Cinga ngengqondo yethu njengeofisi kwinkampani enkulu. Icandelo ngalinye lisebenza ngokwahlukeneyo. Kukho icandelo lokukhumbula, icandelo elinceda ngentetho, kunye necandelo lokwenza izigqibo. Kwi-dementia, unxibelelwano phakathi kwezi candelo luyalahleka, kwaye umsebenzi weofisi yonke uba yingxubakaxaka.

Ngenxa yoko , amandla okucinga, inkumbulo, kunye nobuchule bokuqiqa buthathaka kangangokuba abakwazi ukwenza imisebenzi yabo yemihla ngemihla bodwa.
