Efficiency, effectiveness and leadership.

In this week I learned many very interesting and auto-criticizing topics that I believe will work for me in my everyday jobs, and possibly in my future work and public life. In one class we learned about the big and usually unseen difference between being efficient and being effective. One term refers to do any type of job in your life, but doing it in the best way possible, and doing it in a way that you earn time, resources (money, water, food, etc.), and effort, making it possible to do more things with less effort, and earning money in any type of resource and mainly in time, because time= money. The other term refers to do whatever work you want to do and being successful, this term differs from the previous one in the fact that it doesn’t matter how long it takes you to do the job, how hard it is to do it, or how much it costs, you are one hundred percent successful. I consider this terms should not be confused, because being successful is not just doing a task correctly, it is doing it considering all possible aspects that could make it harder to do and control them, so that you can do more tasks, more easily and cheaper. Also this class we learned about leadership, which I completely consider is one of the most important aspects (if not the most) of a company and any type of society. What makes a leader different from any other common person is that people help willingly the proyects and causes of a leader because of the positive authority that a leader has, achieved with values like humility, generosity and intelligence.
