2. Non-contributors and Contributors
define themselves differently:
Non-contributors :
what they have acquired in life
This is a static identity, based on the past glories or past
failures.
Contributors :
what they will become or accomplish
This is a dynamic identity based on the “being” and
“becoming”.
Such an identity lets you choose to live a better future.
3. Contributors :
• Focus on personal relationships,
values, opinions and interactions.
• Actively strive to connect with
others, create harmony and
cooperate.
• Want to make sure that everyone is
happy and involved.
• Are interested in organizing and
coordinating events, processes and
activities.
• Naturally appreciate others and
want to be appreciated themselves
for their uniqueness and their
effort.
4. Contributors have a deeper and wider
definition of success than Non-
contributors.
Non-contributors - material success,
achievement, external impact, etc.
Contributors- include personal
fulfillment, development of self-esteem,
ongoing development of personal
capabilities, etc.
5. There are two types of Contributors :-
1) Practical Contributors:
Focused on the here and now
See and evaluate situations accurately
Provide for the immediate needs of others
Approach- “Many hands make light work.”
12.3% of the population.
6. 2) Insightful Contributors:
Balance and enhance their Contributor focus by
imagining possibilities for others.
See potential for growth and development
Act as mentors.
Approach- “Two heads are better than one.”
2.5% of the population are of this kind.
8. Contributors ‘make things happen’
plus the ‘right way’ :
Contributors have both human values as well
as functional effectiveness – They get the job
done, but also do it the „right way‟.
What human values do
contributors demonstrate ?
• Trust
• Thinking
• Concern for others
9. A contributor defines himself in terms of
„what he does‟.
So much of life goes in trying to handle the
„what I do‟ dimension, that very little time is
spent in the „who am I‟ dimension of
existence.
10. In any work, the contributor personality seeks to
combine-
Effectiveness :
Performing work activities well.
Achieving the goal.
Human values:
Being ethical.
Demonstrating human concern.
12. Blame game:
The laziest trait of all is never holding
yourself responsible for your actions or the
bad luck that happens to you.
Non- contributor people will always point
the blame elsewhere.
13. Unethical :
Cheating, lying, stealing
All unethical practices, all ways to get out of
making an effort are traits of non contributor.
Missing in action:
Unpunctual, slow, tardy
Lazy, lie a lot, and always have excuses for
not coming on time.
Who are contributors? How are they fundamentally different from non contri in their overall approach to work, towards other human beings and to the society as a whole.
Non contributor eg.- qualifications, position, years of experience etcContributor eg.- capacity to deliver, commitment and ownership of the organization’s purpose.
While Non-contributors define success in terms of material success, achievement, external impact, etc. Contributors are able to deepen and widen this definition of success to include personal fulfillment, development of self-esteem, ongoing development of personal capabilities, etc. Example- Marathon – I want to come first in marahton. Not only I want to come first but also build up my confidence, will-power, and stamina to run such long distances, face the challenges that come up with a positive attitude (without giving up), and beat my previous record.
focused on the here and now, seeing and evaluating situations accurately and providing for the immediate needs of others. They are especially interested in being of service to others in a direct and practical way.
They will look at themselves first and ask "What could I have done differently?"
Unethical :Cheating, lying, stealing are three separate actions but still fall under unethical. All unethical practices, all ways to get out of making an effort are traits of non contributor.Missing in action:Unpunctual, slow, tardy are all words to describe non contributors.They are even lazy, lie a lot, and always have excuses for not coming on time.
