During the training session for new supervisors, I raisep up the question of what is the biggest chalenge in playing supervisory role? And one of them said that he has not enough skill in operating the machineries in his area that could demotivate him in manage his operators because he was worry if one of his operators would asked him a question such as, “you (the supervisor) tell me to do this and that but can you show me how to do it better?”. That supervisor then asked me back, “what should I answer that question?”, and I replied him back, “what do you think you should?”, my supervisor said, “I have no idea, do you?.” And how can I answer that challenging question?
As a productivity specialist, your main role would not be just a system developer, but an agent of change who change the behaviour of the people within organization. To improve productivity of an organization, you must improve productivity of the people running the systems. And to make them more productive, you must change their behaviour. To change the behaviour, you must change their mindset first, that is why you will find dificulties because changing a mindset is like changing e person’s life. And i’ve seen many of productivity specialists fail due to this reason.
