Shared responsibilites

Each one of us has their own set of responsibilities that need to be performed. It can be those personal ones, or/and which involves others. Making decisions to execute the tasks are solely dependent on each person involved. The tasks may be urgent and important, but the final act of delivery is never guaranteed. This is where free-will roam wild. The repercussion of non-delivery will be felt by all, either directly or indirectly. The interdependency of life on earth guaranteed this outcome. The limit of damage can sometimes be catastrophic, and has no relation to the size and type of action. The man-made disasters which have occurred in past centuries were mostly due to ignorance to those small seemingly insignificant indicators and danger signals. Non-performance of a particular person in any organisations is not unusual. The after-effect of such behaviour may be minor or otherwise. The organisations can be a real infrastructure or a project which has its own structure and inter/intra linkages. The ability for an organisation or a project to absorb this minor lax will determine whether it will survive in the long run. There must be some sort of absorption system in the organisation for this organisational behaviour. The robustness of adaptation to changes will be crucial. Antagonist elements may always be present, but the system robustness will be able to handle any such disturbance. The system is such that no modules or components are too important to the normal running of the process.

If only everyone who has some form of data and mode of communication take the necessary action to address the problem, then the normal incidence of organisational frictions and clashes can be avoided. The elimination of energy usage to this futile entanglement must be minimised. It can never be eliminated, but minimise it can be done. The only condition is that the person taking charge must know the task execution scope. Situational-aware and being conscious of the perimeters of influence are fundamental, so as not to trigger unnecessary dissatisfaction. Responsibilities are too big to be executed by a single person. The job must be shared optimally between capable personalities. Each one of us must deliver and execute our tasks to the best of our abilities. There are no other options. The understanding and execution of shared responsibilities are paramount. Completions of the responsibilities are normally tied with a clear understanding of awards and recognition. Nevertheless, working sincerely is the best way forward. Awards and recognition can never be enough to compensate for the sacrifices that we have made. Hence, the tendency to feel dejected is always present. This is the reason responsibilities must be done on the shoulder of sincerity and trustworthiness. No amount of awards can really commensurate the efforts that we have planted.
