Businesses have to make their employees happy. In the past, people used to retire from where they were employed, and now they are constantly being renewed and changed. Organizations are renewed. It used to be profit-oriented, now it is customer-oriented, as your customers increase, so does your market share. The new system is customer-oriented instead of profit-oriented.” said.

The concepts of manager instead of management, teamwork instead of individuality, and learning-oriented management instead of efficiency are effective in changing management understandings. Employees are required to be team players.” he said.
