Achieving Short Term Wins

Real transformation always take time to happen in an organization. Usually the complex efforts to change the strategies or business restructuring losing momentum if there are no short term goals to meet in the organization.

Many people (the working staff) of the organization will normally do not look at the higher aims and don’t go for long term benefits unless they see and meet some short successes in their way. Without short term wins, usually too many employees give up or join the resistance in the change process.

Some leaders/entrepreneurs mix this short term win with the hopes for short term wins. Hope is a passive but the real short term is an active process. It is the responsibility of an entrepreneur to not assume that good things will happened or become so caught up with a grand vision that they just forget to worry about the short term benefits for the organization.

This is the reason why most people often complain about the force to produce the short term wins but under the right circumstances that kind of pressure can become a useful element which can lead to a successful change(s) in the organization.

Therefore the entrepreneur must remain committed with the efforts to produce the short term wins which can help not only him/her to implement the changes within the organization but can also be useful in clarifying or reviving the transformational vision.
