OVERLY TOLERANT EXECUTIVES ARE CREATING UNPRODUCTIVE & UNCARING EMPLOYEES

what you believe is where you are going

The consequence of relaxed societal standards has been; increased drug abuse, more children born out of wedlock, abortion normalized as a means of birth control, an epidemic of fatherless families, kids joining gangs, criminals receiving lenient sentences, and a dependency-creating welfare state that has become a multi-generation way of life.  Our tolerant society is also spawning too many unproductive and uncaring employees.   

 Robert Bly’s book, The Sibling Society, suggests that the swinging 60’s is the direct cause of a large percentage of today’s population being stalled in a perennial state of adolescence.  Mothers and fathers want to be friends rather than parent their children.   We have drifted towards a Peter Pan type of Never Never Land-where nobody has to grow up.  In 1900 people were expected to mature after childhood.  The forgiving status of ‘teenager’ was nonexistent.  Too many adults have been conditioned to avoid taking personal responsibility.  They expect the state take care of them.

 History validates that productive cultures come from having a shared vision of the preferred future, and rigidly enforcing declared behavioral boundaries with predictable consequences.  Many CEOs believe that documenting corporate values is a PR initiative—not a culture shaping set of aspirations and behavioral boundaries.  A company’s cultural-values are signaled by what executives tolerate—not by words spieled at corporate events or hung on lobby walls. 

Well known ancient writings support the  premise that what makes a culture productive is the process of balancing  Inspiration ( Vision) and Discipline (Rules):  Proverbs 29:18  Where there is no vision the people perish; but he who keepeth the law, happy is he.
