Nature refers to what we see in the physical world which encompasses life in general. It is derived from an ancient word that means birth pertaining perhaps to qualities and characteristics that are intrinsic to living things and other features found in the world. More than geology and wildlife, nature also refers to the way things are and how they change in their own accord.
When we speak of the course of nature, we are referring to how things will proceed in their natural and expected order. This is in effect saying that nature will take its course with or without human intervention. It would appear that nature follows its own laws and will not bow down to human direction forever.
When we allow nature to take its course, we do not intervene. We simply let what ought to happen prevail. Humans allow this usually when they acknowledge the truth that they cannot control nature at all. Any semblance of control over nature is but temporary since the independence of nature from human control soon manifests itself in due time.
When we cut trees to the extremes and suffer flooding after, isn’t that a way that nature says to humans that there are consequences for going against nature. When we dump our garbage in rivers and suffer the stench of ten times more than amount of garbage when the ocean dumps them back, isn’t that a way that nature says that humans deserve what they get?
The philosophy of nature is simple. Every being and thing in this world has a purpose. Humans will be wise to observe and respect everything which they share the world with. Humans should not take offense to nature since there is bound to be retaliation in the natural course of things.

The relationship between management philosophy and how employees perform has long been the subject of study in the quest for finding the right management formula that will bring out the best in company employees. A company’s management philosophy represents its core values within which all members are expected to work and interact with each other. A company philosophy can be formed after carefully examining the goals and objectives of each organizational area to make sure that both are going to the same direction.
Managers can also form their own management philosophy for the purpose of fostering a positive work environment that will allow employees to maximize their potential. This can be a test of the manager’s mettle in laying the foundation for properly motivating employees. The management philosophy has to be communicated effectively to employees to ensure that it will be taken up in the way it was intended.
Companies and managers may have the soundest management philosophy but it will not amount to anything productive unless it is communicated effectively to people affected by it. There is one belief that managers get what they ought to get based on their treatment of their employees. If they treat employees as adults who can handle their work responsibility, chances are that they will get what they expect. Employees generally respond positively to show of confidence from management in their abilities.
It is highly possible that a management philosophy is formed based on experience rather than on academic theories. There is absolutely nothing wrong about this since experience usually determines the applicability of any philosophy. In the work place, there are practical requirements that will be have to be considered because of the unique intricacies inherent in each organization.
A management philosophy is important because it determines whether an employee can seek redress for any perceived unjust treatment specifically on matters not covered by law.
