Roles not Persons Important for Organizations
Today i was thinking about how much the Bil Gates is rich and how it can influence others with his richness. Certainly the persons like him could effect many thousand or would say hundred thousands people. But than i thought people like Tony blair/Bush/Musharraf are not rich like him but their decisions could effect millions of people over the world. So than my thoughts turned towards these decisions makers especially those who are prevailed in the third world countries like Pakistan or so. Where it is often the case a dictator (or at least form of dictatorship) remains in the government. I was thinking that a single thought/decision of such person could influence the thoughts of all the nation or country. Thats why one of the reason democracy is being supported all over the world so that such decisions are monitored and measured by many people not a mere thought of a single person which could disrupt all the balance throughout the world.
If we carefully look over this thought , democracy is another form of delegating the responsibilities to respective persons hence no one is responsible for whole or all of responsible for their own particular actions. Hence if we look into that such managements/establishments depends upon the roles not the persons. hence it is not necessary to that establishment who holds the current position but it is important to them that the roles and responsibilities are being performed perfectly and no one can exceed the boundaries assigned to it.
Therefore, these processes and standard operating procedures (SOP's) are the one which predominantly played an important role in such managements and if we apply the same concept over the software development industry, we can see same principals and results here as well. If some company relies some particular individual to perform their excellent function than expect such organization don't last longer and may result itno collapse at any time. However, if any organization want to stabilize itself , than look into the SOP's of that organization which should be consistent across the organization, if that is the case than expect that organization could produce the results otherwise .......................
