The Governing Factors of Survival and Success

The operating conditions of existence, in order from the most dangerous and negative to the most favorable and positive, are given below.

A person, thing, or activity operates, knowingly or unknowingly, under one of the following conditions, states of operation, or governing factors:

The Governing Factors or Conditions are

1) Unawareness, 

2) Betrayal,

3) Frenemy,

4) Uncertainty,

5) Burden,

6) Being Unknown,

7) Perilous Risk,

8) Unforeseen,

9) Stability and Evenness,

10) Onset of Prosperity,

11) Sheer Abundance, and finally

12) Powerful Succession.

These governing factors, operating conditions, or states of a group, a post, or an individual, as determined by production statistics, are further explained below, with the requisite remedial formulas.

Definitions of the Key Terms of the Governing Factors or Conditions.

1. Ethics: “Ethics are the rational actions an individual or group takes upon themselves to accomplish optimum survival for self, others, and life.” Ethics consist of rational actions towards the highest level of survival for the individual, group, and life.

2. Justice is the compilation of laws, regulations, or rules that are created and enforced by a group or society, among others, to hold individuals or groups accountable for violating their own ethical standards. Consequently, these violations result in the infringement of the laws, regulations, or rules of the group or society.

3. Governing Factors or Conditions: A governing factor or condition is the circumstance or state that rules or controls the things or the components of the state someone operates.

4. Formula: A formula is a systematic and sequential combination of things, data, numbers, events, etc., which, when followed in the given steps, leads inevitably to a defined outcome.

5. Statistics: Statistics are the numerical or quantitative representation of something compared to an earlier number or amount of the same thing. In this regard, statistics refer to the quantity of work done or the value of it in money.

6. Post: A post is a name or title given to a set of functions handed over to an employee to perform.

7. Remedial: Remedial means to perform a set of actions or sets of actions to remedy or make something whole, or return something to its original operating condition.

The Governing Factors or Conditions: Description, Definitions, Formulas, and Outcomes.

The only possible way to achieve the goals of any individual, family, group, or society with resulting vigor and resilience, is to have, know, use, and monitor the utilization of the Governing Factors or Conditions management system as presented herein.

This system regulates every aspect of an organization based on production statistics as given above.

Every person who wants higher pay, wealth, peace of mind, an excellent working condition, certainty of employment, and longevity in whatever they aspire will do great to learn and use the Governing Factors or operating conditions system in whatever group or part of a group they manage.

For anyone, manager, parent, or leader who seeks to remove guesswork from their ability to effectively manage, parent, or lead their group or wards, this system is a must-have.

This system provides ways and means of attaining sustainability and resilience and enables users to drive with assured confidence toward their immediate goals and the overall vision for themselves, family, or groups.

Not having, not using, or not enforcing the use of the Governing Factors or Conditions management system only results in a similar outcome as driving a car without a speedometer, temperature gauge, or fuel gauge with one’s eyes shut, and hoping to arrive safely in Beijing from Shanghai.

The basis for recognizing, assigning, and enforcing any governing factor on oneself or anyone within one’s group is the production statistics of that person, section, or group. No one, no matter how highly placed, may assign a condition in the absence of credible and properly graphed statistics, as described herein. Otherwise, unnecessary problems will beset the individual, family, manager, or leader.        

Below are Governing Factors or Conditions and their formulas, starting from the lowest, non-survival level to their highest, thriving states.

Anyone, family, or group that wishes to aspire to greater heights will stand a chance by ensuring they acquire, study, understand, and apply the applicable Governing Factors or Conditions formula 1) to their personal life, 2) their post in any organization, and 3) use to monitor their subordinates.

Determining the Governing Factors or Conditions by Graphing the Statistics

Statistics Definition

A statistic is “a number or amount of something compared to an earlier number or amount of the same thing”.  Statistics refer to the quantity of work done or the value of it in money, time, etc.

1. Up-Statistics

An up-statistic is a statistic that has a higher number than the number of the previous statistic. In other words, there were more sales (200 units) compared to the last week, etc. (120 units). This indicates that the staff member or post has improved performance (up statistic) about their last company statistical period.

2. Down-Statistics

A down-statistic is a statistic that shows a smaller amount than the number of the previous statistic. In other words, there were fewer sales (100 units) compared to the last week, etc. (120 units). This indicates that the staff member or post has worsened performance (down statistic) about their last company statistical period.

3. Negative Statistics

Some indicator items go up in statistics when they are bad, for instance, disbursements from company accounts. The fact that the company has lost money (yes, for the acquisition of valuable things, notwithstanding), will not read well on a normal scaled graph.

