Business behavior

Elze's picture

Business behavior is a code of conduct based on logic, reasonableness and justice. The course of action focuses on verifiable facts and reasonable hypotheses. Openness and honesty is the trademark of business conduct, because only that is verifiable.

However, everyday practice does not appear to be as business-like. Although a part of humanity may on the outside appear as businesslike according to the above definition, on the inside they appear to have an imaginative agenda that is devoid of any kind of logic, reasonableness and justice, not to mention openness and honesty. They mix fact and fantasy in a fantastic way, and often have great success with it too. Until it runs out of the scuppers and it becomes transparent. But even then a considerable number will continue to do so. They openly turn a blind eye to logic, reasonableness and justice and starting with verifiable facts and reasonable hypotheses, and present that as their definition of professionalism: follow your own fantasies as much as possible and become successful with that. For them, logic, reasonableness and justice are not done. Out of fashion. With the consequence that many people follow their example because it appears to be the fastest way to success and also yields a lot of status. With the effect, a world full of imaginative businessmen who become childish when you reject their fantasy world by pointing them to their illogical behavior, as a result of their unreasonable arguments, as a result of their unjust line of thinking. With all its consequences.
