The functioning of the entire ecosystem has a profound insight for the corporate and the HR (Human Resource) function.  All the life forms on earth are classified under the three types viz.,  

 

1. Producers
2. Consumers
3. Decomposers

 

The producers form the group of green plants while the species that are directly and indirectly depending upon the producers are called consumers.  The decomposers are the group that eats and eliminates all the dead matters of producers and consumers in nature. 

 

The question is does producers exist in nature for the consumers or the consumers exist for and because of the producers.  Is decomposers are there because of the above two groups. 

 

Producers exist for themselves, for consumers and because of consumers.  So are the consumers.  The story of decomposers is no way different.  The consumer limits the competition within the producers due to over their population, help in their propagation etc.

 

Within the consumers, the secondary consumers limit the population of the primary consumers by being predators, in order to prevent the over exploitation of the producers.

 

The decomposers decompose the waste matter and convert them as useful matter for the primary producers.   The entire food chain and food web in nature is organized on the principle of ‘you’ exist for ‘yourself’ first and then exist for ‘others’.  

 

Nature has beautifully created two fundamental purposes  for every life form such as

 

1. Individual or self specific
2. For the welfare of the entire nature as whole

 

Nature always favours and facilitates the accomplishment of only the individual or ‘self’ specific purpose first for all the life forms on earth.   Nature knows that if every life form on earth meets its ‘self’ goal and purpose, the welfare of the nature is totally and completely achieved.   

 

The corporate leaders and the HR function must link the corporate goal with the individual goal of every employee only then a total success is possible to establish in the corporate. 

 

But most corporate knows only to demand performance from its employees.  They only want the employees to be either as ‘faithful dogs’ or ‘cart pulling bull’.  Single man run corporate are the one exceptionally nourish and nurture such culture.

 

Unless the ‘self’ purpose of every employee is understood by the corporate, the extraordinary performances cannot be achieved from the employees.  

 

Modern corporate in general are least sensitive towards both the biology as a subject and the products of biology- the employees.   

 

Nature offers its best to meet the self goal of every life form first and thereby it achieves its goal as well – a balanced ecosystem.  Whereas, the most corporate demands from its employees to first fulfill the goal of the corporate.  In most instances, they neglect the ‘self’ goal of the employees.   

 

Corporate leaders must learn the basics of how the ‘structure and function’ of the nature is organized, to guide and govern the corporate to success.
