Process Blankets Provide Comfort

by Rick Baker
On Apr 3, 2012

People gain comfort under discipline.

People gain self-esteem under discipline.

People gain happiness under discipline.

The extent of the gain depends upon application of the discipline. For the gain to be maximized, the discipline must be created with accurate forethought and applied with fairness and top-notch communication.

Successful work environments maintain a fine balance between autonomy and discipline:

  • not too much discipline because that kills enthusiasm
  • not too much autonomy because that creates work-Frankensteins
  • not too little discipline because that raises decision-making confusion
  • not too little autonomy because that fires up the spirit of rebellion

Routine work is most-suited to the discipline of Process Systems. 

Routine work lends itself to the application of blankets of Process Systems.

For routine work, Process blankets provide comfort...and effectiveness...and efficiency.

And, when Process Systems are planned with accurate forethought and applied with fairness and top-notch communication they provide comfort. This comfort allows the building of Good Habits for smooth performance of routine work.

And, this frees up brainpower for creative thinking and innovative work.

“Discipline is method applied to the mind. It produces that calmness which goes with power and happiness. Method is working by rule; discipline is living by rule. But working and living are not separate; they are but two aspects of character, of life.”


James Allen,
‘Foundation Stones to Happiness and Success’, (1913)
