Tightrope walk

At the higher echelons of the management pyramid, one needs to walk on such a thin , delicate rope at times that the belief in yourself has to be infinite %.The situations around you are pressing, the global economy depressing, the inflations going through the roof. On one hand we have the trusted set of people who along with you put their best to create a platform strong enough to see a good positive scene.On the other hand we have the accounts wizardry that just doesn't seem to allow the company to breathe or surface above the red line.The complex maze of a balance sheet that dribbles the figures around and balances both sides with jargons and loopholes makes you feel that "when will you ever see the light of the day?

On one hand revenues grow, the cost pressures are pushing you but you have kept them under strict control. you have added up all the possible avenues of generating extra bits of income through the legitimate channels and also stepping out of your zones to get that icing on the cake.Yet........the dollars seem to do the vanishing act and all reasons in this world are given to the band of people to ensure everybody remains where they were a year ago.No change to their social, economic status .
The productivity is up, manpower utilization is optimal, the boom bars prevent the expenses from getting out of the limits set and utilization of the assets is at its best.The OEM certifies it,the inventory turnaround time is almost ideal, and yet!!!!!!

No doubt you can be sure that theory and practice are miles apart.On paper the best of on ground cases could be twisted and shown as a disaster for reasons best known to the people behind them.Every query you may have , has a financial jargon tossed at.Either you become a CA and get into the Nitty gritty of these , or use your MBA skills and maneuver your team out of this maze with the hairpin bends and take them with you through another tough year , hoping to see the light of the day.Someday.A big task at hand indeed.
