NewsletterMaking leaders a force to reckon with… Emboldening the spirit of leadership is by far the best way to glorify leadership! Leadership is a demanding job. It calls for a concerted effort by the leader to create and innovate continuously. Innovation is at the core of effective leadership. The underlying principle of effective leadership is experimentation. However, not many leaders take up the challenge. Hence the work they do is more like a maintenance job. Today’s competitive world has little or no place for people of the “maintenance” genre. Companies are thirsty for corporate scientists who are constantly trying new and innovative ways of doing business. The risks involved in the process seldom deter them in this effort. Such an ability to take risk improves the chances of success and boosts the confidence levels of employees in their leader.
How Many Hats Do You Wear?
In the technologically bound environment today, access to multiple functions at one time is possible. With cell phones, beepers, laptops and other office gizmos, a manager can take care of more than one area of work.
Unfortunately, multi-tasking goes a long way towards binding people to their desks permanently. The reality is that individuals work day and night for one single employer. With cell phones ringing all night long and messages popping on the computer screen all day, it is difficult to stay away from workplace, even on holidays. Ever seen people work on holidays just so that they can have a relaxing week ahead? It doesn’t work that way. As much as people think that they can schedule their week better if a holiday is sacrificed, it reduces the person’s efficiency levels to a great extent.
Multi-tasking in some ways is not good for an individual’s positive well-being. Stressed out employees have more demands, more options and more health hazards. It is difficult for them to avoid taking work home.
Its hard to maintain a well-balanced life with so many things to do and so little time. Family friendly perks and flexible work options are not a solution to this ‘juggle’ in life. More time for personal life is the answer to this acute corporate problem.
This problem is more evident in smaller organizations where employees wear many hats. Stress in such places is greater among the manager levels than the lower level employees. However, such situations can be avoided by thinking about employees’ personal and professional needs.
