For this piece, let’s dig at Stephen Covey’s International Bestseller...
7-Habits of Highly Effective People.
In this selection, he talks about Effectiveness and the Organizational PC.
For him as we agree, “Effectiveness are based on principles, they bring maximum long-term beneficial results possible. They become the basis of a person’s character, creating an empowering center of correct maps from which an individual can effectively solve problems, maximize opportunities, and continually learn and integrate other principles in an upward spiral of growth.”
“True effectiveness lies in the P/PC Balance. P stands for production of desired results, the golden eggs. PC stands for production capability, the ability or asset that produces the golden eggs.”
“This principle can be easily understood by remembering Aesop’s fable of the goose and the golden egg.”
...
“When people fail to respect the P/PC Balance in their use of physical assets in
organizations, they decrease organizational effectiveness and often
leave others with dying geese.
For example, a person in charge of a physical asset, such as a machine,
may be eager to make a good impression on his superiors.
Perhaps the company is in a rapid growth stage and promotions are coming fast.
So he produces at optimum levels – no downtime, no maintenance.
He runs the machine day and night. The production is phenomenal, costs are down,
and profits skyrocket. Within a short time, he’s promoted. Golden eggs!
But suppose you are his successor on the job. You inherit a very sick goose,
a machine that, by this time, is rusted and starts to break down.
You have to invest heavily in downtime and maintenance.
Costs skyrocket; profits nose-dive.
And who gets blamed for the loss of golden eggs? You do.
Your predecessor liquidated the asset, but the accounting system only reported
unit production, costs, and profit.”
Want More Value?
Let's look at this from One of TheGreatLight's Angle…
It's "one way" Scapegoats are Born.
Remember…
Be careful of the job you pick up… you might be inheriting a dying geese.
