If we, as employees, are to survive, thenwe will have to make the effort to change too.
It is simply no longer well enough to sittight in our office chairs and hope that
somehow, if we keep quiet, we will beoverlooked when the hammer of redundancy
strikes.It will be the survival of the
fittestand there will be few exceptions. The rules
have changed too. Qualifications all alonewill no longer guarantee promotion as they
might have done this in the past. In thesenewcircumstances, employees will be
judged on their ability how to resolve conflict,negotiate a solid contract, motivate
people under them to work so hard, anddemonstrate a considerable amount of
personal commitment towards their future ofdevelopment.
