Expectations for the self in work performances, and how it, corresponds with the expectations of our, superiors, and reviewing over our past values of our selves, see how we'd grown more, mature through the years of working experiences we had…translated…
Editors, as a low-requirement, but multifunctional post, handling everything that occur every day, repeat is our daily life, this means, that, most of times, we rely on our experiences to help us through, to lower the risk of things going wrong, or wasting anything away. Even if it's someone we're working with for the very first time, the first time we work on this particular subject matter, the gained experiences became a bonus of time, and it always, help set up the directions, the orders of the fundamental work, the progresses we set, the principles, the key points or the questions, and we get to, move steps forward, instead of, running around in, circles.
On the matter of the gained experiences, it's like a double edged sword, on the one side, it has the wisdom, the experiences, making us able to adjust our means, to fit to what's most, economical, and help us let go of those, unrealistic, ideas; and, if we're proactive, with wider interests, then, we are sure which areas we hadn't tapped into yet, which can help us, increase our own experience in what's new and never done before. And so, other than the assigned duties of work, the decision right, this became the important setting for making the, decisions, and so, on the other side of this, double-edged sword, there's the considerations of having too many cases at hand, what the priorities of those leaders, the organizations are, the balancing out of the efficacy, and the profits, the expected value output of the cost and the products, then, we would get the words of, "it's enough", as reminders of, not going too far, to slam on the brakes, the reminders of less you do, the less chances you'll have it, wrong.
In the already set up systems of publishing, due to the limited time and resources we'd been, given, there's that limit to how far we are to discuss the matter of "trying it out". And, the values of this experience, and the wait, needed to be restricted, to only signing those with the talents, to the point of giving them the rules and restrictions they need to follow: for instance, the cover designers would be called, to give us only two, to three edition covers, to complying with us on one MAJOR change in layout, no room for discussions—because if we'd allowed for more, then, it would cause the malfunctioning of the communication means, and, in the designers' minds, it would no longer be called "work", then, the alarms in logic started sounding, and, the designer would deem, that the entire team have no clue what they're doing, and if the designer tries to appease, then, it would rely solely on luck, which meant, that total lack of respect, do find yourself another designer then.
This trial-by-error type of interaction, would improve due to the times we cooperate together, and, once we get on track with each other's expectations, everything would start flowing smoothly then. The most difficult however, is still the interpersonal relations of the workforce, you may not guess about the meet up, and you also, can predict the outcomes, or maybe, this is why a lot of those in my industry cared so very much, about who'd, dropped out of the fields, who'd, switched tracks.
No matter if it's a new manager, or the first-time employees, a lot of things can't be gotten by the written or the resources in print, and what we needed to get on track with each other, is through the interactions, the writings exchanged, adapt, adapt, and adapt some more—how much time will I have to spend, with this person who's, before me? How long will it take for her/him, to transition into work? To those who'd worked in the field a long time, the listening and talking, reading habits, and ability to understand what's read, is the most fundamental of requirements, following this, the evaluation standards included, is the newly hired too self-centered to the point of lacking flexibility? Too shy, but with the ability to withstand the pressures from work, and can be very, flexible? Honest, but blunt, can say the right things when needed with the various people s/he encounters?
Although, this test of interpersonal should always be, two-way; but, I believe, that this is the chance for the redefinition of the one who is here first, to adjust to the means of working well together———compared to what is required for the newly hired, maybe, as the superiors, we need to figure out, "What version of the self we want to, become"? What are the foundations we want to have, to help ourselves adapt better to the working environment? And those who are in the senior positions can also ask: do you remember, "what sort of a self you want to, become?" that newborn bird before only started, living, while I'd become, nearly, completely spent, almost, run out of something that's called the drive, the passions for work already, in this day and age, what moves me right now, how is it the same or different, from what moved me back then, when I, first, begun, working in this, industry?
And so, this is on introspections mostly, not asking someone else, to live up to your standards, but, to review over our own actions, to see if our requests are, reasonable, and know why it is, that we'd, set up these standards for ourselves to follow, to try and NOT require those who work for us, to live up to the high standards we set for our own selves, because, expectations will only cause us to become, disappointed, but, in the lines of work we're doing, there's a lot of requirement, that we're expected to meet, and the requirements that we expect those who work for us, need to, meet too.
