There is a complete difference
between Boyd and Simpson in terms of managing things and working with
employees. The first key difference between them was their work approach. Boyd
was able to gain more success, because he never hesitated from learning. He
used leadership attributes like making good relations with employees, and
motivating them to do well. Boyd tried his best to know that which things are
able to drive performance of employees, and focused on those performance
drivers and tried to enhance them. On the other hand, Simpson was not following
this strategy; rather he kept on working with routine practices and policies. Boyd
has an approach to motivate his employees to think out of the box, and use
their thinking to develop new ideas to improve performance, whereas Simpson was
the one, who did not looked for any changes, rather asked employees to follow given
policies.
Boyd was trying new things, and
asked his employees to do so by bringing changes in their minds. He asked his
employees to remain on course by making sure that they use new approaches, and
change their work pattern to find a better one for the future. He also ensured
that employees know their roles and responsibilities, which were of physical
nature. Simpson was not a bad manager, but his intention to get satisfaction of
customers’ was bit low as compared to Boyd. Simpson also has a different
approach in dealing with tasks. He did not give focus to the quality of tasks,
rather he always kept busy in thinking that one task is being done, and how the
next will be done etc. He did not ask his employees to challenge set patterns,
rather he was happy with set routine practices and policies. These differences
in their approach can clearly show that why Boyd was able to achieve so much
success in short time, which Simpson could not achieved in so many years.
