Fake security – a feeling often built in organisations and then dealing with the aftermath, where people are surprised that there is no complete security in their lives.
One of the best examples of creating a sense of insecurity is fixed-term employment contracts, where people are surprised when they expire and sometimes lose their heads.
But what is clear is that no one person in any organisation works indefinitely – every thing that is started will one day end. Even if today is the first day of working for this organisation, one day it will be the last. We should not be surprised that things that are born die so that a new one can be born.
A lack of acceptance of the changeability of life seems to be at the root of most problems in organisations – we think there is stability and then we are surprised when there is not and circumstances change. Whatever the circumstance.
Perhaps leaders should also be concerned not with creating a sense of insecurity, but with creating an environment where people accept that life is changeable, flexible, imperfect? It seems to me that going through life becomes much smoother if we start to accept life as it is – in life.
