Criteria for Recruitment
(Main criteria for anyone already active in SanibLakas work to be invited to be a member of the Foundation itself:)
....(a) conscious drive, as part of one's personal life mission, to make and maximize all opportunities to study the principle of synergism, and promote a wider awareness and deeper understanding of this principle,
....(b) conscious drive to make and maximize all opportunities to build and strengthen synergies to advance human development and harmony in all circumstances,
....(c) strong personal commitment, sense of responsibility, and sense of efficiency relative to any tasks given and accepted,
....(d) continuing development and sharing of individual skills and knowledge needed for better effectiveness in the service positive goals,
....(e) readiness to be a team player and maximize synergy in all facets for any or all positive efforts, continuing development and application of readiness and ability to unite, network, cooperate and/or team-up with other entities including, and perhaps more so, those who are different in approaches, styles, priorities, capabilities, etc., (fully recognizing that while commonalities act as bonding elements, diversity is a source of dynamism for synergies and is therefore a resource to be valued),
....(f) continuing development and application of readiness and ability to act as living bridges for networking, cooperation and team-ups among diverse groups, whether or not belonging to any of them.Process of Recruitment
Recruitment into this organization is strictly invitational. Any person seeking membership in SanibLakas Foundation shall join the workforce or team in any of the ongoing efforts of SanibLakas or pioneer and build a team in a new area of work, under the supervision of an existing team. Qualification for invitation shall be determined by at least two SanibLakas regular members in good standing who shall have observed and guided the potential recruit vis-a-vis the above criteria in actual work and lifestyle. Actual invitation is done after approval by the Foundation's screening committee, and a nom-transferrable application form is issued. If mutually agreed to by both parties (SanibLakas and the recruit), the swearing-in ceremony is conducted with the following as the text:
The Solemn Pledge
of a Self-Mandated and Teamwork-Oriented
SanibLakas Foundation memberHaving freely adopted as part of my personal life mission the promotion and conscious application of the synergism principle on day-to-day and long-term challenges to advance human development and harmony,
And conscious that synergism is a great magnifier of effectiveness whenever individual and energies are brought together in a working teamwork, with the commonality of intention and commitment as the strong bonding element and diversity as the dynamic factor,
I therefore now freely and solemnly pledge, upon my honor, to be consistent and forthright with my commitment to the SanibLakas mission, to hone my skills and help others do the same with theirs, and to work as a good team player within the synergism-promoting organization of the SanibLakas ng Taongbayan Foundation. This I will do in such areas of work as I am most interested in and/or most appropriate for, and, upon such bases, create and maximize any and all opportunities for building strong synergies within my household, community, grouping, area, nation and global family.
May I be helped and closely guided by the Great Synergy of All Synergies!
Swearing-in is followed by advanced studies on the synergism principle and briefings on organizational matters, including the new member's specific work/team assignment for the immediate period.
