I am contantly hearing in education and in the social work feilds more and more excuses made for under acheivement (in many cases under effort). Self-esteem has been externalized creating a oxymoron out of the term. When one ties their success and value to influences beyond their control, growth is stagnated. This is more prevalent in cultures where workers are seen as “employees” as opposed to organizational team members. Team members tie their succes to organizational growth. Employees are entitled to salary, benifits and promotions on a preordained collective agreement based paradigm.
