Mind sets and Enterprises
For any enterprise to take on an new methodology or a framework that it can adapt , certain paradigm shifts need to be made in thinking or changing its Mind sets
What comprises of mind sets ?
I would say that organizations do not really start as infants , in fact they start as adolescent teenagers ( the painful kinds ! ).The first people who get in to start things , make rules, policies come with their baggage and start doing things the way they are comfortable with and the way their previous organizations have taught them to . When new people come into the company they start imitating these pretty much like the teenager who imitates his rock /pop idol’s hairdo.
And if those mind sets are not the ones that encourage “self driven” way of doing things , they need to be changed .
HR, recruiting needs to be aware of these trends in the industry and should probably have measurable mechanisms that look for a couple of things
1.> How self driven is a resource ?
2.> How adaptable to change is the resource being hired ?
Getting a change , shift in thinking never works in Isolation ,it needs to be well thought out and needs to be collaboratively tackled .
