The experience, which arises as daily learning, leads us to discover that we are protagonists of our own history and at the same time architects of a future built with fragments of the past, be it in the organization, in the family or in any other social space where we develop our life.
Since we are born, we involve in our development the entire context that surrounds us, from the traditions that our family transmits to us, passing through the geographical components and the daily learning that we incorporate into the way we relate to others.
Self-knowledge is a process that leads us to build a self-concept that places us in a certain way against the social expectations that we must face every day and that often condition the response we give to the reality we build.
S. Covey, in his book "The Seven Habits of Highly Effective People" invites us to make individuality a capacity that transforms the history that we had to live, with his phrase "making things happen" encourages us to discover that We are the protagonists of our own becoming, that to be responsible is not only to assume the consequences of my past acts but also to integrate the personal vision into daily management.
Personal life, understood as individuality, leads us to recognize that it is built thanks to others, those around us and they are the permanent promoters of our being. Being gregarious is recognizing that our longings and hopes are achieved with others, that the desire to reach the top and fulfill our objectives is in the interest of others.
The history of our life has other protagonists and antagonists, it is full of chapters and scenes that we live recognizing our successes and also the lessons where we learn that defeat is a necessary step in the search for triumph and future success.
Self-management is an invitation to discover the potential that we have to become what we have imagined, to know that, in the end, we make the decisions ourselves and that the internal leader will show us the path that we must travel to find the light that we have sought, the forest that follows the desert and the dawn that appears after the dark night.
It is an invitation to recognize that what other people tell us, no matter how wise, prepared and experienced they are, are only suggestions that we must evaluate based on the mission and personal vision that we have. Autonomy means that we recognize our strengths and weaknesses to define how we move in search of the results that we have programmed for ourselves.
Management of itself means then that our destiny is not a book written from eternity, nor that we are determined in this or that situation, it is about recognizing the capacity we have to make timely and accurate decisions capable of moving the history we live in. the direction we want. Delivering our future to the result of some letters, cigarette smoke, horoscope and others that we know is to recognize our inability to assume the leading role in the history that we had to live and hand it over to a third party who interprets our insecurities through objects that end making the fetish an option for action.
We live then between fears and hopes; However, the idea of this reflection is also to identify that the results that we obtain in the contexts in which everyday life takes place, such as family, company, friends, the community where we participate, etc., are mediated by the SHARED CHALLENGE, for the ability to recognize that it is others who finally generate meaning in the actions we carry out.
A brief reflection for those of us who have the responsibility to recognize the behavior of people in organizations has to do with the ability to be observant and recognize the typology of the people who make up the work teams, verify the moods and find them the response to the situations imposed on us by daily life in the company, conflicts, lack of assertiveness, overt aggressiveness and other behaviors that lead us to intervene in order to maintain the relational aspects at the frontiers of organizational productivity.
