‘Management by Making the Numbers’ —  produces a debased kind of leadership. We can only keep a working environment worthy of a civilized nation by valuing some things more highly than making the numbers.Lets discuss the various aspects of this concept

1 Not advisable for long term employee relations
2 Good concept but requires an even better execution

Not advisable for long term employee relations

idea posted by Dayanand Deshpande Senior Consultant, Ernst & Young
People under pressure to deliver ‘the numbers’ will usually do so by whatever means are simplest and least risky. In time, that leads to using various unethical approaches, in the same way that it’s easier to get rich by cheating and theft than by working hard. If all top management care about is hitting or exceeding target, they’re likely to overlook little things such bending the rules. They’re especially likely to ignore management bullying, since they can re-interpret it as ’strong leadership’ or ’setting high standards’, and the victims as ‘losers’ and ‘weaklings’.

I believe that management by numbers is a good concept. It makes sure that targets set, are met for sure. But the execution of this is to be taken care of. One of the main facets of leadership is achieving what they have set to achieve and what better way to do it, than giving the numbers the prime importance.

How convenient it is to blame the government.. There are flaws in government and then there were always flaws there.. now we can see them clearly because many people are coming up and giving voice to the wrong practices..
It is a wonderful concept but we need a right plan to follow it. Just an idea wont help.
Bad news really bad news . 1) We should produce our own arms . 2) More arms means more fight. 3) Only arms would not ensure security.
