Office Schizophrenia
If you look all around in the office, you can find easily that we're so concerned about persenting the better side of ourselves for the world to see that we all are sort of schizophrenic in a way. I guess the disease is just an aggravation of what we keep practising everyday ! Would the ideal work environment be one where people are receptive enough of each other's 'real selfs' and this constant 'background job' of putting up the facade can be safely killed :-) HR practitioners should probably make it a barometer of measuring the success of engagement exercises but observing the extent to which the reserved, introverted workers deviate from their usual 'selves' ! Haven't come across any HR material that talks about this stuff. I guess I'll have to pick up stuff from the psychiatry department for this.
The presence of the real self would be such a performance enhancing drug for the workplace..
