Ramblings on machines and men

If your business was a machine, the defining moment of success would be the moment that the machine could continue to operate effectively on its own without your maintenance. Every component was empowered with the resources and the will to continue its purpose according to the vision of the grand purpose. Every autonomous function is created with self sustainability in mind and the awareness of each and every part, such that a harmony exists between all those that exist together in the system. When their is near perfect alignment between the inner most purpose of the individual and the purpose of the role in which they are asked to complete, this creates a satisfaction and ongoing permanence that pervades the need for the external reward mechanism.
