What’s more important, Values Or Pure Business???
If any young blooded visionary entrepreneur thinks of doing pure business, having the ingredients of honesty, ethics, trust, respect, self esteem, & beliefs; then in the current scenario, he’ll be finding himself encircled with more doubts. Many a times he’ll be confident of his thoughts that honesty, ethics, trust, are pivotal in the current business atmosphere, at the same time he might even get exposed to situations where only Profitable Business is given the higher priority, the one which attracts more of manipulations, lies, cheating your own partners, efforts to enrich own profits ignoring the damages to the adjoined parties and a very very long list of all false activities.
So, the young entrepreneur is now confused among the 2 pathways which one to head towards. He just wants to do a business in which people show trust among themselves, having an organization environment in which they can bank upon each other’s words. Always an inclination towards starting a business in which no immoral activities had to be carried out, no lies to customers have to be said, pay to the employees according to the efforts put in. But envisaging such a business is little tough in today’s time, but not out of reach. While on the other hand, The Professional Business demands just Profit – the ultimate Bottom Line. For Professional Businesses, any activity which produces huge profit for the firm will be appreciated no matter what the methodology been adopted for producing that profit. Values, trust, ethics, are all matter of secondary concern. In such an environment the young entrepreneur or the young talent is suppressed, gradually who then tends to adapt to the prevailing environment and this is what happens it’s the surrounding which matters the most for grooming an enthusiast talent or that special spark which an entrepreneur possesses, utilizing which he can create revolutionary differences.
A Business, why it can’t be pure, why there is more business in Business. If every employee starts carrying out business in their every activity towards the enterprise, then there will be an adversarial atmosphere in the organisation in which people will be reluctant to trust each other, everyone will continuously doubt at each other’s intentions, constantly looking to prepare strategies to outwit their own colleagues and to prove themselves more superior. I do agree that having a competitive atmoshphere is better, but at the cost of what?; Relationships? Trust? Faith? An Organization succeeds only when the organization itself feels the pain of its employees. A professional business keeps the sentiments apart, it always thinks from the Brain, not utilizing a single nerve of Heart.
To conclude, how will we define the word “PURE BUSINESS” ?, Will we call it as the one which says that we do only business, no emotions & feelings attached; we are BIG PROFESSIONALS, we are only concerned with transactions, the outcome of which has to be BIG PROFIT.
Or let’s have the word “Pure Business” be defined as the one inviting the Visionary Entrepreneurs to do what their heart says, achieve whatever they visualized through a medium which gives them satisfaction simply by being ethical & allowing more purity in the term “Pure Business”
So what’s more important for you, Values or Pure Business”???