Therefore, those performance indicators that are expected to be LOW – such as expenses, costs, complaints, damages, etc. are to be graphed upside down with a higher number of negative values going down and a lower number indicating positive values going up.

Statistical Grading of the Functions of a Post

Every post and staff member must have a graph for each function. This graph must be on an A3 Graph paper and scaled appropriately per the Company Statistical Period; weekly, monthly, quarterly, and annually or as may be required by management or an ethics inspector during an investigation.

This Graph must show HOW MANY of

1. units of production by a post,
2. in number or value terms,
3. in appropriate units,
4. per statistical period; (week, month, quarter, and annual)

The graphed statistics of personnel or a post must obtain the approval of the next higher supervisor or manager before being posted on the company intranet and displayed on a wall in the working area of the staff member.

The statistics of every post in an organ of the company (department, etc.) for a particular statistical period (say, 1 week) add up to an organ’s statistics, and the tendencies of these are produced over the accounting reporting (12-month) period of the company.

Each organ of the group statistics should be based on the key functions of that organ. This shall be displayed on the CIC (Communication Information Center) for all to see and on the wall of the personnel notice board of that unit, section, department, division, and sector.

How to Graph Statistics

1. Graph Definition

A graph is defined as “a line or diagram showing how one quantity depends on, compares with, or changes another quantity. It is a pictorial device used to display numerical relationships.”         

2. Graph Characteristics

Graph Line Changes: A graph with too small graph line changes will not be as informative as a properly scaled graph. It is also not possible to draw the graph at all if the line changes are too large.

If the UPS and DOWNS of a graph are not visible, then those interpreting the graphs will make errors. What is shown as a flat-looking line really might be a mountain range.

3. Graph Scale

A graph scale is “the number of anything per vertical inch of graph”.

Vertical is the up/down line, usually on the left of the graph sheet. It is along this line that the number of things being measured statistically is presented.

The number will range from zero (0) at the bottom left corner to whatever the highest number is at the top right corner.

The horizontal line lists the timeline for the graph, in weeks. 

How to Scale a Graph

To have a real graph scale that shows sensible ups and downs, the following steps should be followed:

1. Determine the lowest amount one expects a particular statistic to go – this is not always zero.

2. Determine the highest amount one expects a particular statistic to go in the next three months.

3. Subtract (1) from (2).

4. Proportion the vertical divisions as per (3) by taking a 10^th of the result to represent each vertical line.

Example:

1. Looking over the old graphs of the past six months, we find income never went below N10.5 million. So, we take N10.0 million as the lowest point of the Income Graph.

2. We estimated we should be able to realize N100.0 million in monthly sales in the next three months, so we take this as the top of the graph paper.

3. We subtract N10.0 million from N110.0 million and we have N100.0m.

4. We take the 100 blocks of the vertical line on the graph sheet and make each one 10, starting with 10 as the lowest value mark.

5. Now we plot income as 10 per graph line division.

The Statistics Graphed

Here are graphical presentations of the several variations, derivations, and behaviors of statistics, representing production or conditions of existence of a particular entity or organization.

These graphed conditions follow in the path of the Conditions of Existence starting from Non-Existence used as an example. The subject of conditions of existence is covered in the next section of this manual.

1. This graphical presentation shows the Conditions of Being Unknown or Non-existent Perilous Risk or Danger, Unforeseen or Emergency, Stability and Evenness or Normal, and Prosperity or Affluence all in one graph.

Usually, one will need some number of periods to determine the actual condition of a post, individual, or company. Using a single statistic scale to determine a condition will be injurious to the post, individual, or company.

However, the post or individual or company on its own must initiate the remedy of a bad condition that shows on a single statistical scale before the bad condition continues into another statistics period.

2. Graphing Statistical Trends

As can be seen from the graphs below, trends are tendencies for a production statistic to move up, stay in the same area, or move downward over a long period.

Even though the statistics graphs started with low production, they gradually or swiftly tend upward, with slight or large ups and downs, until reaching a stellar range that indicates an abundance of production.

1. The first of the three graphs indicated a “Stability and Evenness or Normal Trend”- productions throughout 15 units of the statistical period – weeks.

2. The second graph also shows a “Stability and Evenness or Normal Trend” of productions over 15 weeks, although the statistics vary in range and shape.

3. The third shows a “Prosperity or Affluence” range, going into “sheer abundance or power”. The prosperity or affluence point is from week 6 to week 7 – that sharp increase. The “sheer abundance or power” point is that range after the prosperity or affluence which starts from week 7 and continues to week 15.

A careful study will reveal that the graphs above contained the conditions from “being unknown or non-existent” to “sheer abundance or power”, statistically, as presented graphically.
