The Spirit of an Organization

It’s the abilities, not the disabilities, that count.

Scribble:
From my past, I have learnt that even 2 hours per day spent doing the really important tasks is enough to get the job done. The only reason I have been able to carry on with workosaur.com as a one-person business is because I have focused on what is absolutely essential. I make good use of the time at my disposal. Had I been thinking that there are a 100 other things that I could have done with a larger team size, I would have failed. Self-pity is for losers.

The Function of Management Is to Produce Results

Above all management is responsible for producing results.

Scribble:
The title of this lesson says it all. Though one tends to look at results inside-out, it is also important to look at results outside-in. My audience does not come to because I earn profits. They come to me because my product/service serves a particular purpose in their life. That is the outside-in result which should then lead to economic benefits.

Society of Performing Organizations

By their fruits ye shall know them.

Scribble:
Workosaur.com does not exist for its own sake or because it can make money. It serves a function to the society i.e. it exists only because it helps people find jobs.

Profit’s Function

Today’s profitable business will become tomorrow’s white elephant.

Scribble:
Innovate. And always watch out for opportunities to reinvent existing businesses – like what Google has done with the browser and with Gmail and with Wave.
