After all Its not Magic...

A magical solution does not exist in Business. If one wants to drive business to make it more productive, one should have willingness to face tough realities and make tough decisions. Manager of the business needs guts to stick to BIG objective and confront other significant problem. Most of the people in the organization are going to have fear for the change, but this should not deceive managers from taking tough decisions. When the leader sticks to the BIG objective then people are bound to have resistance, people may leave organization because of fear.

It’s very important for any company to have people who understands BIG objective and have guts to stick to it. Employees who won’t fit for such culture will leave, shout; either the decision maker has to convince the idea or non fit people will leave the company, but this is the way it is, making organization more productive and developing culture should not be affected by the internal stress, which might not be good but if objective is clear then leader has to take some action to make it work.

There are many reasons why people become cynical in the company and don’t seem eager to take responsibility for the changes. This may be the result of over expectations from employees as well as from management. So to handle such thing leader has to take some creative action. Leader has to consider whether employees are disappointed by management in past, otherwise for new ideas they will not respond.

When the attitude “We are the Bosses and you are the workers” comes then there is direct sense of manipulation in workers and no one likes being manipulated. This tells to employees that, they don’t know anything only the management or bosses know everything, and in actual it is not the case. To understand what the employee must be feeling bosses has to come down and get their hand dirty in the work environment. If leaders take initiative to understand what their employees are going through then there is shift in thinking of employees and leader both. Once this is done then changing strategies, work environment, involving employees in taking some kind of decision can start effortlessly, which in turn leads to improvement in work environment, production capacity of whole unit. I feel this might be the reason in big companies some units perform really well than other units. I.e. some leaders understand this simple point of “Getting hand dirty”.

When every individual start putting efforts to achieve simple BIG objective of the company (as said in “Less is More”), then output of the company is bound to increase and so is the profit. But it is not a magic or an overnight thing; it is building the culture in the company, handling things in better way. It is pure HARD WORK which make things happen.
