Some Key Points compiled from Sri. Karmayogi’s advice:

Attention to employees:

Attention given to men creates interest in work. He should be considered as a human being more than as an employee. The job he does should result in psychological satisfaction making him desire to have more work. He should find constantly newer skills added to his capacity. His work pattern should include a built-in recreation that prevents accumulation or frustration or tension. His work should help to harness all his energies and give them to the work so that tedium, except the physical part will be minimal. There should be genuine appreciations and psychological recognition of talents when they are found or freshly emerge. Work must help to reveal and develop these talents.

Attention to materials:

When a tool breaks or a machine constantly is need of repair or some item is lost –all these are warnings that one’s attention to these things has not been adequate. Constant use is attention to materials and things. As with living things- so with inanimate objects. Not only our outer handling of them but also thoughts and feeling or unconsciousness we have concerning them affect their performance and life span. It is true from our side that an active concern leads to better handling and maintenance. It is also true that, that concern elicits an active response from the objects themselves. They serve better and even if lost, find their way back to us.

Attention to systems:

Systems of administration, communication, operation, finance etc., are not mere forms. They are formulations of the mind. They express a certain equilibrium which is capable of constant improvement. If one reviews the working of systems, examines the basic principles of their functioning, gives continual attention to their maintenance and perfection, they have a tendency to revel better possibilities for innovation or greater efficiency. When not given regular attention, most systems respond by breaking down partially or completely or some outside elements like government agencies comes drawing attention to the deficiency.

Attention to the unsold stock:

Stagnation in the sale and distribution of the final product results from a mental inertia or hesitation on the part of management to make decisions and execute them in action. This inertia will also express itself in other places, example, backup of work, delay of orders, raw materials, shipments, payments etc. Often a product will accumulate in stock and after initial efforts to move it , it is often ignored or forgotten. The remedy lies in establishing full awareness of the product, of all possible avenues for distribution, removing hesitation and taking active initiative. When proper attention is given and all possibilities are exhausted, even when ones initiative leads only to the movement of a fraction of the quantity, life will respond by attracting buyers for the remainder.
