The True United

Unity can be a big problem for certain organisations. People enter a group for various reasons. People who enter a group for a reason may carry with them a few physical and emotional baggages. People who come into a group with their inevitable baggages create disharmony and disunity in the group. All in all, a new face within an organisation means problems.

But it is up to the leader to make sure that these problems will not escalate into full scale conflicts.

This is what i'm learning currently. I have come into this agency not to make friends, but to work. I have ruffled a few feathers here and there, and there's bound to be people who do not like me for one reason or another. So, screw that! I am fed-up trying to be friendly to people. I am here to work, and to work to my full potential, whatever you may do to me.

Focus is important. If the whole group is focused on the same goal, then problems will play second fiddle. We are here for a greater reason than what your minute, individualistic yearnings can conjure up. We are here not to make friends, but to work as a team. We do not need to like each other, nor do we have to pretend that we are friends, but we must play to each others' strengths, instead of trying to step each other down. If an employer can attain such a spirit at the office, then he/she has the ability to harness the best of all his/her employees. The organisation will therefore have acheived perfection. (Well, at least as good as it can get)
