Are we losing a long term Vision

I had a few interactions a few top officials of two Major MNCs very recently regarding some big purchase for a client of mine. The purchase is a some thing which will come through but may not happen immediately. The moment the people who has to sell things realized that it wont happen this quarter the lost the interest and even stopped engaging the customer. My own experience and experience of a few of my friends confirmed to me that this type of behavior is not an exception but a normal thing. Are we as a generation becoming too short sighted.? Are we just focused on surviving today and not bothered about tomorrow.

Is it true that this is the same thing we are following as a nation , as a community, as a company , as individuals. I don’t see an institution built by us in any capacity in the recent past with a long term vision. Is it because of the consumerism whch ahas taken over our lives ?? Just loud thinking......

  1. I do not think this is a recent happening. This tendency used to there and will continue to be.

    It takes conviction in oneself to be different; determination will follow. Conviction, determination, observation, and perseverance are critical to success.

    I agree that there is visible mediocrity and lethargy even highest echelons in corporate hierarchy. In my observation, it is intentional rather than accidental. It is a lack of application rather than a lack of skills. It is a matter of convenience, riding the wave created by some other leader in the past.

    Well, it happens at the cost of the company. Is any one bothered? Patient is under close medical supervision while admitted into hospital, and under very close monitoring in the ICU. Routine sets in, after being discharged from the hospital. Do we take care even after that? How many of us do strictly follow medical instructions for healthy living? Personal health is one's own priority and responsibility. If that is compromised, there is surprise that organization health is compromised
