The problem with this approach is that reality is the opposite.
Good/best practices are rarely followed, maybe 20% of practitioners actually follow them in any field.
So that means that on a daily basis, about 80% of people need to work in those "broken" environments.
- BjoernKW 4y agoStill, it's the environment that is broken. Hence, it's the environment that needs to be fixed. Having people relocate to another country, because your organization isn't able to fix its own internal problems, means you're simply outsourcing your own costs to your employees.
- oblio 4y agoThat's not how reality works, though. And except for a select few, most people can't bend reality.
- BjoernKW 4y agoGeorge Bernard Shaw comes to mind here: “The reasonable man adapts himself to the world: the unreasonable one persists in trying to adapt the world to himself. Therefore all progress depends on the unreasonable man.” Reality being as it is, is no argument for not trying to be better or improve a situation: Contrary to the Shaw quote above I’d say that simply resigning oneself to reality as it is and therefore precluding better approaches is the unreasonable choice.
