We all, at one time or the other have wondered what the formula for Success is? In fact, many of us look for ways to achieve Success in one form or the other. What most of us fail to realise is the Power to Succeed is within us all along. None of us are born with fear of failure, but yet as we grow, we develop the fear of failure due to various reasons. We value others opinions and look for external validation in order to proceed with our journey.
As adults we see failures as stumble blocks rather than a stepping stone. All the successful inventors and leaders such as Thomas Edison and Walt Disney wouldn’t have been able to materialise their dreams if they stopped at failure. As a leader we need to be able to accept Course-correction but having the Vision clearly in our mind. One can explore various methods of action plans to achieve the goal. Once the most successful method is adapted, one needs to follow through and with persistency and focus.
Though Agility and Adaptability are crucial we need to evaluate and analyse the outcomes carefully before we decide to change course. Many of us spend our lives looking for the “key to success” like it’s hidden somewhere; like we’re going to find it and if we do, our entire lives will change.
The secret of success is to Have a clear Vision by looking inwards and finding your ‘WHY?’. Set a Goal for yourself. Consistently plan and take actions to align with your Vision. Evaluate your outcomes and do Course-correction if needed. Be ready to adapt to change and be forward thinking in your ideas.
Observe – carefully observe the trends which will impact the industry and in particular the organisation in the future. Always be forward thinking and ask wise questions such as what would happen if….? And how would we change our practices to adapt and excel to these changes.
Think Creatively- record and objectively analysis your observations. Learning what is happening in your industry. Be proactive instead of being reactive which will help to inform the critical steps you need to take. Continuously analyse the patterns of change and create an action plan to adapt to the change.
Change – In today’s environment, the only thing that is constant is change. Hence, we need to have a mindset ready to adapt to change to maximise our productivity. By managing ‘Unexpectedness’, we become more robust and ready for change. Agility is an indispensable trait for a Leader.
Challenge – No organisation can grow without taking calculated risks. Therefore, it is important to be able to conduct effect risk management. Every innovation will have some amount of risk attached to it. To limit the risk of challenging the status quo, we could research the business and social economic environments along with current and future trends. Knowledge is empowering when implementing change in our own business.
Elimination – Achieving change often comes with fear of failure leading to procrastination. It is important to eliminate indecision and inaction to achieve success. We need to consistently be able to create solutions to overcome any setbacks or problems the organisation faces. Although analysis is vital in business, over analysing creates its own pitfalls.
Adapt – In today’s business world, acquiring knowledge and new skills is essential to be able to sustain a professional career or business. Personal development to gain expertise in your chosen field along with the ability to adapt can eliminate self-doubt, enhance self-confidence and increase the chances of success.
Empower – Empower team members and encourage a culture where each team member feels authorised to make the right decision for a client or the organisation at the time it is needed. Although the hierarchy in an organisation has its place, in the modern age each team member should have situational vigilance and the ability to make the right decisions after due consideration. The management framework should seek to develop the quality of the evaluation before a team member decides.
Questioning – As an organisation you should question the current business processes and assumptions. Question those based on past success models. It’s worth asking stakeholders for input and to brainstorm ideas with team members. This can create more forward-thinking business and management models along with leadership.
Growth – The priority of any organisation should be continuous growth. Growth is primarily achieved by diversifying (increasing the range of products and services) or by increasing the client base while still being effective and efficient. Innovation and creative thinking can aid growth. Your organisation’s future is created by the actions you take today. We are in a Global Village and we need to grow globally to succeed!
Act– Finding the why or purpose is crucial to any business. It helps you and the other team members to be motivated and empowered to act. It is important to have a vision and goal for the organisation. Re-evaluating the set of missions to achieve the goal enables quick decision making and the ability to act.

Feeling life is tough at work to just get something completed?
In today’s world we are constantly distracted with emails, texts and instant messages. It is hard to maintain your focus and attention sufficiently to get something done. This impacts your productivity. What should you do about it?
Train your brain to maintain focus and attention and you will be able to get back into your task after an interruption much more quickly. Meditation re-trains the brain to maintain attention. The basic action in meditation is to focus on your breadth and whenever your mind wanders off, to bring it back to your breadth. Just 10 minutes a day can make an appreciable difference.
Practising meditation really will assist with coping with interruptions and getting your attention back on your original task faster. It also helps with managing stress. In the face of stress you will be calmer and handle the situation for a better outcome.

We are all leaders albeit of ourselves, a team or a company. To develop yourself, you need to understand where you and your organisation are now in the range from Crisis Manager to Visionary.
A sense of well-being is aided by knowing and understanding yourself. This includes understanding your psychological needs, how they might fluctuate over time and how they map to your values and behaviours. It is a big subject but I believe understanding why you feel as you do is a good tool for managing yourself. So her goes….
Bringing calmness into your life: team members’ well-being and good mental health are key to a high performing workforce. However, the reality is that many people at work today experience feelings of being overwhelmed, not able to get through their ‘today’s task list’ and worried about keeping on top of everything. Individuals can become anxious Sunday evening as they think about the return to work on Monday.
If you cannot run harder you need to run smarter.
