There are many things going on in organizations concurrently and they can t decide everything
on an immediate basis. This is something that leads to a lot of clashes and similar problems.
Sometimes, you want to do something and you can t find the necessary resources that you need
to do it successfully even though you know it s the right thing to do. But you can just take
unplanned initiatives because they are always a disaster. Don t start anything that you have to
struggle with later on. Make sure your business processes are in place and make your systems
work based on those.
Now, certain tasks at hand need talent and skills that are not that easy to find and those take
time to reach that level of experience that some of the jobs might require. That is why asset
making is becoming common now in the organizations. But what kind of assets you should be
making? Is it the technology? Is it the computer systems? But even for these mentioned assets,
you need other assets to make them work. These assets are in terms of people but there is nothing
that you can achieve if you don t have the people in place.
When you have people working for you, you need a leader to guide them and work with them
side by side whenever needed. Leadership plays the key role when you need a culture change in
the organizations. A good leader not only supports his team, he also sets an example by
following in the footsteps of his workforce. He is the one who takes measures to ensure the
success of a reliability program, monitor, and control the performance, and derive that behavioral
change that leads to better results. He is the one who needs to come up with different ideas to
make the best out of an opportunity.
His role isn t just limited to regular compliance. He encourages and supports innovative ideas
and makes sure they are at least given a fair chance. He is always honest with his co-workers and
connects with them at an emotional level as well. It is very important to have open-minded
conversations to build a successful working relationship with the team members with some form
of socialism too. When your co-workers know you are honest with them, they trust you and
when that happens, it is very easy to accomplish even the most difficult of the tasks working
together like a unit.
People aren t always willing to accept change and they will never agree to work on something
they don t want to or are afraid of unless you lead by your actions and not just blur talks. You
need to communicate with them what you have in mind and how it s going to help them achieve
their personal and company s goals. They need to be valued by you and considered for their
suggestions if you are ever going to convince them to do things they don t want to.
