Don’t be stupid.

Perpetuating organizational greed by creating community cultures to generate substantial social pressure for employees to perform while under compensating is stupid.

Strong organizational community creates a group of employees whom often find personal identity and connection to a mission, purpose, and vision; this type of business relationship generates incredibly valuable emotional labor rooted in self-sacrifice and creativity. However, if your company utilizes this relational approach to business, but, continually makes decisions solely in the favor of the organization, in the long-run this is what you’ll get; unions, strikes, contempt, disrespect, and failure.

If the mission of your organization to create a shift in culture by way of a cause, product, service, or widget; fair compensation should be the foundation of your organization.

The rule of entrepreneurship is simple, if you can find someone who can do it better & cheaper – hire.

It’s a brilliant rule, but it must be used with caution and generosity – cheaper, yes; exploitive, no.

If your company borrows capital, it feels amazing – fancy marketing campaigns, pretty websites, and nice office furniture; but if you never pay it back – you go bankrupt.

Human capital is the same.

If you take human capital and never compensate your workforce – you’re bound to go bankrupt sooner or later.
