I think the secrect formula could be a collaborative environment that recognizes and validates the individual’s value and motivates them to bring the best selves into the work -that means competition-
This kind of thinking is just a reflection of our survival mode. It has been centuries since we have passed the survival era at least for most of us. But we still live and act like we are still cave man and it is just not enought, we don’t have enough.
Well even if there is something good out of it and it justifies what happened that means we make an assumption. And that assumption is that the correction and results of it justifies all the pain all the suffering. But is that true? Can we really measure the results and measure the pain and justify the situation. Life is not a math equation If we would see that way we would lose our humanity. Even if we want to we could do it only for ourselves because we do not have the right to do it for others. Book of Job clearly talks about that.
