ANTI MAINSTREAM
I have a three hours competency class today. The class is full with people whom I read the name on the team list but never attend the meeting. Wow.
The facilitator is really attractive, bringing the whole class to laugh that we forgot to yawn. He's a good one.We start talking about competency from the definition. I've been looking up some notes from my university days to catch up. It's been years since I think about practical human resources, right?
After some theories, the facilitator leads to exercise a competency writing. He suggests rounding the core competency as it's the easiest part. Core competency is the competency compulsory to everyone working in this organization. Thus, it's must be based on our vision, mission, and values.
My team leader had been proposing the values to be taken whole fully as our core competency. The problem is the value is cute but not competency. You see, we have values called RAPI which stand for Religious, Accountable, Professional, and Integrity. I refused to put religious as the competency because I think not so religious people can also get the work done. What about the atheist? And how do you supposed to measure religious? My team leader couldn't accept my reason, she even said "then, you are ANTI Mainstream!" Well, excuse me, as I mentioned in the previous post: intelligent people are less likely to conform.
Well, I can see how my team leader came up with that. First, she has no basic knowledge about competency. So, we're roughly being led by a blind person. Great, ha? Second, she can't accept the opinion of people younger than her. I know, what kind of feudalism she living in. When our facilitator leads her to a similar opinion with mine, my team leader ends up saying " I think we shouldn't use religious as a core competency." hahaha. such a laughingstock, right? (or maybe I just can't express it in a way she can understand).
What don't I understand that how people find it so hard to distinguish work life and personality? When I critic someone's work and that person can't take it, he/she always come back to me using my foul personality. Can't we just stick to the job without hurting the feeling? Can't we focus on the wrong behavior without thinking about how dirty mind driving it?
