HOW TO OVERCOME

FRUSTRATION IN THE CORPORATE

WORLD

MEANINGFUL COMMUNICAT ION

1. PSYCHOLOGY OF COMMUNICATION:

 Labor without a purpose or an aim  Toiling for no reason at all Labor with no Meaning (Meaningless labor)

2. Dostoyevsky – The House of the Dead

3. Work and life at large imply a

search for Meaning – (Viktor

Frankl)

“Those who have a 'why' to live, can bear with almost any

'how'.” 

“In some ways suffering ceases to be suffering at the moment

it finds a meaning, such as the meaning of a sacrifice.” 

“Life is never made unbearable by circumstances, but only by

lack of meaning and purpose.” 

4. Homo Sapiens X Homo Patiens

5. Idealism = the only form of Realism. Frankl:

“If we ask a human being to be what he must be, we will allow him to be what he can be. Conversely, if we accept him as he is, we will end up making him worse than he actually is. The person who said this was not my flight instructor. Rather, I am practically echoing Goethe’s ideas. Therefore, I am hereby claiming that [this] idealism is, ultimately the only true form of realism”.

6. Meaning is not “instilled” – but rather, discovered --- unveiled

It is OBJECTIVE

7. Meaningful (Significant) Communication – relies upon authentic Meaning

success – fulfillment 

8. Communication ----- Self-awareness – “Self-knowledge” – Self-discovery

Connection with a deep Meaning

9. In order to speak with each other,

we must speak to ourselvesI must speak to myself first “Love thy neighbour as thyself”

 10. Communication in the corporate

world:- Leadership must be self-evident ---

authenticity- Efficient employees do what they can

and what gives them pleasure

11.

- relationships reduced stress- “decentralization”- shared responsibilities, common purposes – shared / common Meaning

12. Jung – Self

Our axis, center origin goal

The greater the connection with the Self – the deeper our self-awareness and “self-knowledge”

13. The greater the contact with our authentic Self, the more selfless we become Deep knowledge of ourtrue Self reduced narcissismThe more unique we are, the more collective we become

15. We do not work for ourselves --- but rather, for a global system

= ethics= environmental sustainability= welfare

16. – relaxation techniques – meditation practices

- working at home and from home – emphasis upon family life

- frequent breaks for leisure and social interaction

- emphasis on process rather than on results

- individual psychological assistance -- (confidential)

17. THE MEANS JUSTIFY THE END rather than THE END JUSTIFIES THE MEANS

18. Empty communication X Authentic communication

Not merely rhetoricalRefuted by Nazi dogma?

 Empty communication – results that do not lastAuthentic communication – long-lasting results

19. Political discourse –
