Percepción y Realidad

La percepción que una persona tiene de sí misma puede ser enteramente diferente a la realidad y por lo general siempre es "a favor". Como ejemplo, presento el caso de Gerry Czarnecki, una persona que hoy en dia es consultor y que tiene incluso su propio blog. El primer parrafo que muestro es lo que el mismo publica como parte de su biografía en su blog. El segundo parrafo lo narra el que fue su jefe precisamente en IBM (Louis Gestner) en su libro "Who Says Elephants Can't Dance". Creo que no se necesitan mas comentarios.

1. "In 1993 Mr. Czarnecki was part of the team recruited by Louis Gerstner to begin the turnaround of IBM Corporation. Serving as an IBM Senior Vice President-Human Resources and Administration, Mr. Czarnecki had worldwide responsibility for human resources, real estate services, quality programs, non manufacturing procurement, aviation and a wide range of other staff functions. Among those broad responsibilities was the management of the corporate wide reengineering project which was targeted at the complete redesign of the business processes across all business units in what has become referred to as a "clean sheet" approach to systems and process reengineering. This effort required the coordination and project leadership across all research and development, manufacturing, marketing and distribution functions as well as all staff support and information technology activities."

2. "It turned out to be the first and only really big hiring mistake I made in my early years at IBM. He burned his bridges with his colleagues very soon. He left IBM within a year." Por cierto, esta es la versión tal cual del audio-libro, por alguna extraña razon (tal vez presión del mismo Czarnecki) la última versión del libro escrito ha sido "suavizada".
