You just cannot permit slackness and stagnancy to creep in your job. Most people who tend to become despondent with regard to their jobs do so more on account of their inability to perform smartly and not because of incompetence or absence of efforts. It is of importance to remember that while working smartly, you need not sacrifice our principles and values.
Smart work entails being innovative, insightful and creative but without displaying any rigidity of views or stance. You have to be forceful and zestful in all your dealings; and think unconventionally. If you harbour such an outlook, your enthusiasm towards your work will automatically register an upswing. The outcome will be that you will come out with novel ideas and also facilitate good performance by others, thereby leading to increased organisational productivity.
When you ideate new ideas, you make the environment positive and also bring about positive changes in the outlook of others. Take for example how compost is manufactured from leaves and waste. It is nothing but innovation that prompted adoption of this useful project and ushered in immense changes in the lives of many. Likewise, the idea of has gone down well with everybody; the result is a tremendous boost to conservation of water. It may be recollected how ‘gobar-gas’ projects came about to be used in villages and led to savings of people staying in rural areas, besides energy conservation.
Revolutionary ideas apart, concepts that are uniquely innovative may require external assistance too for fructification. There is nothing wrong in organising and attending brainstorming sessions because they to help people to come out with innovative ideas. The good thing about them is that they can be held anywhere, depending upon the number of participants and their appointments. While at the workplace, the participants could be peer groups and subordinates, at home the list could include members of the family, relatives and friends too. Though it may sound unbelievable, such exercises raise the inspiration levels and which per se leads to more ad more innovative ideas. Needless to state, if such ideas are adopted, the organisation stands to gain more than anybody else. An important issue pertinent to this matter is that it needs to be understood that creativity and resourcefulness are not synonymous and that creativity all by itself cannot give rise to positive developments.
Creativity is a two-way endeavour that calls for participation by each and every individual at any workplace. If there is active participation by one and all, increased workplace productivity is automatic. You should keep in mind that the result of all efforts are not always favourable and to find out whether or not they are, you will have to look for some indicators. That means constant monitoring will be inescapable. Should you find that you are running into obstacles, there should be alternative plans for the purpose. Remember that if you seek to be successful in your job, you will have to come to terms with different environmental changes that are impacting workplaces throughout the world. To be able to cope with such changes, there is no way that you can shirk from efforts to stay updated with innovations and technological advancements. If you fail to do so, the system will reject you in due course and you will have to stagnate in your job.
Any person can be innovative. However, you need to put that innovation to good use. This should be done by a display of camaraderie in that issues need to vowed similarly by all members of the team; it is important to ensure that all initiatives taken should be guided by a common desire to accomplish a goal. All stakeholders in a project should remain positive at all times; the foregoing implies being forward-looking and not treating any change with hostility. Any inclination to regard change as negative development should be curbed. It is essential that one understands that while ideas and proposals may be easy to understand, the impact that they will eventually have is always difficult to fathom in advance.
All said and done, the truth of the matter is that innovative ideas of innovative people have dual benefits. They wield a monumental influence on your very existence as also on your capability to attain success. If companies and organisations gain from their employees, the employees per se continue to persist with their career advancement. It will never be the end of the road for them.
