The need to know what is really going on / by kevin murray

There are those times when we definitely need to know the why of what is so happening to us, and our inability to know that why can easily lead then to a whole lot of frustration as well as confusion.  That is why those who have the annoying habit of simply giving orders and then expecting such to be obeyed without objection, or discussion, need to understand that orders are more likely to be obeyed when those who are supposed to obey those orders, understand the reasoning behind such.

 

In life, we are going to invariably be placed in those situations in which our voice does not matter and of which it is expected of us to do what we have been given to do, but it has to be understood that human beings are thinking beings, and because we are thinking beings this signifies that we have an inherent interest in knowing why we are being told to do certain things, and therefore to know the purpose, so of. While it has to be said, that there are times when that information cannot be prudently disseminated, that clearly also means there are plenty of times when that information could be provided, but for whatever reason, it is withheld from us.

 

Those who desire to develop loyalty from other people have got to recognize that the price of that loyalty involves the need to get successfully across to them what the big picture is and to make sure therefore that this is understood well by those who are an integral part of getting that result to so occur.  That is to say, when people know what they are working towards and believe in the principle behind such, then they often do not need to know all of the details or minutia to do their good part to get this actualized, but without that information, dissent and willful disobedience may well occur.

 

There are plenty of people who desire to do their fair part to get good results on behalf of those who employ them, or who teach them, but are resentful of leaders who have a bad habit of essentially just desiring to boss them, without any real explanation of why this has to be the way that it is.  Those who feel that they are being used and that therefore their viewpoint either doesn’t matter or has no relevance, are going to be prone to not only feelings of frustration, which can lead to anger, but this can even become a situation in which they then desire to undercut the whole process.

 

In regards to any objective of which a particular person or entity is in charge of achieving a certain goal, and of which it is necessary to join hands with others to accomplish that given task, then it would behoove those that are in charge of those matters to take the time to explain not only the purpose of what is so occurring but also of its importance, which when done correctly, would make for a better and more coherent team that thus would do their good part to help achieve that very thing.
