21 Success secrets to be a happy and successful professional!

We become part of some of the organizations directly or indirectly at some point in time in our life. Most of us have worked in an organization – even a family is a type of organization. The whole human world is a web of interconnected and interdependent organizations with an ultimate purpose—to serve humanity. The word “Organization” is so widely used that its meaning can sometimes be lost. The term “Organization” means a collection of resources that are working together to achieve a common purpose. When we talk about an organization, we are usually referring to a group of people. Therefore, an organized group of people working for a common goal and purpose is organization. It is a social unit of people that is structured and managed to meet a need or to pursue collective goals. There are various types of organization around us. But irrespective of their nature, all organizations have a management structure that determines relationships between the different activities and its members and subdivides and assigns roles, responsibilities, and authority to carry out various tasks. Organizations are open systems-They affect and are affected by their environment, both human-made and natural. The ultimate purpose of the existence of any organization around the globe is to serve people NOT to make money only! Is it not it? Just ask yourself—if you are in agribusiness, why you do what you do? If you are in the software development business, why you do what you do? If you are in the learning and development business, why you do what you do? Every one of us may feel that we are different depending upon the nature of work we do or the nature of the industry sector we are operating. But if we go a little bit deep down, the purpose of everyone’s business is to cater to the need of people or to serve the people and humanity. However, at times, it lost its focus in day-to-day busyness in meeting deadlines, targets, top-line and bottom-line figures, profit and loss figures, individual personal and professional aspirations of its members and aspirations of its various stakeholders or shareholders.
