NHRD Journal - National HRD Network

In PCBL we have been focusing on this through
communication and interaction in various
Forums with the employees and the unions.
We firmly believe that "I am doing my best" or
"I shall try my best" are approaches which do
not lead to excellence in results. These
approaches connote as under :
"I am doing my best"
1. 1.Defensive approach
2. Putting limit on Self Capability
3. Cannot do Better
"I shall try my best"
1. More positive approach
2. Believing in his ability to deliver results
3. Commitment to do best but not sure of results
Success not guaranteed
As against above, the approach of "I have to do
it" and "It will be done" leads to excellence in
operations and a more efficient organization
as follows ~
"I have to do it"
1. Total commitment to achieving
2. Guaranteeing results to himself with no
room for excuses/explanation
3. Ensures stretching of self by unlocking self
potential
4. Not accepting any limit on self capabilities -
full of confidence
Success assured
"It will be Done"
1. An approach of "Nothing is impossible" for
me

2. Boss can delegate fully without need to
monitor
Success assured
Productive organization
The above model was developed in PCBL
during the orientation program in November'06
and thereafter communicated to all managers
through email.
Leadership Challenge is also to build teams
across the organization which believe in
"The greatest pleasure life has to offer is the
satisfaction that follows from - Participating in
difficult and constructive undertaking".
Only if individuals get satisfaction from
participating in difficult and constructive
undertaking would they live, breathe, eat and
sleep with what they are doing because they
have the spirit of "I have to do it" and "It will be
done".
Company Status in July 2007
As mentioned earlier, I joined the company as
Managing Director in July'06 and the
organization went through a radical
transformation and within a Quarter covered
up the substantial gap in profitability and from
Qtr 3 06-07 onwards, the company's
profitability became at par with competitor as
given in figure 2.

PCBL has also embarked upon expansion plans
through Greenfield projects as well as
Brownfield expansion and is now poised to
achieve production level of 450,000 MT by June,
2009 to realize its vision. There is also
substantial improvement in market perception
of PCBL as a reliable and competitive supplier.
