Your Forced realism and solid execution shall keep you up there in elite class

Bla Bla will not work

A brilliant idea, excellent product and/or service can put you on the excellent map of the competitive world, but only solid execution can keep you up there in elite class.

You have to be able to deliver on your dream and plan. Unfortunately majority of us are not very good at execution and you will agree with me.

You want to stay in execution; you do every bit of business that comes along. You want to keep your dream afloat, you do not care what the neighbors and friends have to say about what you do. You must face the reality and forced realism for that one idea, that one product or service which is going to make your dream into a reality. If we do not work with realism and facts we will realize that still waters run deep.

Throughout history, people have had difficulty in distinguishing reality from illusion. Reality is what happens, whereas illusion is what we would like to happen. Wishful thinking is a well-worn expression. Momentum is still another element: we tend to assume that things keep moving the same direction and pace but reality is different for example. The world now faces a discontinuity of historic proportions, as Nature shows her hand by imposing a new energy and/or environment reality.

Toyota Recall – Cars:The recalls, which span cars manufactured over the last decade, also raise the question of how widespread Toyota’s quality control problems had become in a period of breakneck growth for the company. From 2000 to 2008, its global unit sales grew by more than 50 percent, helping Toyota overtake General Motors as the world’s largest automaker. But even Toyota’s own executives admit the rapid growth may have come at the expense of the company’s once-stellar reputation for quality.

Three separate but related recalls of automobiles by Toyota Motor Corporation occurred at the end of 2009 and start of 2010. The first recall, on November 2, 2009, was to correct a possible incursion of an incorrect or out-of-place front driver's side floor mat into the foot pedal well, which can cause pedal entrapment. The second recall in January 21, 2010, began after some crashes were shown not to have been caused by floor mat incursion. The original action was initiated by Toyota in their Defect Information Report, dated October 5, 2009, amended January 27, 2010. Following the floor mat and accelerator pedal recalls, Toyota also issued a separate recall for hybrid anti-lock brake software in February 2010.

As of January 28, 2010, Toyota had announced recalls of approximately 5.2 million vehicles for the pedal entrapment/floor mat problem, and an additional 2.3 million vehicles for the accelerator pedal problem. Approximately 1.7 million vehicles are subject to both. Certain related Lexus and Pontiac models were also affected. The next day, Toyota widened the recall to include 1.8 million vehicles in Europe and 75,000 in China. By then, the worldwide total number of cars recalled by Toyota stood at 9 million. Sales of multiple recalled models were suspended for several weeks as a result of the accelerator pedal recall, with the vehicles awaiting replacement parts.

Toyota realized the reality and took action to stay in business. While executing your dream and making your dream into a reality, you need to become more realistic by accepting the true facts of a situation, facts of your actions, results of your actions and also sharpen and converge on the actual scenarios, situations and issues. You must learn to accept, acknowledge, recognize and act on the consequences of the reality. Mould the situation towards your goals, plans and schedules on a day to day basis improve your capability and bandwidth to deal with the external environment. This is the only way to face reality and to deal with it.

Your intent, chief purpose and leadership has the capacity to frame plans and to carry them out in the face of all difficulties which means ‘knowing what to do’ and ‘getting things done,’ by persuading others to do what is really expected, despite difficulties, discouragements, hard hurdles and show stoppers. If you try to use human influence strategies and tactics of how to get other people to do what you want, to work better, to be more motivated, to like you and each other- while your character is fundamentally flawed, marked by duplicity and insincerity-then in the long run you cannot be successful.

For example,we believe that we do not need to know the laws that apply to the job we do. If I am a supervisor on a project construction site, why should it be my accountability to know all laws and statutory requirements? Is it not what the legal department is being paid for? But the truth is that it should become part of what a project supervisor must have known. It is the only way for me to execute my job better and to protect my colleagues and myself from violations of the law.

Our duplicity will breed distrust, and everything we do-even using the so-called human relations techniques- will be perceived as manipulative. It simply makes no difference how good the rhetoric is or even how good the practices; if there is less or no trust due to our bad habits, there will be no foundation for our permanent success.

A good winner is one whose thoughts are pure and there is complete harmony in actions, words and deeds. A man who says what he thinks, does what he thinks, is always trusted; that indeed is the man who can lead others.
