It involves in guiding the activities of the members in appropriate directions. An appropriate direction is any direction that helps the organization moves forward toward goal attainment. It is also a way to inform the organization where you are going, getting in front and keeping your flock on the move. Moreover, optimism and great confidence are deportment being manifested towards the end, success.

 

CEO Gerarld Grinstein of Delta Air Lines is an open minded person. He has this astounding conceptual skill as a manager that allows him to be an effective one. He perseveres in looking backward and forward, as a whole the business he held. The assessment which he thinks of, considering the possible consequences, taking risk and putting action on it is just superficial elements that we can grasp which we presumed more than that he possessed. Acceptance of the reality also has of big help on his failing towards going upward. He managed to settle down the tidal waves he encountered. This manifested that he as manager truly act according to his role, to sustain, to encounter opposition, to experience passion, to make decisions and not just drift with the tide. He dares to make a difference. He did. He learned. He succeeds.  

You cannot control time. But you can control how you plan and budget time by accurately predicting how long this takes. In planning, the team assured that delivering strategic value of time by setting target date for the firm to emerge. Focusing in planning, it serves a great significant role to avoid long and costly litigation of bankruptcy. Knowing how long things take is a skill that will help you take control the business and even your life as well. Moreover, your colleagues and your team will appreciate your ability to set realistic goals – and meet them. Building a dynamic organization is a necessary task. It will focus and commit themselves on the attainment of goals that will lead to organization’s success responsibly. Tasking, giving of information, assigning of roles to be acted upon and even willingness to accept responsibility and accountability are expected and seemed to be good elements that the Delta Air Lines responded to. Its design is made to clarify what to do, who is responsible, which task and who is responsible for the results. The proper adherence of dissemination is much important. This would be done just like Delta Air Lines did in order to renounce obstacles to the performance caused by confusion and uncertainty of assignment and to furnish decision making and communication networks reflecting and supporting organizational objectives. 

Make sure everyone has a map. In mobilizing people, in leading as what the CEO did, it is important that the goal is clear, that the purpose is properly responded upon. If everyone has a map, it doesn’t matter whether or not you get separated. You will still end up at the same destination.

People are free to make vision or minor course changes along the way – they will still end up in the right place. Just like in the case of such, the approach on speed is deliberately presented to the team. The way the CEO led them was very ideal. The unity and the synergy of purpose are being manifested. Self-sacrifice by pay cuts creates and posits solidarity among and between employer and employees. At every level, in this sense, having a map works to guide better business. 

Learning and changing what is usually done, making innovations and dare to make a difference are best assets of mind set that we can possess in controlling the business in her downturn. As Delta Air Lines showed, instead of succumbing, the organization strives hard to bring back the firm in the arena of market in fast speed. The call of changing the approach on that predicament to speed up led the organization to success. Playing their strengths as well as recognizing their weaknesses is a good formula to follow. One added advantage of playing to your strengths is that they are often where their passions lie. Focusing on your passions will help you push through potential barriers and stay energized when things are difficult. And it makes work a lot more fun.
