Article - 75 Week 35 Execution - THE REAL DILEMMA

>>
>> Execution means getting things done. Straight and Simple. This skill is an important weapon in the armoury of a manager. Nothing can be accomplished in our world without execution. To understand its true implication, let's watch out on the frequent answers of poor execution,

>> "But … I forgot.."
>> "I told Mr. X and he never called back…."
>> "I'll do it tomorrow…"
>> " Mr. Y refused to accept my instructions…"
>> "I'll surely do it tomorrow.."
>> "I phoned Mr Y and no one picked up the phone.."
>>
>> The list is endless and the implied meaning is of poverty in execution. This is no secret that Indians working on ships are technically and theoretically sound by rote acts on complex rules and regulations. But they are far too unwilling to roll up their sleeves when it comes to execution. This act of procrastination, avoidance, dodging, or even evasion is a manifest poverty of an indispensable soft skill for a manager. It has been observed that all star CEOs are fabulous in execution. And in day to day life we come across ordinary uneducated people who excel in the art of getting things done and highly qualified and trained people who display a manifest poverty of this skill. This may not be the only defining skill for a good manager, because you need many more other skills to excel as a manager in addition to having this skill of execution. But without it, you go no where. The question is why some people are good at it while others just cant get it right? Why some are naturals? The moment they walk in, they get things done effortlessly. And there are the others, who need rigorous training, workshops, motivations, bonuses, and change of responsibilities to just chug along.

>> This skill is a matter of both nature and nurture, and more of the latter. It is a mindset. We are socially and evolutionarily wired to take more and give less. We want to take more salary and do less work. In individuals, where this belief is deeply ingrained, they just can not come up so easily to execute. As a second nature they resist action. They hone a sharp mind that churns out excuses instantly to procrastinate, avoid or evade action. Therefore, such individuals can be effective, if they think through and change their ingrained false belief system. And innate qualities are the strengths on which to build this capability of execution after vanquishing the demon of resistance to action.
