Magic of Tasks
We all get tasks to do in our life. Some come with our work, some with our private life. Some are designed by us, others get designed by the situation we are in, by other people. Some tasks get designed by the epoch we live in while others may just come by chance. Some tasks are important, other just relevant. Some may fit to us while others may fit to others.
We are not always the decider of our tasks we may even not always own them. If there is a deadline, and we must keep it, time may become predominant. If the tasks come by a beloved person, it may be more relevant than a task to support a colleague we do not like very much. However, hierarchy may as well decide about relevance of tasks, and its prioritization. The free will we claim to have may be challenged by tasks.
In a world when we claim to have everything under control, we may have to learn that a task may not be controllable. We may see how decisions taken by others influence our life. In the recent past we could see it during a pandemic caused by Covid and the consecutive breakdown of supply chains changed our life often as well – supermarkets have been emptied while production areas cried urgently for raw materials of parts to assemble.
The unexpected by nature will travel and arrive unexpected. To build it in an organization will help to be resilient and to deal with the unknown task. If you organization observed too may unknowns it will be time to talk.
