A human approach to business
In order to succeed, a company must base its actions on rational, structured and pragmatic decisions. Unfortunately pragmatism has often led to the dehumanization of employees, thereafter considered as a work unit, much as machines. Our focus has clearly been on performance, often to the detriment of the well-being of employees. Returning priority to the individual would however undeniably increase performance, as a balanced individual may attain his or her full potential.

A winning mindset
Ignorance or lack of experience may lead to a dangerous lack of self-confidence. In a perilous situation during a mountain expedition, this lack of self-confidence could trigger a panic attack, which is one of the most dangerous and fatal reactions. Panic dispels all rational thought, thereby provoking illogical and irresponsible actions.
Even a limited knowledge of the field may be a great help in preventing panic. In a survival situation, our very first preoccupation should therefore be to retain self-control, as well as sufficient self-confidence to effectively engage in the situation. Our subconscious possesses surprising resources to aid us and reinforce our will to survive. Without it survival is unlikely, which is why it is essential to focus on positive thinking.
Our will to survive is our first defence against the wind, the cold, the humidity and the heat, since it is against ourselves that we must fight, our physical condition, our lack of knowledge and confidence, our fear, and the urge to give in to panic. Once we have secured the will to survive, our principal allies will be our inner strength, our knowledge, our equipment and a positive mindset.
