LEADER SPEAKS ONLY ONE LANGUAGE: ” RESULT”
In
his times, in all likelihood, no one understood the distinction between
‘efficiency’ and ‘effectiveness’. Both the words for him meant the same
thing i.e doing your work to the best of your abilities and skills
notwithstanding
the results produced by the efforts.
In
today’s times, the distinction is clear. ’Efficiency’ is merely a
process to obtain results which may or may not have much to do with
results. How so ever good and efficient one may be in performing the
processes, he is to be termed as
ineffective if his efforts do not produce the desired/pre -decided
results. In other words, efficiency is a mere tool to achieve the
results and it is only effectiveness that will define the productivity
of the person and the organization
which he works for.
This
is the reason why today’s CEO speaks and understands the language of
results rather than the efforts made in efficient processes.
Cause and
effect scenario
CAUSE
Let
us dwell into why this metamorphosis has taken place in the approach of
the private corporates and even public sector organizations to an
extent.
The
consequence was that markets of all the sectors of the economy opened
up and element of competition started to force the companies to
introduce new products
to withstand the competition.
The emphasis now was not on mere ‘existence’ but ‘continually profitable existence’.
EFFECT
Under
these circumstances, for sheer survival, the corporates have to up
their antenna and the entire focus has to be shifted to customer
satisfaction rather than on human/technological processes alone.
In the current scenario, the manufacturer or
service provider has to structure and orient all business processes with
the single aim of customer satisfaction. The vision and business
strategies of all corporates are therefore, to be geared to fulfill this
aim.
This
also has necessitated a drastic change in the mind-set of the CEOs of
today’s corporate as well as that of the employees. The emphasis now is
on ‘Targets’
and ‘Timely’ completion of the given task and processes, without compromising on quality.
In
the light of this, ’Meritrocracy’ is now the critical element of the
today’s management matrix. The corporates who somehow are not able to
gear themselves to
this are not likely to survive and thrive in this competition driven market.
Conclusion
If
we want to see companies as a developed competing globally with the
best, our CEOs will have to keep themselves fully updated with the
latest management trends, develop new and upgrade their existing skills
to deliver.
Their current ‘Best’ may just not be enough!!

Re: The Celebrity Apprentice Finale
- I really do understand what you are saying, Kevin. I'm complaining because ethics are very important to me. In the real world, I want people on my team who are easy to work with and that I can trust. To me, it's not all about money, but I do understand this is why Piers won.
I feel it's important to find the best LEADER who can still make money. A great leader can inspire people on his/her team to use their creativity and all their assets in a very successful way. A sketchy leader could hinder this process in the long run. For example, Piers and Amarosa could be efficient, but working in a toxic environment with either of them could get to me in the long run!
I like what you said about Carol... she has been my favourite to win for a long time. I would have chosen her for sure! She knew business was business, but she didn't have to be unethical about it. Quite honestly, Trace was not my choice to win, but he was a better option for me than Piers. I'd love to work with Carol any day.
Who would you want to work with?

Hi Tami,
If you ask me, I think Carol vs Piers would've made a more interesting matchup since it'd not only be good vs evil, but a woman vs a man.
But to answer your question about who I would want to work with... I'd say it really depends on the task. For instance, I think...
-Jennie Finch and Lennox Lewis seem like really nice people with laid back personalities and would make great co-workers.
-I could see myself working for Carol or vice versa.
-if I wanted to win on "The Apprentice", I'd pick Piers Morgan for his rolodex and Gene Simmons because he's the ultimate salesperson.
