That's because many operations leaders ignore one of the most important aspects of operational effectiveness: the human heart.
At some time in every person’s life they have probably imagined themselves starting their own business and becoming wildly successful. For the majority of them it was just a dream and they took no action to pursue it. A likely reason is the realization that starting such a venture takes a large amount of time and risk, not to mention money and sacrifice. For the intrepid few that took the chance of starting a business only a small percentage managed to achieve any measure of success.The question is whether it is smart to start a business in today’s economic environment. The good news is that there will always be a place – in virtually any economy
Reducing costs through wholesale layoffs ostensibly tied to ultimate results provides quick hits on balance sheets, but its clumsy blows can raise hell with operations.
Operational results can be achieved consistently with precision and power not when people are taken out of the organization but instead put back in.
"Putting people in" doesn't mean adding headcount but instead putting people into the mix of vital factors that contribute to operations results — having power with people, not over people.
Just as we're supposed to use only a fraction of our brains' capabilities, so I'm convinced, working with businesses in major industries, that few organizations come close to achieving their potential operational results.

Recently, I read a wonderful quote by William A. Ward, American scholar, author and pastor. Here’s the quote: “Four steps to achievement: Plan purposefully. Prepare prayerfully. Proceed positively. Pursue persistently.”Besides the memorable alliterative nature of the quote, bells went off in my head. To me, the quote epitomized the true meaning of what it takes to have a successful career.Let me explain.First, “Plan purposefully.” How does this apply to your career?You’ve probably heard the statement, “If you don’t know where you’re going, you’ll end up someplace else.” Setting your career direction is the first

Remember that the majority of customers who have a complaint resolved to their satisfaction are more loyal after the event than they ever were before the problem arose.Now don’t use that as an excuse to make a mess of things for every customer. You’ll soon get caught out. But, when things do go wrong, how can you win the customer round?My first story is about my local Sainsbury supermarket.My wife, Maggie, had bought some fruit. But when she got it home we noticed that the grapes looked a bit "manky" and the pineapple was past its sell by date. So I volunteered to take these back to the store.Whenever I take something bac

When we talk about web based solutions in workforce management industry the first is time attendance. Lets walk through a few features of some of the solutions offered in the industry. When an employee submits timesheet on-line the softwares pops up the same in the managers pending approval section to approve or disprove it. The good thing about the system is it has the timesheet description wherein the manager can describe the employees timesheet. With this the request shows the date it was submitted, the total hours worked by the employee. Also it has a date range section where the manager can view a particular employees timesheet from a date range.

Machiavelli emphasized on building a strong organization structure where responsibilities and accountabilities are clearly defined and offender should be dealt with no mercy. As per him an organization or kingdom can be built on the support of either the people or the nobles.“A principality is created either by the people or by the nobles, accordingly as one or other of them has the opportunity; for the nobles, seeing they cannot withstand the people, begin to cry up the reputation of one of themselves, and they make him a prince, so that under his shadow they can give vent to their ambitions. The people, finding they cannot resist the nobles, al

When I speak of the heart, I speak of that intuitive, emotional, feeling aspect of all of us.
No question: It's not just technology and equipment that drives operational success. It's employees. Clearly, they must be skilled and knowledgeable, but they also must be emotionally committed to their work. They must be motivated.
Yet most operational strategies and programs focus on rational not emotional/motivational considerations and so let great opportunities slip away.
To understand how quantum leaps in results can be achieved, far beyond re-engineering's capabilities, let's view operations three big drivers —— cost-reduction, productivity and efficiency — in terms of motivational factors.
