Businessman. (Part 4)"},"content":{"rendered":"<p><span style=\"line-height: 1.5em;\">Thinking like a businessman is a tough ask for most professionals. The training, grooming and experience we gather on the way in our careers, turns us into gentlemen (or &#8216;gentlewomen&#8217;) rather than business owners.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Here\u2019s an important thing I learned about thinking like a businessman.<b><br \/>\n<\/b><\/p>\n<p><b>Learning No: 6<br \/>\n<\/b><em><strong>&#8216;Lalas&#8217; Rule the world<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<p>A \u2018Lala businessman\u2019 is the loose term used in India for a promoter who drives an organization hands on, focused only on profits.<\/p>\n<p>The only thing that matters at the end of the day is whether the business has generated any money or not.<\/p>\n<p>Nobody likes them. Nobody wants to work in such an organization.<\/p>\n<p>The funny thing is that, around the world, every successful organization has some form of a \u2018Lala\u2019 at the top. However professional they may seem, however employee focused they may be, the fact is that it takes a particular line of thought to be able to succeed in business.<\/p>\n<p>The level of sophistication may vary, the method of execution may vary, the kind of processes followed by the organization may vary, but <em>at the core, the thinking is the same.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>&#8216;How can they be the same?&#8217;<\/em> you may ask. Here are a few examples:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong><span style=\"line-height: 1.5em;\">Productivity:<\/span><\/strong>\n<ul>\n<li><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><em>The Corporate:<\/em><\/span> Facebook is killing our employee productivity. Let&#8217;s ask the HR department to \u00a0develop a company policy that prohibits you from logging on to your Facebook account while at work. The repercussions could be disciplinary action, all the way up to termination of the employee\u2019s services.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><em>The &#8216;Lala&#8217;:<\/em><\/span> Facebook is killing my team&#8217;s employee productivity. Let me threaten to throw out anyone, immediately, if I find them using Facebook in office.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li><strong style=\"line-height: 1.5em;\">Performance Tracking:<\/strong>\n<ul>\n<li><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><em>The Corporate:<\/em> <\/span>Let&#8217;s review an employee\u2019s performance over a quarter through a sophisticated performance tracker. Non-performers will be weeded out through a performance appraisal process.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><em>The Lala:<\/em><\/span> I will review the employee\u2019s performance job by job, personally. Non-performers would be fired without any fanfare.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li><strong style=\"line-height: 1.5em;\">Fighting competition:<\/strong>\n<ul>\n<li><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><em>The Corporate:<\/em><\/span> Let me call my lawyers, we need to exploit loopholes in the law to \u2018screw their happiness\u2019.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><em>The Lala:<\/em> <\/span>Let me call my friend, the local police constable, to find a way to \u2018screw their happiness\u2019.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Profit Margins:<\/strong>\n<ul>\n<li><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><em>The Corporate:<\/em><\/span> We need to find a way to increase our profitability by headcount optimization.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><em>The Lala:<\/em><\/span> We need a higher profits. Let&#8217;s throw out the non performers.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Different execution. Same thinking.<\/p>\n<p>If you decide to start off on your own, you would need to think and work like a \u2018Lala\u2019.\u00a0You don&#8217;t need to BE a &#8216;Lala&#8217;. You need to think like one.<\/p>\n<p>Remember, that at the end of the day, the reason you&#8217;re running a business is to make profits. It is not a charity. If people are not performing, they must be pulled up, given an ultimatum and replaced.<\/p>\n<p>You need to realize that in business, personal relationships count for nothing. This is not a popularity contest. Nor is it a means for you to help out someone in need. You cannot compromise your business in order to look good in front of your team or friends.<\/p>\n<p>Your head would need to rule your heart (it\u2019s really tough I promise you) and you would need to have the ability to take cold calculated decisions, even if it makes you appear to be cruel and insensitive.<\/p>\n<p>Your employees would brand you \u2018the scrooge\u2019 in the office\u2026 someone who is obsessed with the profit margin, never satisfied with anything, always demanding more, never happy, always nit-picking and finding fault with them.<\/p>\n<p>You would need to develop the ability to fire people. People, who will probably share their sob stories when you\u2019re firing them, making you feel like a worm for throwing them out.<\/p>\n<p>And you would need to live with that.<\/p>\n<p>If you don&#8217;t think you have it in you to behave like this, then maybe business is not for you.<\/p>\n<p>Stick to your job. You\u2019ll be happier there.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>TO BE CONTINUED\u2026<\/p>\n<p>(This is part 4 of a series of blogs on my learnings as an entrepreneur )<\/p>\n<p>Read\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/digital-banjara.com\/blog\/i-businessman-part-5\/\">Part 5 here<\/a><\/p>\n<p>photo credit: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/chrisjongkind\/4977208933\/\">tokyoform<\/a> via <a href=\"http:\/\/photopin.com\">photopin<\/a> <a href=\"http:\/\/creativecommons.org\/licenses\/by-nc-nd\/2.0\/\">cc<\/a><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><script type=\"text\/javascript\" language=\"javascript\">\/\/ <![CDATA[\nvar aax_size='728x90'; var aax_pubname = 'digitbanja-21'; var aax_src='302';\n\/\/ ]]><\/script><script src=\"http:\/\/c.amazon-adsystem.com\/aax2\/assoc.js\" type=\"text\/javascript\" language=\"javascript\"><\/script><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Thinking like a businessman is a tough ask for most professionals.
