The document discusses the differences between effectiveness and efficiency. It states that effectiveness refers to how useful or productive actions are in achieving desired results, while efficiency refers to how quickly or resource-efficiently a task can be completed. An effective employee consistently achieves sales, while an inefficient one struggles. Efficiency saves both time and money. Overall, effectiveness ensures you work on the right things, while efficiency focuses on performing tasks productively.

2. • Though effective and efficient may seem similar
there is a difference between effective and
efficient. In other words, we can say that effective
and efficient are two words that give different
inner meanings. The word effective is used in the
sense of power. On the other hand, the word
efficient is used in the sense of ability. In other
words, it can be said that the word efficient
conveys the ability of a person or a thing
whereas the word effective suggests the innate
power of a thing.

3. The difference between efficiency and effective is that
efficiency refers to how well you do something
“Effectiveness”
Whereas effectiveness refers to how useful it is

4. • Effectiveness is the level of results from the actions of
employees and managers. Employees and managers
who demonstrate effectiveness in the workplace help
produce high-quality results. Take, for instance, an
employee who works the sales floor. If he’s effective, he’ll
make sales consistently. If he’s ineffective, he’ll struggle
to persuade customers to make a purchase. Companies
measure effectiveness often by conducting performance
reviews. The effectiveness of a workforce has an
enormous impact on the quality of a company’s product
or service, which often dictates a company’s reputation
and customer satisfaction.

5. • Efficiency in the workplace is the time it takes to do
something. Efficient employees and managers complete
tasks in the least amount of time possible with the least
amount of resources possible by utilizing certain time-
saving strategies. Inefficient employees and managers
take the long road. For example, suppose a manager is
attempting to communicate more efficiently. He can
accomplish his goal by using email rather than sending
letters to each employee. Efficiency and effectiveness are
mutually exclusive. A manager or employee who's
efficient isn’t always effective and vice versa. Efficiency
increases productivity and saves both time and money.

6. • Effectiveness is insuring that you are
working on the right thing while efficiency
focuses on performing that task in a
productive manner.
• Suggest that the starting point is to keep
track of your time for one week noting all
the meetings, phone calls, emails, report
writing that you do. Only after you know
where your time is spent can you be
efficient in organizing or allocating your
time.

7. Reflection
• In my view , effectiveness is more on actions that
probably the subordinates and the managers
takes a time for their goals to achieved until they
reach their purpose due to have a high quality
performances.
• On the other hand , the efficient they use
technologies to limit they time at the same time it
will be small time to consume and they don’t
actually see their goals to achieved unless they
do that process to accomplish.

8. An ability to achieve the goals of a team is much needed a
effective plan in order to do the right things just to commit
the goals of the team and also an efficient to focus the
process and specially using less resources wisely.
Therefore effectiveness is better than efficiency.
