Interlude in performance levels


Generating high revenues and high incomes are the core aims of any business or an organization because these organizations have this kind of Business Model. Even though strategies and plans are made at almost every quarter meetings & even reviews are done, but still there exists a gap in terms of setting up right strategies and further that goes even beyond the setting up of those strategies is their right implementation. YOUR PEOPLE ARE YOUR BUSINESS. One cannot forget this fact that no matter what more than your strategy , or your marketing plan, IT system , finance department, management information system all put together cannot make that difference which even people in organization can make.


 The people are considered to be the key for success. So to transform business, its essential to transform your people.
So the need of hour in order to cover this interlude is to take personal responsibility for their own performance, as well that of overall work. Once the people in organization engage in doing this, probably the levels of performance can be much higher and even productivity levels would be higher. The gap had been found in organizations due to various reasons. Having said that few of them are as given below-
ü The organizations rarely track the performance against the top priority goals which had been set.
ü Miscommunication within the organization.
ü Lack of follow ups.
ü Performance bottlenecks are not visible to top management in various situations.
ü Strategy & top priority needs do not match on the same wavelength.

The issues like how well team communicates, aligns around the top initiatives, creates short term & long term plans & hold themselves accountable for results matters a lot. The biggest disparity lies in lack of right delivery of message to people. They are hardly aware of what is expected out of them. Moreover its really painful to see at times that people do not have clarity in terms of the roles assigned to them. Job responsibility comes later; people are not even clear about their job roles. This discrepancy is not because the middle management or lower management people are not willing to work, but it is probably because the higher management hardly takes time out to discuss with its people about the difficulties they are facing.

It essential to have clear & defined roles for each employee in an organization & hence then we can expect higher productivity. Problems are endless, but if we carefully analyze this interlude & try to find out the solutions then success may not be far and even organizations can reach their goals in short span of time. All that is needed is to keep a right track of things to have them moving on a right track.
