Why We Fear of Failure?

2012-01-23T01:00:00.000-08:00

We can not turn a blind eye on the number of failures that occur in our midst. Starting from the defeat in the sport of soccer, badminton, until the performance of institutions whose work has not yet been proven success. There are also failures that cause not only significant financial losses, but also the loss of life, such as the bridge collapsed. It is more dangerous even if the impact of failure can not be calculated until the loss financially, but the damage was so real, like the proliferation of corruption up to the younger generation, or the erosion of moral and character education.

With the onslaught of social media today, diatribe when a failure occurs often makes us shudder. Apart from the large-small losses, comments that "sadistic" immediately strikes offender who is in fact doing wrong or stupid. At the company, even within the family had this happen. There are parents who directly punishes children who scored poorly on exams, tests, or pe-ernya. There is also a boss who immediately rewarding errors or omissions with insults, so the actors as if not given a breath, either to give testimony or to defend themselves.

Severity of the penalties for failure to cause the failure can be considered something that is allergic, should not be happening, should not even exist. No wonder we see the flourishing of defensiveness. Once there are symptoms in the direction of failure, individuals have pairs of horses, ready with his index finger to blame someone else. It could also, he racked his brain to theorize at length, removing all the moves analysis, which is important, regardless of the spotlight himself, let alone bear responsibility for the consequences.

Habits to avoid this failure in addition to causing stress, it also eliminates half the opportunity to learn. However, if you think about it, could we learn from the success of it? When we are experiencing a great success, do not we tend not to learn from the situation? We rarely analyze "why the success of this happening?", "What is the dominant factor?", "What actions can we take that success over and over?", Or, "Is it just luck alone?" Meanwhile, if a failure occurs, from laymen to experts, will exert all effort to analyze the cause. Individuals who are wise will immediately think of solutions and corrective actions. So, why are we so afraid of failure?

Approach the failure
The parties in the company's success has been our usual experience. Instead, have we examine how firms respond to failure? Microsoft, the super-company, often "celebrate" a failure, even called a few failures as a "glorious failures". They very clearly understand the source of failure and makes the failure as a springboard to do a "breakthrough".

Actually, even in Parliament itself, we see there is the "hearing" or "hearings" are intended to "hear" what, how, why an event happened, and what is the solution. Thus, the slogan "learning from failure" really we must learn again. The term "success by failure" does exist and is a reality.

A company, even daring to make a "hall of failure" and not "hall of fame" as usual. The background of these companies are very clear thinking. Companies strive for the employees believe that failure is part of the company that wants employees willing to take risks and not haunted by the fear of failure. The company even instructed to include the story of failure and what is learned from these failures, equipped with the signature in question. There are individuals who wrote in the "hall of failure" by saying that after 7 years of trying, he stopped learning to play the violin. "Lesson learned" that he conveyed was that "I would not care about the opinion of people that I could not play music".

This statement, though seemingly irrelevant to the company's business processes, actually instill courage in the individual mentally to be ready to face adversity in any situation. Corporate leaders even said "We do not just Encourage risk-taking at our offices: We demand failure". Progress, innovation, and success is actually easier to learn from the mistakes here and there. Things like this is useful if only our approach to the error is positive, profound, and occupied.

Culture "strongly - weak!"
Developing culture-conscious weaknesses and make the "lessons learnt" as a strength, we can clearly see the sportsman. Rarely sports champions do not learn their weaknesses. Such individuals, grow into a more grounded, critical, fair, and honest, and can see that the reality is painful, but healing will lead to success. Failure should not be something we ratapi, but a way for us to also understand where our strengths, and how failure can be a momentum to bring about improvements.

In a society in which individual diversity is not easily controlled, we do need a leader who exemplifies the attitude of learning from failure, even bringing a failure as a means to develop "trust". We can learn from Japanese and Chinese state leaders when facing a disaster. People immediately have a high respect for the leadership crisis terhadapi way. When faced with an interview, failure that we experienced was in fact not only have to be hidden. If we can discuss how attitudes and "action" us to "bounce back", this could even be our added value.

From Worker Parking So Squire Furniture

2011-03-25T22:24:00.000-07:00

Dalyono (30) make the stunned participants limited discussion of entrepreneurship in Central Soedjatmoko, Solo, Central Java, the end of 2010. He went into self-employed from all-zero: zero capital, zero connections, and zero skill. Three years after a falling-up, business, Mataram Batik Furniture furniture, even to survive.

