Management Perspective

For years, the leadership is defined as Influence Process. You believe

that whenever you try to influence the thoughts and actions of oth-

ers towards goal accomplishment in either personal or professional

life, you are engaging yourself in Leadership. In recent world, defini-

tion of leadership is the capacity to influence others by unleashing

their power & potential to impact the greater good. With this defini-

tion, just focusing on goal is not enough. The key phrase is “greater

good” --- what is best for all involved.

Leadership should not be done purely on personal gain or goal accomplishment; it should have much higher pur-

pose than that.

It is obvious that profit is legitimate goal to be in business, everyone i.e. stakeholders, top management, customer,

suppliers and community quickly becomes self-serving with the focus on their own agenda and personal enrich-

ment. Employee loyalty and passion often goes out of the window; as the point of work becomes simply to get as

much as you can for as little efforts as possible. Leaders can be successful in the short-term if they emphasize only

on goal accomplishment. Leaders don’t always take moral and job satisfaction into consideration & only results

count. They forget what the point is. In business, this kind of leadership, it is short leap to thinking that the only

reason to be in business is to make money. There is an either / or added to people and results. Leaders falsely be-

lieve that they can’t focus both at the same time.

When we are leading at higher levels, the development of people both customers and employees is of equal im-

portance to performance. As a result, the focus is on the long term results and human satisfaction. Therefore, it is

process of achieving worthwhile results while acting with respect, care, fairness of well-being of all involved. There-

fore, organization mission should be “Unleash the Power & Potential of People and Organizations for greater good”.

Everyone is trained to lead at higher level

Every Organization is led by people leading at higher level

People are motivated to lead at higher level by observing people who lead at higher level

The organization values should be

Ethical – Doing the right thing,

Relationships – Developing mutual trust & respect,

Success – Operating profitable and well run organization

Learning – Always growing, inquiring, and developing

Those who want to lead at higher level NEED to understand what is high performing organization looks like and

what is necessary to create one. In high performing organizations, everyone’s energy is focused not just on one

bottom line but three bottom lines – being the Provider of choice, the Employer of choice and the Investment of

choice. This triple bottom line is the right target and can make difference between mediocrity and greatness. Organ-

ization should realize that their bottom line depends on their Customers, their People, and their Investors.

“Profit is the applause you get for taking care of your customers and creating a motivating environment

for your people”

Leadership Nitin Vaidya - Sr. Vice President, Projects

Provider of Choice:

Competition is fierce as new competitors emerges unexpectedly and customers are more demanding with

more options at their fingertips. They expect to get what they want and when they want. The world has

changed in such way that today buyer and not seller is sitting in driver’s seat. People are realizing that

their organization will go nowhere without loyalty and commitment to their customers.

“If you don’t take care of your Customers, somebody else will”

Employer of Choice:

With highly mobile, competent workers in demand, the employers must find ways to attract and keep

their best people. Today’s employees seek opportunities where they feel like their contributions are val-

ued and rewarded, where they are involved and empowered, can develop Skills, can see advancement

opportunities, and can believe they are making difference. There should be little argument today, if Man-

agers tell that people are most important resource. Some even argue that the Customer should come sec-

ond, because without committed and empowered employees, company can never provide good service.

You can’t treat their people poorly and expect them to treat your customers well.

“People who are treated poorly tend to pass that attitude on to their customers”

Investment of Choice:

Growing requires investment, regardless of whether the company is publicly owned, privately held, gov-

ernment or non-profit organization. All organization requires funding sources, through stock purchase,

loans, grants, or contracts. To be willing to invest, people must believe in organization’s viability and per-

formance over time. They need to have faith in leadership, quality of people, the product and services,

the management practices, and the resilience of the organization. If the financial success is of the organi-

zation is a function of revenue minus expenses, you can become more financially sound by either reduc-

ing cost or increasing revenue. Most of the organization today decide that only way to be financially effec-

tive is to Downsize. There is no doubt that personnel reduction is necessary, yet downsize is energy drain

and by no means the only way to manage costs.

There is a growing realization that another effective way to manage cost is to make all your people your

business partners. When people understand the business realities of how their organization makes and

spends money, they are more apt to roll up their sleeves and help out. These days, many organizations

are responding with open book management that is because they realize the financial benefits that come

from sharing these data.

“If you keep your people well informed and let them use their brains, you will be amazed at how they can

help to manage costs”

High Performing organizations are enterprises that over time, continues to produce outstanding results

with the higher level of human satisfaction and commitment to success.

7 Easy ways to get relief from computer eye strain

Do you spend long hours in front of the computer? If you do, you may be experiencing eye strain on a regular basis. Eye strain is a common problem and is characterized by fatigue, decreased productivity, red eyes and eye twitching. You can get rid of eye strain by making use of any one of these simple tips. 1. Ensure that your workplace has correct lighting Often eye strain occurs as a result of improper lighting. This can be caused by exposure to bright sunlight coming in from the windows and doors or excessively dazzling indoor lights. You can avoid extra lights by keeping blinds or shades closed and by avoiding high-intensity bulbs or fluorescent lights. Alternatively, opting for incandescent or halogen lighting can be beneficial. 2. Minimize glare You can install an anti-glare screen on the monitor of your computer to minimise glare. Keep the windows cov-ered to reduce glare caused by outdoor sources. 3. Modify the display settings of your computer You can modify the display settings of your computer in the following manner to reduce eye strain: • Brightness-Set the brightness of the display to a level, which equals the brightness of your workplace. • Text size and contrast-Modify the text size and contrast according to the comfort level of your eyes. For most people, black text colour on a white background ensures minimum eye strain and maximum convenience. • Colour temperature- The spectrum of visible light, which a colour display usually emits is its colour tempera-ture. Blue light is considered to cause more eye strain. So, you should decrease the colour temperature to mini-mize the amount of blue light emitted by your computer’s display. 4. Try some eye exercises You can practice some easy eye exercises to prevent your eyes from getting tired. Try staring at a distant object for 10-15 seconds and then looking at any nearby object for another 10-15 seconds. Return your gaze to the first object. Repeat 10 times. 5. Opt for some computer eyewear while working Try wearing a pair of computer glasses while working. They ensure that your eyes remain correctly focused on the computer screen, while reducing strain to a minimum. Computer glasses also prove to be very effective in diminishing glare. 6. Take short breaks at regular intervals Apply the 20-20 rule to your work regime. After each 20 minutes of work on the computer, give your eyes a 20 second break by looking away from the screen towards any object located 20 feet away from you. 7. Go for a comprehensive eye exam Make sure that you go for a comprehensive eye exam every year to reduce vision problems caused by comput-ers. This will also help in detecting the root cause behind your problem, so that you can effectively employ cura-
