In many organisations people
work very hard, but due to lack of clear direction or focus on key priorities,
many overwork. They try harder and harder to swim upstream, but don’t get to
the expected results.
In the risk zone are for
example those people, who have very strong sense of Honour motive. Those with
high Honour are very loyal towards their employer (even though the employer
might not be as loyal towards them). They want to keep their promises and will
do their best to try to finish all the work at hand. But often there is not
enough of time to do it all well, and with lack of overall direction or
priorities, they risk getting burned out.
This might be difficult to
understand, if you yourself don’t have the same high motive. But with the
analogy of some people choosing the military career, to be prepared even to die
for their country, you might understand how different we people are.
Honour is one of the 16
motives all people have, more or less.
