Are you a “Company Man”?\u00a0 Not that you have to be a man to do that.\u00a0 It is a term used for those that have sold out to the company they work for and will do anything for that firm, even lie or cheat.\u00a0 The “Company Man” will sell out his friends and coworkers to get ahead.\u00a0 That is not what this principle is all about.<\/p>\n

This concept is that the individual employee should subordinate their personal goals to achieve the goals of the firm.\u00a0 Taken to an extreme, this can be very negative to the individual.\u00a0 When forced upon the employee, this can prove to be oppressive. The employee should balance their individual aspirations, goals and plans in order to work well with others. No one wants to work with someone that is not a team player.<\/p>\n

This is not a requirement to just blindly do what you are told by anyone that is above you in the pecking order.\u00a0 It also does not mean that the individual complains, drags their feet or derails initiatives just because they do not like them.<\/p>\n

CAD and BIM users need to subordinate their desires to avoid the standard and use the company wide guidelines.\u00a0 Individuals must take a back seat from time to time in order to make progress as a whole.\u00a0 The firm you work for has strategic plans that call for employees to muster their efforts in one direction or another.\u00a0 The employee decided to follow or to go in another direction.<\/p>\n

Companies are looking for those that can align themselves to the firms vision and help make progress to those goals.\u00a0 Employees that contribute and sacrifice are seen as more valuable.\u00a0 It is a balance each employee has to wrestle with.\u00a0 Go along with the firms means and methods, work ethic, demands and such – or choose to go to another firm (or start your own).<\/p>\n

Falling after the prior two principles of unified leadership and direction comes this one – sacrifice for the team.\u00a0 Everybody does this to some level.\u00a0 the prima donna’s do not and may soon find themselves on the street is they are too inflexible.<\/p>\n

Talking a back seat does not mean that you are inferior.\u00a0 It is a choice that you make to set aside personal agendas for the common agenda.<\/p>\n
