Madness
POPCORNED BY DEY DOS
Why do we do Exchanges?
Effectiveness is doing the things that get you closer to your goals.
Efficiency is performing a given task (whether important or not) in the most
economical manner possible.
BEING EFFECTIVE vs BEING EFFICIENT
Being efficient without regard to effectiveness is the default mode of the universe.
1. Doing something unimportant well does not make it important!
2. Requiring a lot of time does not make a task important!
What you do is infinitely more important than how you do it!
BEING EFFECTIVE vs BEING EFFICIENT
1. Which 20% of efforts are causing 80% of my problems and unhappiness?
2. Which 20% of efforts are resulting in 80% of my desired outcomes and excitement?

Being overwhelmed is often as unproductive as doing nothing!
Most things make no difference. Being busy is a form of laziness – lazy thinking and indiscriminate action.

Believe it or not, it is not only possible to accomplish more by doing less, it is mandatory!
TIMOTHYFERRIS
“
We spend too much time with those who poison us with pessimism, sloth, and low expectations of themselves and the world. It is often the case that you have to fire certain friends or retire from particular social circles to have the life you want. This is not being mean; it is being practical! Poisonous people do not deserve your time.
To think otherwise is masochistic. TIMOTHYFERRIS

THEKILLERCOMBINATION
THEKILLERCOMBINATION
Identify the few critical tasks that contribute
most to goals achievement and schedule them with very short and clear deadlines.
If you don’t do this the unimportant becomes important!
TIMOTHYFERRIS
“ Important action is often uncomfortable because there is a chance of failure or rejection.
THEKEYQUESTIONS
Most of the things we do are useless when compared with the goals we want to achieve, and time is wasted
in proportion to the amount that is available!
Am I being productive or just active?
Am I inventing things to do to avoid the important?
THEDAILYQUESTION
Avoid doing more to feel productive when actually accomplishing less!
If this is the only thing I accomplish
today, will I be satisfied with my day?
OBSTACLES FOR GROWTH
TO HAPPEN
MEMBERS ARE DISENGAGED
Members fail to see the link between
organizational strategy and their own activities.
They may feel they can’t decline or renegotiate requests, and they end up overcommitting and running away.
MY LC LACKS AGILITY
Leaders are slow to capture emerging opportunities
because they try to come to complete agreement in their assessments and strive for
perfect solutions.
TRAPPED IN THE STATUS QUO
Leaders articulate a new strategy, but the
organization continues in its old ways, or executes well in crisis mode but lapses into old routines once the crisis
has passed.
STARS DON’T WORK
FOR IDIOTS.
1. Is there a distinctive and disruptive sense of purpose that sets you apart from the competition? What ideas is your LC fighting for?
2. Can you be provocative without provoking a backlash?
3. If your LC went out of business tomorrow, who would miss you and why?
4. Are you the kind of person that other smart people want to work with? What draws people in?
5. Can you make performance fun? Can you make your architecture colorful, dramatic, and energetic?
6. Do you treat different customers differently?
7. Why should great people join your LC or buy your products?
8. Do you know a great person when you see one? Are you scared of them?
9. Does your organization work as distinctively as it says it does?
10. Are you learning as fast as it is needed?
1. EP Recruitment every second week. 2. Targeted-based recruitment (by projects, by countries, by
backgrounds). 3. Brand every recruitment differently, detached from AIESEC
Brand. 4. Short term teams for OGX ICX with clear settled goals. 5. Showcasing (Vlog? BFIE) 6. Twitter hashtags (#IndiaExportsTalent #ImGoingAbroad
#fromIndia2theWorld #BFIE) Choose one and stick to it! Measure, showcase it!
7. EP Recruitment in TechSchools for Programmers & Web developers (CEED Program?)
8. Returnees/Trainees as part of processes? Make them AIESECers (BFIE)
WHAT WILL BE OUR NEXT STEPS?