"I come from a poor family in the village of Kalimundu, Gadingharjo, Bantul, Yogyakarta. My father was a farmer, yutun, uneducated, no rice, just telling people to rely on. I know why my parents are poor. We are sorry for stupid."

Conditions that strengthen the determination eldest of two siblings. "I had to learn, not be tired of learning." However, learning without the cost? "Ah, that's nonsense."

Be a partner-Boniyem Ngadiman this since junior high school to learn and earn money by selling anything. When go to school in high school 17 Bantul, he also sells chicken. It works while learning because less time studying than working hours.

Initially, Dalyono not know that is the essence of entrepreneurship, tips and skills that educated people then talked about lately. "There's no way I was a student, costs nothing. Once graduating from high school, I went to Jakarta. I think, be a successful person must go to Jakarta, "said the man was to Jakarta armed with 25 pounds of rice and a little money. He sells chickens in the capital.

Money was gone within a week. There was no lift, he slept under a bridge in the area of Penjaringan. For everyday eating, he became a parking. He lived in Jakarta terlunta-lunta about seven months.

Dalyono got sick, but he refused to return to Yogyakarta. The reason, embarrassed because they have not able to send money back home. He was not brought to Bantul, but entered into the Children's Social Development Youth in Sleman. Almost a year in nursing, she was then employed at the drawing Summer Gallery, furniture companies.

Moving around

By the boss, Dalyono considered can not draw. He then moved to work from one company to another over the past five years.

Although sedentary work, he still worked at the company that the scope of its furniture. "In many companies, I trained in the discipline, interest in learning even grow again," he said.

He then determined to have a furniture company. Furniture business pioneered and developed gradually. In fact, the company also became one of the first suppliers assume Dalyono boss can not draw.

One time he met Ir Ciputra, entrepreneurs who have an obsession entrepreneurship as a key advancement of the nation. At that time, a champion of community empowerment Dalyono because 25 youths who dibinanya passing Mataram Furniture furniture business. They are friends in his village, Kalimundu.

Initially a bit difficult because generally they do not background carpenter. Thanks to his hard efforts, Dalyono was selected as a national pioneer youth. He is considered to participate empower the poor.

Bantul Regent (then) last Idham Dalyono finance to join management courses at the Graduate University of Gadjah Mada (UGM) in cooperation with educational institutions Ciputra Development and UGM. "I learned firsthand how to change the 'junk' into 'gold'," he said.

After entrepreneurship courses at GMU, Dalyono developing product innovations. End of May 2006, she discovered batik furniture innovation. With it, he can follow through to overseas exhibitions.

All the success that makes Dalyono thought for his life is also useful for other people. So, besides seeking batik furniture that employ 160 people in various cities as a supplier of furniture (among others Jepara, Waterford, and Sukoharjo), he collaborated with the University of Ciputra Entrepreneurship in Jakarta seeking five courses and training institutions.

The business is now growing again with a microfinance institution. The agency also received help from the government amounting to Rp 250 million, in addition to assistance from the Ministry of Youth and Sports.

Export Consumption

Classrooms arranged in such a way as to deserve the office until the space to create batik designs with a number of student employees assisted the Indonesian Art Institute Yogyakarta.

"The soul was formed through the entrepreneurial willingness to keep learning and always keen to see the opportunities," said the man who was born June 20, 1980 which has been proven that a business can be created with a willingness to learn though someone start everything from zero: zero capital, zero relation, zero education , and zero skill.

Man is the Most Important Asset

2011-03-21T01:31:00.000-07:00

"If You Want one year of prosperity, grow grain. If You Want ten years of prosperity, grow trees. If You Want One Hundred years of prosperity, grow people "(Chinese proverb)

If race was a cliche sentence carried out, the following are candidates for the winner: "What never changes is change itself," and this is my favorite, "Man we are the most important asset for the company." Cliche statement is always believed to be true, but its application often overlooked.

A textile company that has gone public never wrote the phrase "human beings we are ..." in its annual report, although almost never invest in the development of Human Resources (HR).

