The distance between
the leaders and the average is a constant.
In human
affairs, the distance between the leaders and the average is a constant. If leadership performance is high, the
average will go up. The effective
executive knows that it is easier to raise the performance of one leader than
to raise the performance of the whole mass.
She therefore makes sure that she puts into the leadership position, the
person who has the strength to do the outstanding, the pace-setting job. This always requires focus on the one
strength of a person and the dismissal of the weakness as irrelevant unless
they hamper the full deployment of the available strength.

The combination of commercil, private sector organic premiums of 5000 vatu per mt, combined with VNPF Agri-superannuation accounts creating savings, micro-finance, medial and life insurance for growers will create a strong, positive and organic Agri-business enabling environment for all stakeholders to engage. |
The task of an executive is not to
change human beings. Rather, as the
Bible tells us in the parable of the talents, the task is to multiply the
performance capacity of the whole by putting to use whatever strength, whatever
health, whatever aspiration there is in individuals.
ACTION
POINT: To raise the performance of a business unit, put a strong leader at the
helm.

Effective Executive
