Ans1. In the golden words of Walt Disney, "We keep moving forward, opening new doors and doing new things, since we are curious and this curiosity keeps leading us to the new paths". One attributes that distinguishes a successful entrepreneur from others is their inclination towards gaining new knowledge and efforts to comprehend the unknown, underlying the importance of curiosity (Boss, J., 2015). Curiosity is to look for answers to possibly the most mundane questions and understanding the rationale behind what looks normal. This is because learners who consistently look for new answers since they recognize curiosity is the missing piece that instils energy in an idea, it is indeed the path that results to novel discoveries (TED., 2007). Comprehending Exhibit 6.2 on page 139 and Exhibit 6.3 on page 142, it is very evident that if any business wants to survive this test of time along with thrive on opportunities, they need to critically think on their decisions and innovate (McShane, S. and Glinow, M., V., 2017). I want explain with examples when I had employed the rational decision-making process in work-related scenarios.
Stress and hypertension is rampant in 24*7 work environment where employees are loaded with assignments and have very short deadlines to deliver. In this scenario, lifestyle related diseases are acquired by our employees and majority suffer from the problem of hypertension and anxiety. Shocking reality of today’s world is growing number of deaths and irreparable damages of heart disease. This monstrous disease has engulfed many lives in just a few minutes. According to WHO approximately 17 million people die of CVDs, particularly heart attacks and strokes, every year. Its growing and spreading its tentacles all over the world. One of the reasons is because during the onset of attack it takes few minutes to eat up the entire body and thereby shutting down the body organs. The first symptoms are often the last one leading to sudden death. Overall, millions of people have lost their lives without even knowing what hit them before it is too late. We recently lost our one of the dearest leaders, Mr Harvey Pearson, former CEO of Agilent Technologies, to this dreaded disease (TED., 2012).
One of my team members, Mr. Patrick Green working as software developer in the organisation. While he was approaching home from work, a heart attack struck him down. He reported a heart wrenching pain in his chest and complete breakdown from jaw till hand. This was a wakeup call for me that our employees are vulnerable to many situations like these and it is time to deeply introspect on this subject. In case of Patrick, without warning at the age of 35 he has undergone an open-heart bypass surgery that had left him breathless and exhausted from performing the most ordinary activities. High blood pressure is a life long illness. To keep normal blood pressure patient needs to take medicine every day. Furthermore, to treat hypertension they have to check blood pressure and have to see doctors periodically. It’s like a marathon in our live and not a sprint! It’s not easy to do it alone!
