The theory of lost potential, or why humanity could not fully reveal the human potential to date

    Looking back over the years, we can not fail to note the technological progress that has been achieved for these years. But despite all the resources available to help us develop our potential, we are still far from developing the full potential of every single person. Why? What prevents us? And the answer is a little paradoxical. We ourselves! Yes, I'm not kidding. This is due to the generally accepted principles, the way of organization and the relationships in the business and economy of the industrial age. Principles such as:

• "Workplace competition motivates employees to do their best."

• "Divide and conquer." And many others.

 Nonsense! These principles only create prerequisites for tension, subversive games, intrigue, and the creation of an extremely toxic working atmosphere that loses excess energy to the team and destroys the development potential of both man and the team and the company as a whole. Instead, all employees should be considered as equal partners working together to achieve a common goal.

Overall, the pyramid structure of a guide used so far is no longer a suitable model. Why? Let's see what activities are designed to serve the created model. Created in the industrial age, it was supposed to ensure a good organization and compliance with the orders given by management to achieve certain results. What has changed over the years?

• Better education - if at the beginning of the era educated people were few, today in developed countries all or almost all have a minimum basic education, ie. the abilities they have are better and could therefore be more productive. Then, why do we use an outdated model that instead of encouraging the development of the potential of each employee, both the team and the company; only slows down these processes, making them cumbersome and creating demotivation among employees. In the end, the structure and organization must serve people and businesses so that they create an optimal working environment rather than people being forced to observe an outdated pattern that starts to damage the business.

• New technologies - thanks to them many of the processes are digitized and robotized, making it extremely easy to track and control them.

By giving them more freedom and looking at their employees as their partners, it will allow for better development of each organization. Because they are really their best partner, on which every aspect of their business depends. In my opinion, the principle "Your employees are your biggest asset." Is true, but inaccurate in terms of employees not being the property of the firm. That is precisely why they must be seen as a partner to which optimal conditions must be ensured in order to be able to perform their work with the optimum result. Capital alone cannot create value. Value is created by the people who create a product or service to be realized on the relevant market.

In order to reveal the full potential of mankind, attempts to compare and create competition ("Who is more, more, most") should be avoided. Other examples may be given: how two great artists like Beethoven and Steibelt, working together, had to face each other in an improvisation competition that once was a popular form of entertainment among the aristocracy (for more information: https://iskamdaznam.com/piano-duela-t-mezhdu-betoven-i-shtajbelt/). This shows how two great virtuosos, having so far actually lost the potential they would have if they worked together. If only four notes are enough to create the Eroica symphony, declared the greatest symphony of all time (https://www.ploshtadslaveikov.com/naj-velikata-simfoniya-na-vsichki-vremena/), imagine what they could create if they have been working together. Now, we cannot understand. This applies to every area of ​​art, science, work and activity. The three singers, who sing together, create an incredible performance, and this in no way diminishes the majesty of each of them. The fact that one thinks in one way and another man does not mean that one of them is wrong. On the contrary, these are different points of view; a different way of thinking that combined together can make even a new discovery. The fact that everyone is different is the greatest wealth and potential of mankind. Because all people are connected to each other by purely human relationships: everyone is a client or a supplier of someone, that is, a partner in one form or another. In the same aspect, any relationship in society can be considered as a relationship between partners, depending on one another. All people, businesses and institutions are interdependent, dependent and influencing one another. And the only way one of them to be ok, is when all of them are and the opposite.

 

    The solution is to invest in the development of each person's potential, which will lead to innovation and better productivity, which in turn will reduce costs, create new products and services on the market, increase business profits and improve conditions both for citizens and for businesses and for the institutions. Therefore, any violence on a person should be considered a crime against humanity. Let me give an example with an anomaly found in Einstein's brain. If science knew about this anomaly before it was born and it was decided that it was better not to be born, we can imagine what a loss of potential and knowledge there would be. Let's not talk about progress. Now let's imagine all the killed children and people, what potential will never be realized. Perhaps one of them was the next Einstein, Tesla, Edison, Fleming, and so on. We can only be grateful that they have all survived and have nevertheless managed to unleash their potential to have all of us a better future, a better life and the treatment of most illnesses. What future will we leave to the next generations depends on us today.
