 I
have immense admiration for lee iacocca, the former Chairman of
Chrysler Corp, who once said, "The kind of people I look for
to fill top management spots are the eager-beavers, the mavericks.
These are the guys who try to do more than they're expected to."
One has to break away from the established
norms, gear up to challenge mediocrity. Employees should be passionate
about every task and goal. Energy begets energy. Every stellar organisation,
every dynamic team functions on energy, passion and the desire to
succeed. A leader should be a never-ending resource of energy. If
one wants to develop a positive, can-do attitude, the leader will
have to set the tone to ensure excellence.
The success of direct selling in Tupperware
is reflective of the entrepreneurial spirit the company has inculcated
in its people. It is a proven fact that direct selling offers tremendous
opportunities to individuals, providing them with avenues to be
masters of their destiny.
Right from its inception in 1996, Tupperware
India has grown exponentially, never shying away from exploring
new business opportunities. This has been possible largely due to
the company's leadership being able to put together a winning team.
For an organisation to evolve into a market leader, it needs to
have in place a team of highly motivated achievers.
To create a winning team, a leader should promote
independent thinking in his people, encourage new ideas, show willingness
to take risks, and inspire excellence and loyalty among his subordinates.
Leaders must never forget the following when they run their organisations:
We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence, then, is not an act, but
a habit.
