There’s a story about a priest who had a boorish behavior, being the
head of his parish he would act as if he was the king and master. He would give
unbendable instructions to the head of church organization and he wants it
followed to the letter.
His world and instructions were the norms and laws of his parish even if
it’s flawed. For the reason of his arrogance and lack of humility the spirit of
volunteerism declined. And nobody was willing anymore to give their time to
their local church.
In so many ways a business organization is like a parish church
organization. The priest who is the head and leader of the parish church is
also like the manager/leader of a business organization. And the volunteer
workers of the church are very much like the employees of a business
organization.
What differentiates them is those who work for the business organization
have a regular salary. However, even if they have regular salaries it doesn’t
guarantee that they would work hard and stay longer in the organization. They
should also be treated humanely and with respect otherwise they would resign.
Why? This is for the reason that workers are humans they have feelings
and emotions. They value organization
and organizational managers/leaders that treats them with respect and dignity.
Many business managers and leaders have this mindset that salary only is enough
to make an employee work hard and stay in the organization.
But it doesn’t work that way, salary even if it’s big will not make a
worker work hard and stay. Humane treatment, respect and the feeling that they
are treated as a family would make them work hard and stay longer even forever
in your organization. – Marino J. Dasmarinas
