A “Just Cause” is defined as the futuristic vision aimed towards engaging employees of an organization for achievement of fulfillment in their lives.This is solely driven by the sense of meaning in the vision that makes monetary short term benefits insignificant to an employee of an organization.
Needlessly to say taking baby steps towards that vision gives us a sense of fulfillment.This is why the company mission and vision statements should be oriented more towards alignment with a “Just Cause” rather than benefits which can be felt only in the short term.
All great organizations orient their vision and mission statements keeping the long term perspective in mind.

Our human brain is oriented to feel comfortable given a sense of purpose and direction.
Truly great leaders know this scientific fact and hence to lead a “trusting team” they show their team a sense of purpose.
Once our brain understands about a specific purpose and direction , it is creative enough to devise innovative means to reach the destination overcoming obstacles that can come in the way.
The sense of purpose and direction provided separates great leaders from the ordinary “placeholder” leaders.

Modern day instant gratification seems very luring for a Gen X millennial.
In the past ordering a gift and physically receiving it used to take time.Nowadays order something from Amazon and you immediately receive the product.
For watching a blockbuster movie one had to wait for a long while.Nowadays Netflix , youtube.com enable instant gratification.
Even for that matter making friends is so easy courtesy social media e.g. Facebook.
Though instant gratification is something the human race is proud about , this has given rise to a bunch of side effects which are indeed very harmful.
Not getting something instantly can lead to depression , anger and hence the number of suicidal cases , mental ill health cases are on the rise for a modern day millennial.
Though often overlooked , is a serious topic to reflect on.

“Work-life balance has nothing to do with the hours we work or the stress we suffer. It has to do with where we feel safe. If we feel safe at home, but we don’t feel safe at work, then we will suffer what we perceive to be a work-life imbalance.”

“Pilots have their names painted just beneath the canopy of their aircraft. This gives the pilot a sense of ownership for his or her jet. What’s more, like cars, each aircraft has its own personality, so it’s important for a pilot to get to know and love his aircraft.”
