The single most important course of loss of productivity is Ethics<\/strong> in a world where familiar markers of behaviour have been demolished by fast-paced social change (Durkheim<\/a>).<\/em> When faced with an important decision, people find it hard to choose one over the other. This leads to a paralysis brought about by what S\u00f8ren Kierkegaard<\/em> (1813-1855) calls Anxiety<\/strong> (Wikipedia<\/a>). Unfortunately, all of social science and management will only be of help to us implement the choice once it is made, but they offer little help in making the choice. So how do we know which is the best right way forward? The biggest tragedy is the tragedy of numbers. Saying that “….when faced with such choices 90% of the people chose the left option.” Does not automatically make it the right choice. Simply put, knowing what IS the case so far does not automatically tell us what OUGHT to be (Davide Hume<\/a>).<\/p>\n\n\n\n
