Tag: Will vs Resources

  • “Will” vs “Resources” striking the right balance

    In any game be it life or business “resources” & “will” are the two key components.

    “Resources” is tangible and is the sum total of all financial metrics that measure the health of an organization.

    “Will” is intangible and is sum total of all the human elements that measure the health of an organization.

    Needless to say a short sighted leader focuses on resources over will at the detriment of the overall organizational health.

    Resources cannot be ignored thought since this is what enables an organization to keep playing.

    The need in the modern day organization is to strike a balance between the two so that a focus on “will” empowers the people to generate the “resources” to keep the organization live and kicking.

  • Any game has these two components

    Any game be it finite or infinite has the following two necessary conponents:

    1) Resources & 2) Will

    By resources we mean the sum of all the financial metrics that contribute to the health of an organization.This is tangible & can mean PAT , stock price etc.

    By will we mean sum total of all the human elements that measure the health of an organization.This is intangible and can mean feelings , motivation , commitment etc.

    Whereas finite minded leaders focus on resources at the cost of people , infinite minded leaders invest in people for the betterment of resources.

    Simon Sinek mentions the same in his book titled “The Infinite Game”
