COMMON SENSE

Apply common sense man!!! Annoyed of hearing that from your boss. Hold on!! There is something that you can smile and accept. If you look at the life of great leaders you could notice that they were not the best in any respective area. Then what made them great leaders. Is it common sense, is it the thirst for efficiency or is it their positive approach towards constant improvement. It depends on the industry you are into. Let us segregate things. We will move on to service industry. In service industry it’s the efficiency with which you handle frontline employees lead to the organizational success. Leaders here facilitate the decision making at the frontline level by flattening the organization which considerably reduces the bureaucratic delay. In manufacturing industry, the synchronization with the suppliers, optimization of the inventory, innovation of a product or quality of the product can play as the driving force. A leader here creates a team for product innovation or takes the decision of keeping the supply chain lean and efficient to avoid inventory build up. Hey now wake up and think. Are these decisions making a monopoly of a business analyst, or by a Harvard product? The answer is 'NO'. As we think through we will realize that we all play the role of a silent leader in our every day life. Keeping the monthly expense after a salary cut (financial restructuring), deciding on how to tackle an employee who has put on papers(people management), deciding on a new career offer (takeover scenario), deciding on a new marriage proposal (merger and acquisition), deciding on the new loan plans (future investments) and that goes on. These leaders have just applied it on a bigger picture and they agree that its all COMMON SENSE.
