commanding heights.
• Organizations are generally driven by pre
determined goals. They employ physical, financial
and human resources to achieve their goals.
• These goals must be understood by employees to
translate them into concrete results.
• People work for money, to feel useful and for a
feeling of accomplishment and creativity.

• People also want to gain recognition and to
achieve status or to test their capabilities.
• Organizations and employees join hands for
mutual needs but this union is seldom perfect.
• They both find obstacles in their paths.

obstacles and optimize the contributions of
both the organization and its people.
