POST 8 - COMPETENCY AT WORK #WriteAPageADay

A Senior Executive in an Office had a few Assistants with him. One of them was a very obedient personality..

Taking every order and attending to the task given to the core and thus delivering what was asked for. But the Chief always used to point out him here and there commenting that he was not up to the mark..

The other Assistants having observed this for a while, felt sorry for their colleague and one fine day, asked the Boss why he was targeting the boy all the time who was really good at work..

The Boss smiled and said,

“My dear Boys! You all very well know that we are into a serious business when we sit here for our work. And here, we are supposed to do not only our work but be constantly aware so that we are not caught in a gullible situation through our own the so called simplicity.. 

That way seen, there is nothing like doing a fixed work and getting away even though it looks simple that way. You should ever remember that the work environment is like a war zone where you are like a warrior. In any war, you always have three most important duties with you at any time..

• You will enter the war area at the right place, in the right time with proper defence with you,
• You will fight out to the level required and finish the task given to you in the earliest time with all vigor

And

• And you will quickly retreat from the area before the enemy tries to spot you and catch you!

In a similar way, in work area too all the while,

• You should be well equipped with all training, information and the right tools before hand as you start the work,
• You should be working with all vigor and finish the task well in time

And

• You should see that the task is delivered into the right hands and all privacy required in this area is taken care in a diplomatic way!

Without these disciplines, if an individual is at his / her work, he / she will quickly be caught off guard and attacked by a few vested interests who are in for grabbing the opportunity and make a hay in the field..

That way, by employing a half competent person like this man who knows only the work but not the rest, the Employer may lose or may land up in problems of strained relations, unnecessary blame or at times may get into few critical issues from which getting out will be a real a problem!
