MINDFUL IN WORK

Daily at work, each of us has many things to do. After a period of time, these task becomes routine.

The risk is that people become complacency to their job and fail to see that the routine job has become obsolete.

Below is a short story:

Mr Alpha works in a company for25 years. Ever since he joined the company he has been receiving very good complements from his superior, thus receiving good increment, good bonus.

At the age of 40 years old, he has become a management level, leading a team of six people. However, being "trained" that the job is as per his golden years ago, he leads his team to doing according to what he has been doing for the pass 25 years.

He failed to see that his routine job does not provide sufficient value to the company. This may due to technology change, environment change, company direction change. End Result is that he was asked to leave the company.

Well moral of the story is that we must be mindful of what we do. Do not be complacency and be quick to change.  Do not let yourself become Mr Alpha.
