Creating Engagement-not only for professional go up,even to survive,-the Sharjah Tower fire incident

The Gulf News Reported the  25 storied Al Baker Tower in sharjah on fire at 2.30 am on 24th Jnuary 2012,leaving 125families “homeless”.

On reading to get the real cause of fire,some important points were noted as:

“The last building had a fire alarm and water sprinklers, but they did not work. We cannot know for sure how safe a building can be. It should be the responsibility of the Civil Defence to work quickly in putting out the fire. The damage [in Al Baker Tower] would not have happened if they had doused the fire when it was still on the first five floors”  —-Sharjah fire victim

“Tenants should keep corridors and building exits clear for any incident that might arise from a fire”                                  GULF NEWS

“Drive to educate Sharjah tenants to fight fire hazard” -Awareness will focus on ways to prevent blaze – Published:00:00 Feb:1 ,2012

The first floor under fire is noted by many,who tried to escape,as early as possible,and the fire spread up to the 24 th floor.This is the report from another witness.First of all our negligence {like; barbeque/putting a lighted cigarette,in the balcony ,opening & keeping a window}and lack of awareness may cause  such disasters.Again sensitivity towards the needs of next person  is essential for helping in all ways  not to spread it.Instead of blaming the civil defense,one should think of “what can I do to control the situation,till they come”.

It seems to me as a situation of creating and sustaining engagement. If the vital element of engagement is there as a trait in the group,it would not have spread  up to the 24 th floor.Again the difference between the activity of an engaged employee and a disengaged one  is also played in the  rescue operation.It goes  further still deep to the engagement of workers involved even in the construction of the building.

While a disaster like this happen,somebody has to CREATE  engagement and some has to be deeply engaged with the process of rescue,instead of ,”i have to do something,let me do this”.Also the rescue  team members were  ,if  not engaged employees,not only the building but also the lives of people inside would have been affected,but since the engagement skills were top,they could rescue every one though little savings lost in fire(unavoidable!!).

Means,”because i am on call let me do this”can be the disengaged state of mind in doing it,where as,forgetting the self,acquiring the pleasure of being serviceable at the time of crucial need, explains the engaged state!.Thus  attain the flow state of the activity due to internal driving force of maximum achievement,in being useful when it was essential.If creating &sustaining engagement is so vital  ,not only for professional upheaval but  for our survival &mere existence also at times  ,why not acquire those  skills??