The positive impact of human resource management on business growth is indisputable. A major director and owner Sebuat leading retail company in Indonesia which has grown nearly tenfold in the last eight years stated that the current determinants and also the main obstacle to growth is human.

In the book HR Scorecard (2001) written by Professor Dave Ulrich, a management guru from the University of Michigan, explained the fact that research results show that, on average, companies that have good HR practices have sales per employee four times higher and market-to-book value three times greater than companies that are less professional in human resources management.

Management of human resources professionals are not the responsibility of human resources section or division solely, but it is the responsibility of the CEO, Directors, and all lines or sections within the company. In the book HR Champions (1996) and HR Value Proposition (2005) which is a book of guidance for HR practitioners throughout the world today, Dave Ulrich's HR management roles split into several parts.

Studies of the hundreds of best practice indicates that the Employee Champion role to encourage employees to be motivated and have the competence to work with a productive day-to-day is precisely the responsibility of the employer in question, not solely the role of the HR Division.

HR Champions concept has inspired many companies in Indonesia in managing human resources. Advice from Dave Ulrich's HR division for moving from experts in the field of administration (Administrative Expert) and move into the Strategic Partner has prompted a variety of restructuring.

A consumer goods company outsource the payment of his salary to create more time for HR to think and perform more strategic activities. A bank formed Organization Development division to perform the role of Strategic Partner (such as communications vision, mission and values of corporate culture or organizational restructuring based on changes in corporate strategy). Basically, the division of human resources task force was asked to see the business and operations as 'customers' HR.

But the evolution of HR management is not over. A few months ago, Dave Ulrich asked me to review the draft of his article that has not been published (and will be the topic of his seminar visit to Indonesia in April next year.)

Latest thinking in this article is very provocative and will change the trend of human resources in the future. No longer just be a Strategic Partner for internal business unit within the company, in the future, the HR Division should analyze the context of the external environment where the organization is located. And HR must be able to create value for external stakeholders: customers, communities, and shareholders.

Technological environment changes, for example, can alter human resource recruitment strategies from print-media oriented toward on-line and network media. Technological advances can also encourage the implementation of flexi-hours of work. Green trend to encourage human resource policies that reduce carbon footprint. In other words, STEPED analysis (Social, Technology, Economy, Political, Environment, and Demography) is no longer just the domain of business units, but also the responsibility of the HR Division.

By proactive, human resource management needs to adapt to external factors the organization so that it becomes one of competitive advantage in adding value directly to external stakeholders.

External customers can be involved in determining the competency criteria talent who will be recruited, even also involved in providing training to employees. With the initiative of the HR Division, a manufacturer of children's toys involve employees and their families to visit schools around environmental company to paint and renovate classroom learning. Employees who are involved feel the work-life balance, relationships with surrounding communities for the better, and become more positive corporate reputation.

To successfully run this new role of human resources, organizations need to have a human resources management system that develops the individual, organizational, and leadership. Feels beratkah? Sustainable competitive advantage is hard to imitate advantage. One way is to apply human resource management system that continues to evolve. It is true, that never changes is change itself!

Not only as collectibles, knives made by letter Ketut also booked for a lot of souvenirs, addressed to special guests.

However, due to limited stock, not all orders can be fulfilled. Understandably, in a month he was only able to get three knives antique letter only.

There are about 20 kinds of shapes, ranging in size from 25 centimeters tall with a diameter of 12 centimeters to 45 centimeters tall with a diameter of 40 centimeters.

Recycled goods was painted and given a picture, among other flowers to typical Dayak motif. Apart from flower vases, Iskandar also try to make other products in the form of natural or artificial stone which is called marmo. Marmo usually affixed to the walls of the house as a mere ornament or to coat the floor such as tile.

By Iskandar, the products are sold starting from Rp 25,000 per piece for flower vases and Rp 175,000 per square meter for marmo. In addition to the market, it sold its products to local government offices and exhibition. "So far the new marketing to Samarinda, Bontang, Sanggata, and Tenggarong. That percentage is even larger vase, "he said.

Method for making la vase Iskandar is quite simple. The plastic waste that has accumulated until it's cooked into a paste. After that the paste is poured into the mold made of cement. Once hardened, a new mold to be released later have to be final. To smooth the sandpaper and resins used to close the pores.

