"Nothing is simple unless we try it and practice it". Philosophical but true. But "Everything is simple if you have right people". It's reality.
The hardest
lesson I learnt in the last two days was "For finishing any project
successfully, it's not about intelligent people or talented people. It's all about having people with
PASSION, WILLINGNESS, DEDICATION, CONTROL and PERSUASION". If we have people who have all these five, they should be intelligent and talent. As Sun Tzu said “If
you know about your enemies and yourself, no need to afraid of hundred battles.
You can win 100 battles without a single loss". Like that, "If you
know about your people and the project what you want to do, you will finish 100
projects without any failure".
It is
very difficult to find people with all these five features. Why anyone work for
us? This was the question striking my head again and again for the past two
days. Is it money? Is it recognition? It may be. But, there is something apart
from these two which drives people to work for us. I don't know what is it?
That makes the people to follow you.
A day before, I had a situation during my college fest. I had to conduct a round in an event.
It required minimum 10 people. I made arrangement for 10 people. But,
unfortunately during that day of the fest due to some unavoidable circumstances
6 people were not there. I was hopeless. I didn't have any contingency plans. I
didn't know what to do. I thought that why did I take responsibility for
conducting that event. I just called some of my friends to come and work for
the event. I don't believe that people will come and work for me. But what a
miracle, they came and finished the work what I gave for them. I still don't
understand why did they come? It may be because of the good relationship with
them. The best part was they gave their 100% contribution.
The most
vital part is the people who are with us should understand us and our emotions.
There should not be any attitude clash. Both of their thinking should act
in tandem. If we have right people, even though we get angry them, they won't
reflect back the anger towards us. You receive only positive vibes from them. Right people in the sense means the skills
of the people should correlate with the project skill. Along with it, we need
the five elements that mentioned above.
Another
important thing, there is a vast difference between saying and doing. If you
say in management language, there is a vast difference between planning and
execution. Without planning we can't straightly get into execution part.
Planning is like saying some weird thing we have to do this, that thing. That's
all speaking in air. Sometimes it may like a framework in paper. But if we
started doing those things, they don't align with the plan. There will be a
mismatch. Anyone can plan. At least we can say something like do this, don't do
this. It may fit or may not. Before two days, I was in planning side. This execution part is GOD DAMN TUFF.
My
opinion is a planner may or mayn't be a good executor but an executor will be a good
planner. An executor knows what will go wrong. What you say???????
