Synopsis

In this book, Alan Heeks offers a new approach to work, a way for you to increase production whilst renewing your resources and fulfilling yourself in the process. Alan Heeks shows that the key to increasing your output sustainably is to move from a linear mechanistic mindset to a cyclical organic one: working with natural principles, not overriding them. People are an organization's greatest resource. However, just as in nature, these valuable resources are often over-used and depleted in the production process. The linear approach simply uses input to produce desired output, ignoring depletion or pollution caused by the choice of input and any waste by-products of the output. An organic approach chooses and uses resources where there is no waste and every output becomes a future input. "A Natural Advantage" sets out to show how important it is to maintain our human "ground condition" by balancing our physical, emotional, mental and inspirational energy, while demonstrating that adding natural forms of energy to our working life sustains our growth far more than any artificial stimulants can.
