Just for Ourselves

We will never receive fortunes for other people's actions as those we also will never get misfortunes because of the actions of others . All matters depend on what we had done in the past. Therefore you should never feel loss for doing good although at that time appeared to be no advantage for us. Never try to do things that will harm others because one day will surely causing misfortune to ourselves.

Kita tak kan pernah menerima keberuntungan karena perbuatan oranglain sebagaimana halnya kitapun tak kan pernah mendapatkan kemalangan karena perbuatan orang lain. Segala hal yang menimpa kita pasti akibat ulah kita sendiri baik yang baru saja kita lakukan ataupun perbuatan kita beberapa waktu yang lalu. Dengan demikian jangan pernah merasa rugi untuk berbuat baik meskipun pada saat itu tampaknya tidak ada untungnya untuk kita. Jangan pernah pula mencoba untuk melakukan hal yang akan merugikan orang lain karena suatu saat kelak pasti akan menyebabkan kemalangan kepada diri sendiri.

Decision

Keputusan
Yang paling penting dari sebuah keputusan adalah asumsi yang digunakan saat keputusan tersebut diambil. Semakin akurat asumsinya maka semakin tepat keputusannya. Mengingat asumsi itu sendiri merupakan sebuah prakiraan maka jangan pernah takut untuk ambil keputusan. Yang paling penting setelah sebuah keputusan diambil adalah 'manaje keputusan tersebut' agar ekses negatifnya tetap dapat kita kontrol. Meskipun demikian agar sejak awal keputusan yang diambil tidak terlalu melenceng maka kualitas asumsi yang digunakan harus cukup baik. Asumsi yang baik dibangun atas dasar data, fakta dan pengalaman yang cukup.

The most important of a decision is an assumption that is used when the decision is taken. The more accurate (assumption ) the more appropriate decision. The assumption itself is a forecast, so it should never be afraid to make decisions. The most important thing after a decision is taken is 'manage the decision' so we can control the negative excess. However in order to make a good decision, the quality of the assumptions should be good enough. A good assumption is built on the basis of the data, facts and sufficient experience.

Performance Appraisal


The basis of employee development is a performance appraisal. Thus the performance appraisal system will greatly affect the quality of employee development. Unfortunately many organizations treat the performance appraisal not as daily activity, but considered as an yearly activity as the basis of compensation/incentive and employee development. Whereas if the performance appraisal is done every time a task accomplished by staff then the strength and weakness of staff will soon be known, so the appropriate development programs will be earlier known.

Assessing the quality of staff's work would be very time-consuming if the Boss should do this by his/herself. Surrendering this task to staff is a good idea, the boss just give the point.

System or People...




There are two approaches that can be selected when an organization wants to get a conducive working environment to achieve the vision and mission. Both approaches are:


  1. implement a rigid system so that anyone who becomes a member of the organization, if not willing to follow the prevailing system should be out of the organization

  2. recruit qualified people so that just by explaining the vision and mission of the organization, each member of organization with their respective capabilities will contribute positively to achieve organizational goals.

The first approach is suitable for manufacturing organizations where the activity was relatively stable (mechanical). As for the organization with more dynamic activities, involving qualified people in the system that is not too stiff would be more appropriate. Nevertheless the best approach is to combine both approaches in accordance with the proportional needs of organizations
