My Rant on Hubristic Individuals

A team will cease to improve if they are complacent of their past achievements or success. Having the spotlights shining brightly on them with high respect and expectation will only makes them become addictive to such power.

Achievements and success are sweet to savor but they are not permanent. These feelings is nothing but just a reminder to keep trying and progress for more achievement, not to maintain, but to excel. Not only to excel among peers and competitors, but also in our own limitations of knowledge, skills and also mentality.

I've heard a sayings, "Power is like Morphine", which I do agree on very much. And this is the legal addiction that lead to the downfall of many men or organisations. Many failed to realize they had fell into this category of addiction. Which is why, power does not last as long as it is an addiction.

That, will affect the overall progress of the whole organisation, which in turns, will lead to a downturn trend which slowly leads to it's demise.

So, it is totally reasonable to understand why is there always a group of third party, being placed in the sideline to observe and evaluate the current situation. It is to put everyone's feet firmly on the ground, where they are supposed to be. Only those with open heart shall heed those reminders stem from these observations and stress for improvements.

Otherwise, the calls from these observers are nothing but pollutions. They are considered as pest to the team, disturbances or hindrances as they would see it.

Auditors or observers, are lead by guidelines, and has no benefit in any way should they give out calls for improvement. These team of pesky people does not share your spotlight nor your glory should you enjoy a new success or achievement. They are the shadowed, and only work in the background.

No matter what, they are just an observer, which will only remain outside your court, witnessing your success or your downfall. They will clap on your achievement, but will never gloat on your downfall.

The choice if yours, whether to embrace them, and quit the addiction. Or to ignore them, and continue to be oblivious to your addiction.

All the best to you.
