ZAIN Africa chief executive officer Chris Gabriel has observed that productivity of most companies was being hampered by workers who spend most time on non-priority work-related activities.

Delivering a lecture to the Lusaka Round Table No. 15 on Friday evening, Gabriel said there was need for employees to make themselves relevant and contribute to the overall objective of the company.

Gabriel said there was need for workers to be honest and proactive to themselves as way of contributing to the overall productivity levels of any company.

He stressed that attitude towards work was key in determining the contribution of each employee to the collective efforts of all workers in the company.

“Spend more time on things you can control and influence development on…be focused on things you are supposed to do,” Gabriel said.

“You have to keep on raising the bar high by being truthful and honest to yourself…it’s not about staff because you are an individual but it’s about looking at specific objections and really making sure you add value.”

And Gabriel said the ultimate contribution of each employee was dependent upon individual attitude towards work.

He said it was important that each employee remained disciplined and focused towards the objective of the company as a collection of the overall staff objective.

“Nothing is impossible and fear is the only limitation while attitude determines success,” said Gabriel. “Discipline and focus, that is what it is all about.

Gabriel has five degrees and has worked in among other continents, the Middle East, Africa, Asia, United States, Europe and the Scandinavian region.
