Everyone has much to offer, but some have more than others at various times.  To add value to your organization and our world, add to your foundations, education, skills, and knowledge and contribute what you can.  Classifying people in categories directly or indirectly limits someone’s confidence, self-esteem, and inclusion as part of the organization.  I favor eliminating the unnecessary categorizations, processes, and complexity that allow more focus on controversy and process instead of problem-solving.  If we plan out an organization where everyone is the same and different at the same time, it would be best.  If we all treated one another with love, care, and respect and worked together in a way that inspired everyone to contribute and collaborate, we would be better off.  We are different, and our diversity is excellent as it allows each person to venture into areas that interest them relative to their aspirations, passions, purposes, paths, and interests.  We learn from one another this way, allowing the most excellent inclusive effort from the broadest diversity.  If we were all the same, we would have a monoculture.  Monocultures are susceptible to perturbation because of a lack of diversity.  We must be the same in our collective foundational humanity and different regarding each of our potential contributions, whatever they may be relative to the sustainable striving potential of the organization and beyond.

First, I would eliminate the classification and compartmentalization of being a worker.  It does not make sense.  It is an old industrialist concept.  Let’s move beyond that concept towards respect and higher rational allocation regarding incentives for doing the most challenging jobs.  I think that one of the problems is that too many people have forgotten what it is like to be a “worker” because many are more concerned with process and organizational aspects of functioning.  To me, some of the higher relative importance positions in every organization are those on the front lines doing the actual “work” of the organization.  I consider manual labor an energy expenditure as crucial as many more brain energy expenditures in organizations.  It is all energy but just a different type that requires another part of the body.  It is evident, however, that when it comes to ideas, problem-solving, creativity, and innovation that strive to lead us to a more sustainable future, anyone can contribute regardless of their role in the organization.  It is more of a relative concept.  Some may contribute more this time because of their unique life, and others may contribute more the next time because of their unique life.  The rigidity in structure and conventional functioning, along with the excess complexity, causes stagnation and lack of creativity in organizations from the smallest to the largest.  If we want unions, I suggest they embrace everyone in the organization.  We all should be considered a valuable part of an organization and not be compartmentalized.
