What does this equation in the picture mean?
Let me elaborate it a little,
If any one of the elements out of S, E or A is replaced with ZERO, ultimately, P is going to be ZERO!! Simple math, isn’t it?
But what exactly this mysterious P, S, E and A stand for?
So, here you go…
P- Performance
S- Support
E- Efforts
A- Attitude
Makes scenes?
Perfect blend of support, effort and attitude results into the perfect performance. Absence or deficiency of any one of these elements leads to poor performance which aims at nothing but failure and eventually loss of interest.
When I speak about Support, what I exactly mean is- Money, Material and Emotional support. Who doesn’t need money? Although not every task has to be financially supported, big dreams need big pockets, at least at the individual level. And at organizational level, money (incentives) matters the most. A bad pay will never entertain the employee in the long run. Likewise, material support, such as proper guidance, effective mentorship by leader at work, efficient working goods and supply are also necessary to attain a better performance with desired outcomes.
Emotional support at right time sometimes plays very crucial role in the challenging working environment. Over here, leader has an important duty to play to boost the confidence of the team. Best leaders never let his team fight alone, instead, he joins in and shares the sense of responsibility with the entire team which make the things easier.
Now speaking about Efforts, it has two aspects- Individual efforts and organizational efforts. At individual level, we know what kind of efforts we are putting in, hence, certainly we are totally aware about what could be the possible outcomes. If the organization is giving its 100% to bang on the task, the results entirely depend on employees’ efforts and in that case, employees have no rights to blame the company for the task failure. Best outcome is a product of collaborative efforts of each employee and the concerned organization.
Last but not the least, is our Attitude to perform. We all are always ready to put everything which is needed to achieve our dream success. But the thing which describes our true potential and determines the quality of outcomes is our attitude. Nobody on this planet can rule over your attitude unless you willingly giveaway all the controls.
However, while working in an organization, being surrounded by people possessing different attitudes, leader plays a very important role in positively reshaping those scattered attitudes. Best leader resonates his positive attitude in his team members which makes the working environment productive and like-minded.
I personally follow this me-made equation for giving my best performance in whatever task I wish to succeed. I hope it would be helpful for my connections as well…
