The Three Musketeers and idealism in organisational behaviour

!One for all and all for one." It's the motto of the Three Musketeers
and the unofficial motto of Sweden.

It wouid be great if organisations and communities are like this in an
idealist's sense. I think there's probably a continuum of this sentiment
upon which different organisations and social groups score upon.

It feels like a very socialist ideal to me. It's what I'd want from my
squad if I were ever a soldier.

It's about employees being allowed flexibility in supporting their
colleagues in work and can informally extend to the nature of work
relationships/social cliques. Workloads in any organisation that has to
react to the environment they do business in requires needs this
capacity to be able to meet these needs. This can be done through hiring
additional human resource as well. It's an option which is commonly used
and often works for relatively menial tasks. But at other times it's
skilled staff with knowledge of the organisation and the systems that
are needed fast. Cross trained staff with workload planning to allow for
the spare resource to react to each others varying work needs can mean
projects can be delivered better and on schedule.

There's also the impact of very high stress levels. In many
organisations people work at a continual rate of high stress. Meeting
the demands of peak loads can take those stress levels beyond the apex
of the stress-performance/cognition curve so work becomes less
effective. Riding this curve is a fine art but if done well the highest
productivity and performance can be achieved with the mimimum negative
impact on employee physical and mental health.

I guess anyway.
