The PEPSI way

Here are my suggestions, hints & tips to improve your lot in a world which is going round in more than one way. I am sure you can use some of them for your for your organisation..

PEPSI

Thru my observations, my understanding and my interactions, I have concluded that the PEPSI way is the way to progress. Hold on, I don't mean drinking the cola is going to take you anywhere, definitely not.  But for me PEPSI stands for
Proactive
Effective
Positive
Synergy
Innovative

Be PROACTIVE, not retroactive
Make things happen rather than wait for them to happen
Anticipate and plan for them
Be the initiator, not the responder
Don’t wait for the door to open, jump thru the window
Even in the Bible matt 7.7 says"
“Ask and it will be given to you: seek and you will find; and knock and the door will be opened to you."
Matthew 7:8 says
"For everyone who asks receives; the one who seeks finds; and the one who knocks, the door will be opened(New International Version 2011)

Be EFFECTIVE
Peter Drucker's classic definition comes to mind:
Efficiency is doing things right 
Effectiveness is doing the right things.
A machine programmed incorrectly will produce goods with high efficiency, but are these defective goods any good?
When you are doing something, always ask yourself the question:
Is it going to help someone or am I just doing it for the sake of doing it?
Do I follow the instructions given to me blindly, knowing very well it is not going to get the intended end results or do I question the instructions and make suggestions?

Be POSITIVE
Always be positive & optimistic. Even if you look at a glass as half empty, there is always an opportunity to fill the glass.
Your positivity (if such a word exists) can be infectious and can influence those around you.
Look forward to the future and don't dwell on the past. Your past mistakes will add to your experience and hopefully also ensure that you will not make the same mistake again.

Use SYNERGY
Avoid duplication,
My favourite is cut/copy & paste rather than retyping.
Try and use the existing resources, so as to maximise the output at a lesser cost
Use Management by Exception so as to avoid two people who may be at different hierarchal level doing the same job.
Always remember, the time you save, can be productively used for doing something beneficial. 

Be INNOVATIVE, resourceful and creative.
Think outside the square, try something new, use lateral thinking
Think new ways of using what you already have.
Peter Drucker’s definition is:
 Innovation is the specific instrument of entrepreneurship, the act that endows resources with a new capacity to create wealth.
