Ketika saya bertemu dengan banyak orang di berbagai kesempatan, saya selalu menanyakan apakah mereka percaya “MAGIC” atau dalam berbagai istilah lain seperti: jampi-jampi, jimat, “leu-leu”, dll. Banyak orang selalu tersenyum yang mengandung banyak makna. Kemudian saya selalu bertanya mengapa seseorang yang ke dukun atau tempat-tempat yang dianggap “keramat”, ketika kembali dari dukun sakti yang memberikan “akar kayu dibungkus kain putih/hitam” mereka menjadi termotivasi untuk bekerja giat dan SUCCESS?. Sesungguhnya rahasia SUCCESS mereka itu ada di bawah ini.
Ketika seseorang memutuskan untuk ke dukun sakti, maka PASTI dia memiliki sasaran yang jelas yaitu SUCCESS dalam bidang tertentu, misalnya: SUCCESS dalam bisnis, pendidikan, jabatan, dll. Dalam konteks “MAGIC” modern, maka dikatakan seseorang itu TELAH memiliki GOAL (Sasaran) yang jelas yaitu: SUCCESS. Sasaran yang SMARTER (Specific, Measurable, Achievable/Actionable, Result-oriented, Time-bound, Empowernment, Reward & recognition) ini telah tertanam dalam otak yang akan berubah menjadi perilaku sehari-hari menuju SUCCESS. Apalagi ditambah telah ada “benda sakti” yang menambah MOTIVASI. Sesungguhnya dalam konteks manajemen modern, maka sasaran yang jelas itu berupa GOAL telah MAMPU mengubah MINDSET orang-orang yang memiliki GOAL itu untuk menuju pencapaian sasaran (Goal Achievement) yang disebut SUCCESS.
Meskipun proses menuju GOAL itu tidak langsung tercapai seketika, TETAPI apapun yang tercapai pada saat ini (Current Achievement) meskipun mungkin masih dianggap GAGAL tidak lagi menjadi masalah besar bagi mereka. Karena Mindset untuk mencapai SUCCESS itu telah berubah menjadi perilaku sehari-hari yang disebut sebagai kebiasaan (Habits) apalagi ditambah komitmen yang kuat akan menjadi Karakter (Character) di mana semua upayanya akan diarahkan HANYA menuju kepada SMARTER GOAL itu, Tentu saja dengan cara ini secara otomatis mereka akan selalu meningkatkan berbagai upaya terus-menerus menuju perbaikan yang sering disebut sebagai Continual IMPROVEMENT.
Hal-hal yang dijelaskan di atas ini yang membuat orang-orang yang menggunakan “MAGIC” kuno berupa berbagai benda keramat/sakti atau mereka yang menggunakan “MAGIC” Modern berupa: Mindset, Achievement, Goal, Improvement, Commitment telah membawa mereka berproses setiap hari menuju SUCCESS.
Bukankah SUCCESS itu sendiri memiliki akronim berikut:
- S = SET and SEE our Big Goals (Tetapkan dan Lihatlah selalu pada Sasaran Besar Kita)
- U = UNDERSTAND the Obstacles (Pahami hal-hal yang menjadi hambatan)
- C = CLEAR our mind of Doubt (Bebaskan pikiran Kita dari semua keraguan—hilangkan “waste of thinking”)
- C = CREATE a Positive Mental Picture (Ciptakan suatu gambaran mental yang positif)
- E = Embrace the Challenge (Menyukai tantangan—harus berani menghadapi tantangan atau berani GAGAL)
- S = STAY on Track (Tetap pada jalur yang menuju Sasaran Besar Anda—harus FOCUS: Follow One Course Until SUCCESS)
- S = SHOW the World we Can DO It (Tunjukkan pada dunia bahwa kita mampu melakukan semua itu)
Salam SUCCESS.
VG’s Experience in Implementing Modern “MAGIC” and be SUCCESSFUL
By: Vincent Gaspersz, Lean Six Sigma Master Black Belt
When I met with many people on various occasions, I always asked whether they believed in “MAGIC” or in various other terms such as: spells, amulets, “leu-leu”, etc. Many people always smiled, which could contain many meanings. Then, I always asked why did people who went to a shaman or “sacred” place, when they returned back from the magical shaman who gave “a root wood wrapped in white/black cloth”, they became motivated to work diligently and be SUCCESSFUL? Actually, their secret of SUCCESS is as follows.
When someone decided to go to a magical shaman, then he SURE had a clear goal, which was to be SUCCESSFUL in a particular field, for example: in business, education, position, etc. In the context of modern “MAGIC”, then it is said that someone HAS had a clear GOAL which is: to be SUCCESSFUL. This SMARTER (Specific, Measurable, Achievable/Actionable, Result-oriented, Time-bound, Empowernment, Reward & recognition) Goal has embedded in the brain and will turn into everyday behavior toward SUCCESS. Moreover, there exists a “magical object” that add MOTIVATION. Actually, in the context of modern management, that clear GOAL then has been ABLE to change the MINDSETS of those people who have GOALS toward Goal Achievement that is called SUCCESS.
Although that process towards GOAL is not going to be immediately reached, BUT whatever that has been achieved at this time (Current Achievement), though it may perhaps be still considered FAILURE, it is nonetheless no longer a big problem for them. Because the Mindset to achieve that SUCCESS has transformed into everyday behavior that’s called Habits, which furthermore is added by strong commitment would become Character, it would result in all their efforts would be directed SOLELY toward that SMARTER GOAL. Of course, this way, automatically they would always continuously increase their efforts toward improvement, which is often referred to as Continual IMPROVEMENT.
These things described above that make people who use ancient “MAGIC” in the form of various magical/sacred objects or those who use modern “MAGIC” in the form of: Mindset, Achievement, Goal, Improvement, Commitment, have brought them to proceed everyday toward SUCCESS.
Is not SUCCESS itself have the following acronyms?
- S = SET and SEE our Big Goals
- U = UNDERSTAND the Obstacles
- C = CLEAR our mind of Doubt (eliminate “waste of thinking”)
- C = CREATE a Positive Mental Picture
- E = Embrace the Challenge (must dare to face the challenge or dare to FAIL)
- S = STAY on Track (towards Your Big Goals — must FOCUS: Follow One Course Until SUCCESSFUL)
- S = SHOW the World we Can DO It
Salam SUCCESS.
