How Smart work is better than Hardwork?
It's taking time to understand the situation, and coming out with an
effective
and efficient solution to get more done with less time and effort. As
the Japanese say, "There's always a better way."
One of the most memorable case studies I came across with as I studied
Japanese management at Sophia University in Tokyo was the case of the emptysoap box, which happened in one of Japan's biggest cosmetic companies.
The company received a complaint that a customer had bought a box of soap that was empty.
It immediately isolated the problem to the assembly line,
which transported all the packaged boxes of soap to the delivery department.
For some reason, one soap box went through the assembly line empty.
Management tasked its engineers to solve the problem. Post-haste, the engineers worked hard to devise an X-ray machine with high-resolution monitors manned by two to ensure they were not empty. No doubt, they worked hard and they
worked fast. But a rank-and-file employee that was posed the same problem came out with another solution. He bought a strong industrial electrical
fan and pointed it at the assembly line. He switched the fan on, an as each soap box passed the fan, it simply blew the empty boxes out of the line. Clearly, the engineers worked hard, but the rank-and-file employee
worked smart. So what's better than merely working hard? It's working smart.
Having said that, it is still important to work hard. If you could combine both working hard an working smart, you would possess a major factor toward
success.
