My father remains a very talented photographer and advertising film director. He studied the techniques of the great photographers of the day intensely and he did well. He treated his people well and they worked well for him. Dysfunctional organisations on the other hand forget that character counts. They tolerate your talents to suck up to the top rather than value your character because that’s all that really matters. If an organization doesn’t test your character, you should ask yourself whether that’s an organization you really want to work for.
However, whilst much may seem right, a place run on elitist principles, has one dangerous flaw, which is the fact that the myth that everything good about society is due to the top. Hence, anyone with a brain cell or two starts sucking up to the top in order to get to the resources there and anyone who isn’t in the race is left to die. At the same time, the top develops a belief that it’s the top because of some divine right.
