THIS IS FOR ALL TRYING TO BE HIGH END ACHIEVERS...Type A!!

Dear all...THIS IS FOR ALL TRYING TO BE HIGH END ACHIEVERS....

Scientists have studied the behaviours of human beings and classified them as 'Health Enhancing' behaviours...and....'Health Compromising' behaviours...

They have classified the personalities as Type A and Type B

Type A personalities are outgoing, ambitious, rigidly organized, highly status-conscious, sensitive, impatient, anxious, proactive, short-fused, competitive driven, high achievement drive, time urgency, irritated and exasperated and free-floating hostility triggered even by minor incidents. They are often high-achieving "workaholics." They push themselves with deadlines, and hate both delays and ambivalence.

They have a greater chance of developing coronary heart disease and all vascular diseases (high BP, heart attacks etc).

IT SHOULD NOT BE PERCEIVED THAT THESE TRAITS ARE IMPORTANT TO BE SUCCESSFUL. IT SHOULD ONLY BE PERCEIVED THAT THESE TRAITS ARE HEALTH COMPROMISING!!...THAT IS ALL!!

We need to combine health enhancing life style with thinking and management and leadership styles so that we can be successful and healthy too!!

Type A people may be successful, but may not live longer, or just exist or survive after they are affected with health disorders. They may not enjoy the life, peace, happiness. They might aim for promotion or some 'carrots' but after getting them also, they will not be contented or fulfilled or satisfied...they may not even enjoy that success...and continue to be egoistic and running more faster towards the next promotion or 'carrot'.

Why they are like this?

Some times by heredity. Some times by the challenges they faced during developmental / growth process which gave them some learning lessons of life to be like this. Probably they are groomed by their mentors who are also like this and believe in this!!

These people work 'for' promotion and 'carrots'. If they don't get they will get depression and get affected severely. They will be ready to compromise and sacrifice ANYTHING or ANY ONE for achieving their carrots. They are bloody minded. They believe that they are the right and healthiest people, their thinking-emotions and behaviours are right and they term others as lazy and unsuccessful people. They term deviating from ethics and values of human beings as 'white behaviours' i.e positive, acceptable and correct behaviours!...They will term this as 'chanakya' strategy or smartness!!..

They generally do not believe their subordinates as they believe that their subordinates are not like them, not as brainy as they are, they also believe that their subordinates are slow performers not matching with their speeds and intelligence. The subordinates also do not believe them, they do not trust their bosses, as they know that their bosses are 'carrot' centric, do not trust their subordinates and not subordinate or human centric!!...The subordinates know that their bosses can ditch them anytime for their selfish motives. They also know that the relationship, love and affection of their bosses are not from heart but from brain and short lived. They also know that their bosses are acting, not true to themselves, not true human beings, they are wearing masks, they talk something-think something and do something!!

So, the end result is they create an organisation in which the boss does not know whom to believe...he is alone...feels lonely...but strongly believes in himself...so becomes a one-man army...he gets screwed in his own organisation...in the same culture he created...that he does not know who is right and who is wrong...does not know if his subordinate is talking the truth or not. He is unable to see or check everything and everyone by his own self. In the process of doing this he spends his entire day and night in the organisation, screws up his family life, if wife is a GODDESS he gets saved to an extent.

Some of these bosses use 'divide and rule' policy...create spies in their own organisation...they think they are smart and strategic...but in the long run the organisation or culture suffers. They might get their 'carrots' but leave a spoiled image which travels faster than them to their next unit and spreads like a virus in the entire system!!...They end up with more health compromising behaviours or coping skills or defence mechanisms that are ruining...e.g heavy drinking, smoking, tea-coffee etc.

These people always 'paint' a good rosy fantasy picture which appears to be real, to their bosses, and their bosses are also like them to their bosses, painting the same rosy and grey (not white or black) picture to their bosses...so that they can slip between the cup and the lip...to achieve their carrots...so, no one knows what is right, who is right....no correct corrective actions can be taken, every one takes a decision that is beneficial to them, but paint as if it is useful to the organisation!!

Both the boss and the subordinate know that they are acting to each other and it is not a realistic, true, long lasting relationship. So, it is stressful. There is no inner satisfaction in any domain to any one.

But the truth and correct strategy or behaviours is 'working "TOWARDS" carrots!!...Here the Type B personality is not competitive and comparative. He aims his goal within his abilities and stretchable boundaries. He grooms his knowledge, skills, personality attributes, life style to reach the goals in a life time, he lives within the values and ethics of human life, he enjoys every moment, he nurtures good relationships, lives at lower stress levels, there is no winning or losing for him as he is not competing with any one and comparing his life or skills or knowledge or abilities with any one, he defines his destiny-goals-passions-life path, he is philosophical, knows the values of everything in life and on this earth, he is slowly, steadily and progressively growing in his own evaluation, while enjoying every present moment, while being creative by indulging in all sorts of art forms, they explore concepts, ideas, they accept people as they are and destiny as it is, they are reflective and think of the 'outer and inner' world...they know the art of living and loving people, nature, job, relationships and every bit of this earth, world and work!!...

They make and create self actualizing, inspiring, radiating, happy atmosphere in the work environment, peaceful surroundings and leave a long lasting humane culture in the organisations. They are remembered positively by all for a long time.

The subordinates wake up in the morning to go happily to their organisations...they like seeing their bosses, they like spending more time with their bosses as they feel it is a value added time...they feel spiritual, heaven and divine in the aura of their bosses!!

Whereas if Type A is the boss, then the subordinate wakes up with frustration, he does not want to go to the department, he feels suffocating in the organisation, he hates seeing his boss, he hates going to work, he is not happy, he is not peaceful, he is not sure of his future and feels it is not going to be bright under the Type A, he avoids meeting his boss, he lives in a hell!!

Peacefully yours...Rams...Psychologist!!
