" The role of managerial perception"

Going back in history and contextualizing the pygmalion effect, Pygmalion was a sculptor from the greek mythology who fell in love with a women painted in one of his own works, known as Galatea -as if she was a woman from the real world- because of his passion for his creations. Galatea who was the love of his dreams and the one who shows to be the perfect women for his life, thanks to the greek goddess aphrodite took own life to do justice to the love pygmalion felt towards his statue.

In a real life example which applies the personal overcoming of pygmalion, of create a well done work exceeding their own expectations to the point of falling in love with his creation Galatea, is in the work environment because the boss constantly has a perception of his peers and co-workers and treated each one of them based in this perception. Although the boss do not always communicate directly this perception he already has to their associates and colleagues, they perceive it the whole time. We can see this very clear inside any type of organizations looking forward to reach a special project or objective, but let contextualize it in a special real case to see it clearly. In the offices of the bank Occidente in different parts of the city, where each one of them has a boss, there is a lot of environmental stress in the employees, thta desmotivates the work teams, they need from their boss to perceive accpetance from he(the boss) and also he should seek for speacial motivations for them to make them feel as part of the body(company or project). If the boss reach this, the employees stop lookinf and felling just as subordinates and begin feeling that they beyond to the company or the project, so they constantly are going to exhibit high performance in their own roles and and began showing greater performance helping to solve problems that can appear to the boss that are not part of their roles but they know how to handle it. Leading at the end woth all of this to reach the anually objectives proposed by the central bank branch(bank occidente), which benefits directly to the head of the body(the boss) and likewise to his team(his employees), then the environment that creates the boss is always so good for them all.
