Optimizing the whole!

Optimizing the Whole

Okay here it goes. I'm not sure what to say about this. Optimizing the whole-this is like the church. We try to perfect one another so that we all return to the same Person-God. However there are some people who don't want to be optimized or saved in religious terms so we suboptimize them, serve them and love the heck out of them until they want to be optimized. So in the five engines that a business runs with, or organization-its probably impossible to optimize each area so you move it around and do things so that it is progressing for the better. This is what I understand about optimizing the whole!

Optimize the whole.
I believe the most challenging obstacle to optimizing the whole is getting all the parts to make the initial sacrifice. There is an inherent perception that by giving up something (power, praise, control, money) the loss is permanent. If it is understood that the loss is temporary and ultimately the gain is greater, then each should be willing to sacrifice. Another challenge is the perception that one’s success is based upon another’s failures. The mentality that teaches people to suppress others that an individual success can be gained thereby is detrimental to all parties involved.