All plastic waste melting process takes advantage of manual equipment in the form of a gas stove and pans 18 inches in diameter. There are four sets of gas stove in the garage Iskandar. How to melt the plastic was quite brief. To melt a plastic pan takes about 20 minutes, while for the process of formation takes 10 minutes.

Plastic waste of different types were previously divided into three parts, namely solid plastic, such as oil bottle, soft plastics, such as mineral water bottles, and plastic-coated foil, such as snack packs. After that rubbish that has a cavity, such as lubricating oil bottle, cut into small pieces so as not to take place.

"Of the three sections of plastic is then mixed with a certain ratio. This comparison is important enough to be mixed with a good plastic and hardened. For, if most of the solid waste, will not be so, "he said.

For once the process of smelting, Iskandar can spend 150-200 pounds depending on the supply of plastic waste. Of that number about 300 vases created with the details of a flower vase need 0.5 kilograms of raw material waste.

Admittedly, the availability of plastic waste into one of the obstacles faced. Balikpapan City is quite small, with the number of residents who are not too large, making the waste generated is still limited. Therefore, Alexander tried to embrace the strategy by housewives and scavengers as the main supplier of raw materials.

Iskandar also socialize to residents in the Village Sumberejo-region where he lived, about the importance of plastic waste. Citizens reminded to vote and collect rubbish that can still be used. Collected waste is delivered to homes Iskandar. As a form of reward and motivate people, Iskandar pay Rp 1,000 for every kilogram of waste.

"Previously, I only buy junk for Rp 500 per kilogram from residents in the city and Rp 1,000 for residents who are on the seafront. The goal is that citizens do not throw garbage into the sea. However, in its development, residents who are in town less motivated to collect garbage. Finally, since one year ago the price is comparable, "he said.

In addition to raw materials, other constraints faced by Iskandar is the lack of equipment. With the equipment available today obviously the product is still limited. Therefore, numerous attempts have been made to achieve greater business with the tools manufacturer, one of which makes the business entity into CV Prima Executive with a view to strengthening the position when there are third parties who want to work together.

Recycle waste into new products not only be a solution to create new jobs because Iskandar already has six employees. More than that, making recycled products is an effort to conserve the environment.

Success Brave, Brave ACTION!

2010-12-21T00:14:00.000-08:00

When I wrote on facebook page jokosusilo.com "All success begins with the courage to start", Mas Ahmad Ghufron commented: hard to educate for so brave, gmn ya how to always dare ..?

I try to convey what was in my mind about courage ACTION. Because of the courage to do the ACTION is the beginning of the success that you desire. Approximately when someone asked why someone afraid to start an Internet business?

Perhaps the cause can be due to

* This new. Want to run an Internet business in a completely new can be so frightening. Especially if there is no place to ask.
* Confused. Be confused because they do not know where to start internet business, or it could be confused because of the large business bid on the internet. On the internet there are lots of ways to make money from the internet, that confusion can be overcome only if you have the right internet business guide.
* No experience. Anyone without experience was not initially sure. :) Therefore we need to do it let experienced. But let me not get lost in the wilds of the internet, good appropriate business follow the guidelines. The aim is also to be more effective and rapid learning. If you do not know how blogging for example, simply follow the formula Secret Blogging.

There is one cause in accordance with your condition?

Relax ... all the causes of the above easily disappear if you have the capital and the spirit of burning enthusiasm for building an Internet business. That you still have aspirations to be your own boss. With the ability, expertise, or strengths you have, you get an Internet business that ensures the future of your life onwards.

If you still have that spirit, trust me you will be more confident running an Internet business.

If only technical problem need not worry. For example, how to make a banner, how to make ebook covers, how to create information products, and other technical matters, all of it VERY CAN be learned.

But if you had absolutely no passion, no enthusiasm, even with great technical ability, the desire to establish an Internet business it may not yet thoughts. Even if there may be a shadow, but it may not yet clear when it will be in the ACTION.

Back to the question mas Ahmad Gufron, how to always be brave?

These three tips to become more daring in any situation and at any time.

* Just do it. No need too much thinking. More and more thinkers will only delay your ACTION. Just do it!
* Enjoy alone. What would you do, do it with enjoy. If you enjoy, be easy for you to do it.
* Many ACTION better. the more often you practice, the more often you practice what you learn, it fosters your confidence. So you get used to and dare to do it.
