Business Ethics

What separates the good from the great?
The 212° concept is one of the most powerful communication ideas that I have experienced in my 30 years as an entrepreneur.
Not long ago, Sam Parker and I wrote the Simple Truths gift book titled 212°: The Extra Degree, and it has been successful beyond my wildest dreams!
If you 're not familiar, here 's the idea:
At 211 degrees...water is hot.
At 212 degrees...it boils.
And with boiling water, comes steam.
And steam can power a locomotive.
And, it 's that one extra degree that...
Makes all the difference.
So many times, in business and in life, it 's that one extra degree of effort that separates the good from the great.
What I love about the 212° idea is that you can use it to fit your own needs. It may be 212° service that you 'd like to reinforce, or 212° attitude, leadership, or quality. Or maybe, you 'll choose to build your entire culture around the 212° concept...to differentiate you from your competition.
The real beauty of 212° is the simplicity of the idea. Once explained...everybody gets it. And once you get it...it 's hard to forget!

A student who treads the path of Truth must, therefore, first equip himself with Sadhana Chatushtaya - the "four means of salvation". They are discrimination,

References: [1] Managerial Effectiveness: Managing the Self and Others : Overview In the past, employees were expected to be efficient in producing the desired results and their efficiency was measured in terms of the outputs delivered relative to the inputs used. Now, the focus has shifted to effectiveness. Effectiveness involves doing the right things, in the right way. Effectiveness is particularly important in the case of managers, as they are responsible for the performance of others. However, effective management starts at a personal level, before moving on to the personnel level. Effective managers are role models for subordinates. They play a vital role in improving the overall effectiveness of the organization. There is a general misconception that managerial effectiveness is an inherent quality that cannot be learnt. However, if effectiveness was something innate, we would not see so many successful managers or successful organizations. The reality is that effectiveness can be learnt, and with practice, be perfected. In short, managers can be trained to be effective. | | There are no specific personality traits common to all successful managers. Some of them are analytical while others are intuitive. Some are good decision-makers, while others are good planners. However, all these managers have one characteristic in common: They are effective in whatever they do and whatever they are. Successful managers may be intelligent, imaginative, and knowledgeable. However, only effectiveness translates this intelligence, imagination, and knowledge into results, and ultimately makes a manager successful. 1] Managerial Effectiveness 2] Stress Management
