Small Tweaks Awesome Results
Balaji Pasumarthy
Liberating Business Leaders from Constraints- so they can be in their flow.
“Why is the Pourakarmika street sweeper putting dust into the broom and she hasn’t started sweeping the streets yet?” Puzzled and curious, my wife Arathi and I inquired. She then explained the reason. The dust, which was dry and quite fine, helped widen the broom, enabling her to sweep more with each stroke. I thought this was brilliant - a small tweak leading to effective work. Another thing I noticed was that she was specifically taking time out to do this. I had taken two rounds of the area, and she was still at it. She understands the value of getting the tools right. It’s like “sharpening the saw,” as Stephen Covey puts it.
Such smart ways of doing work capture my attention. In our mentoring program at Liberated Enterprise Creators, we share numerous effective tools and concepts. These resources assist business leaders in aligning their businesses with their strengths and in fostering highly engaged and productive teams.”
