Hi friends,I just watched a TED show on "Mumbai Dabbawalas" yesterday and that made me believe that the inspiration can not only come to us from the elite group of personalities such as SRK,J.R.D Tata but also from the everyday sphere of life.
These unnoticeable group of extra-ordinary performers are working in the tiffin business from 1890(so they may not be "angrezo ke zmaane ke jailer" but they are "angrezo ke zmaane ke tiffin suppliers."They are the one who make it possible for an office going person in Mumbai to leave the home at 5 a.m. and still enjoy the taste of home cooked food at the lunch hour.You can judge their efficiency rate by the fact that their error rate is as low as 1 in 16million transactions.They are the only organization in the world which has received the six sigma certification without any application and it shows their success rate till date.
But why are they doing so?They are not earning hefty packages like software engineers as their monthly income is merely Rs5000-6000.Its all because all the members of the organization are showing the trait of "Leading Without A Title" as described by famous success coach ROBIN SHARMA.They take their job as a responsibility without worrying about the returns which they are receiving.There is no dispute in the organization which is proved as there is No-Strike campaign done by this organization till date.Each and every member of the organization considers himself as the CEO of the organization(and most importantly the CEO of his job) and works for its betterment.Imagine if the same group of people were working in a manufacturing firm,what would have been the position of that firm in today's market.
They inspire us to do the best in the role which we are today rather than waiting for promotions or a higher position in the firm.Because if we are good in the role which we are working today we will be noticed for a higher position automatically.But for getting there we need to focus on the present as someone rightly said-"past is history and future is a mystery" so we can't control both.But what we can control is our present and lay a solid foundation for a successful tomorrow.
I hope you all will now work like these dabbawalas and consider your daily tasks as an action of change in the organization you are linked with by leading without a title.
Best of luck
1 life,Rise and Shine.....:)
