The Pareto Principle states, “80% of the success in a group comes from 20% of the members.” And I think that success can change according to the perspectives and people. It is not possible for everyone in a group to contribute equally due to some unequal reasons. Such as, when such a judgment is made directly, only the results of group work are taken into account, that is, certain individuals come to the fore within the group.
Therefore, I disagree with this principle. When we only acknowledge a small percentage as successful, we deny the rest the opportunity to demonstrate their abilities. Instead of viewing it this way, we should consider their contributions to the group efforts, examining who accomplished what. For example, maybe someone did a great and successful job behind the scenes, but that job may not have had a big impact on the outcome of that project. And when you say that only some people strive to achieve success, other people’s motivation will decrease, and if they have done something and no one has noticed it, their desire to strive will decrease, and in the future, they will either not strive to achieve success, or their efforts will decrease compared to before. And I think success can vary from person to person. For example, one person’s understanding of success in the same group may be higher or lower than the success of others in the group. In other words, success depends on how people look at it.
In conclusion, the Pareto Principle idea is unfair and not correct. Success is not the same for every person, and every person’s work is important while doing teamwork. If we only focus on a small group for their success and do not appreciate the others, we can hurt the other people’s motivation and ignore their skills if they do something or not. Success should be seen as teamwork, not a single person, where everyone’s effort is noticed and appreciated, even if the others’ work is small or not easy to see while just looking at the result.
