There is a sensation that many businesses are somewhat lost. They feel unsure about present circumstances and, in many ways, what their real purpose is.
<people living in advanced economies doubt that the capitalism scheme, in its current form, is working for the best interest of all, as companies seem to operate only for their benefit and not for the customer's best. Most are lost in the belief that their interest must be at the top, and they dedicate their lives to generating massive profits for the wealthy investors only, forgetting all about people.
People are quitting their job because they are fed up with being neglected at work. They have dedicated their entire lives and efforts to the company whilst receiving a paycheque not covering the need to bring up a family; not even enough to pay children's school, as they were offered once.
Workers find themselves not being trusted, but it is currently a familiar feeling in our society; the world distrust businesses, the Media, governments, NGOs, and even Science. Those leaderships think more about their benefits than the workers' development, resulting in an existential crisis.
Businesses' significant challenges in 2022 are creating real value to benefit companies, the whole world and Nature to be prosperous.
For sure, they have to change the working frame and stop taking advantage of their employees and the environment whilst making money for their associates only, as that strategy will no longer work so well, not for them, not for people.
The global pandemic lockdowns and the so many social protests worldwide have to be takeaway lessons. Something significant shifted in people's minds, who are watching and talking and are now more aware of how their consumer support ensures continuity.
We can say that the vision to short-term success currently sacrifices the longer-term strategic outlook, a poor attitude in which companies act in a stressful-unsustainable behaviour.
Always following near-term objectives and incomes keep stakeholders pleased in the here and now; these enterprises are destined to underperform their authentic capability and are likely to pass on the staff pointless stress to keep going the company's whole performance.
Without the proper consideration for a longer-term vision, these companies are either sold to more prominent organisations or sooner or later break down into a marketplace that is continuously adapting to meet customers' needs in promising approaches.
Leaders who recognise that their mind frame and behaviour are not sustainable in a speedily ever-changing world should be honest, stop focusing only on shortcomings, and start engaging on a new recovery course by following some practical steps.
For organisations suffering from short-term thinking, these steps are ongoing. It is a process that needs time, awareness and dedication to overcome linear thinking.
Steps for better future thinking:
- We must admit that we have a typical business problem always thinking of our profits and success first rather than creating real value for customers and society.
- We need to be honest and recognise our strengths and weaknesses to focus our maximum resources while still developing.
- The need to achieve a higher commitment beyond ourselves is a more profound and sustainable way to find the answer to our full potential.
- Commit to pursuing your company higher purpose daily.
- To admit that the journey to suitability is through continuing organisational learning we decide to grasp every day in our dedication to permanent progress.
- We need to be ready and focus our interest on what is happening beyond and around us.
- We need to create value and afford informed solutions to those external changes whilst forecasting how they might unfold into the future to respond accordingly.
- Revise and amend the company past, causing partners and communities detriment of the company may have caused.
- We need to continue thinking and acting on personal quality inventory.
- To constantly reflect on our journey the more excellent vision of the future; amend your path when you should stray from it.
Conclusions: we need to commit to these future thinking principles to carry this message on to those who are struggling to change their narrow thinking and continue practising in all of their matters to develop your thinking, capital, resources, and skills to be more future-focused to best concentrate on your customers' needs whilst giving yourself the opportunity and allow yourself to exploit your real potential.
