ศิลปะรักษาจุดยืนในที่ทำงาน ที่สภาพแวดล้อมไม่สมบูรณ์แบบ

"When the world isn't always good... but we can still choose to be good."

The art of maintaining a "stand" amid an imperfect environment.

In real life, there is a sentence that we often hear: "This is what they do."

It sounds like an ordinary explanation, but on many occasions it becomes an "excuse" that unknowingly causes many people to lower their own standards.

"When organizations are full of people who talk, we start talking more than we do."

"In the midst of corporate politics, we began to think that honesty could be innocence."

"And when people around us ask, do we start to question whether it is meaningful to work?"

This is not only a matter of morality, but of "human psychology." In the behavioral sciences, there is a key concept called Social Conformity, or social ambiguity. Which is described as

"Humans tend to adjust their own behavior to resemble most people in a group to gain acceptance."

* If we are on a team where everyone is diligent, we tend to be diligent automatically.

* But if we live in an environment full of gossip, shirking responsibility, or asking for help, our standards may gradually decline according to the group.

"What kind of people do we choose in that society?" Because in the real world, we may not always choose our environment, but we always have the full power to choose our identity.

1. Among people speaking... "We choose to act."

* In many organizations, the problem lies not in the lack of ideas, but the lack of "action." Many boardrooms are full of beautiful presentations, sharp analysis, and impressive-looking strategic proposals.

* "But when it's time to take responsibility, very few people are ready to act on the results." The business world today is not lacking in ideas, it is lacking in Execution.

* A lot of organizations have a good Strategy Deck with a big Vision Statement, but what really makes a difference is the people who actually make those things happen. In the long run, people who act consistently become the people the organization trusts the most because credibility is not rhetorical, but it is based on actual results.

2. Among the blasphemers... "We choose to be truthful."

* In many organizations, "internal corporate politics is inevitable," so many people learn to say what the authority wants to hear. Some choose to be silent even knowing that what is happening is going wrong.

* In short, people who play games like this may seem advantageous, but in the long run, what builds a professional's reputation is not their ability to survive, but their integrity or integrity in principle.

* In a world full of complex information, rumors, and benefits, people who speak the truth honestly become very valuable resources because every organization needs trusted people, and trust cannot be built on one-time speech, but it is built on a consistency between what is said and what is done.

3. Among selfish people... "We choose to be sincere."

* As competition increases, many organizations begin to become filled with internal competition, usurping work, creating partisans, or protecting their own interests becomes common. "In this environment, being honest can seem disadvantageous."

* But in reality, sincerity is a powerful long-term investment, because every organization needs people to work together. Successful teams are not made up of one of the best people, "but by a team of trust." People who help others, people who share information, and people who look for mutual benefit are accumulating something called Social Capital, or social capital, which in the long run often outweighs talent alone.

4. Among the lazy... "We choose to be standard keepers."

* One of the most intense pressures in the workplace is the pressure to "lower self-standards."

* Many people have experienced this situation when we work harder than others, we may be seen as making others look bad, when we try to improve our work, we may be seen as too serious?

* But the truth is, the standard of work we maintain is not to please the company, it is to invest in ourselves. Every hour we work hard is to accumulate skills, experience, and expertise. The day new opportunities come, what decides our future is not the same environment, but the standard we create for ourselves.

"Professionalism begins with self-control."

Psychologically, there is an important concept called Internal Locus of Control, which means the belief that our lives are determined by our own decisions, not by fate or environment. People with this idea do not ask why society is like this, but what kind of people we choose to be in this society.

"The power of choice."

We may not always be able to choose who we work with or what kind of organization we are in, but one of the things we always control is "choosing the best version of ourselves."

* Among people who speak, we choose to do it.

* Among the blasphemers, we choose to be truthful.

* Among selfish people, we choose to be sincere.

* And among the lazy, we choose to maintain our own standards.

In the end, the world may not change because of us, but our lives will always change because of our decisions, and sometimes, not devaluing ourselves according to our surroundings is one of the greatest courage of professionalism.

"We may not always choose the world, but we can always choose ourselves."
