I’m what I’m and you are what you are!!!!!!!
August 18th, 2011Have you compared yourself with someone on at least something?????????
I’m sure your answer is YES.Same is me.
We all compare ourselves with others at least on something which we feel we are not having that for the moment.
But is that a healthy practice?????.
Some of us say yes and some may say no.
But what is actually right????is it yes or no???
This is not a healthy practice if you start comparing yourself with someone for the same thing often.you should compare only till you identify what you are missing.if you start yourself every now and then for that thing then you will not be able to concentrate on what you need to do in getting that thing.
We get confused often on this because we are programmed to believe that that’s the only way of measuring our growth.not really true.it is something like you putting your minimal efforts for something to grow and you start measuring it’s growth often thinking that by just you constantly checking,it will grow of it’s own.
For a leader two things are essential.first to understand that you are what you are and others are what they are.every one has some specialities inbuilt by virtue.it’s the job of the leader to identify those special skills and nurture that.
Many managers use this yard stick to measure their team’s output.this is not correct.it’s not a manager or leader’s job to pre program their team on a particular type.
Secondly,cultivate this to your team members also!!!
Because by virtue they follow your foot steps.If you start comparing everything they will also do the same.make them understand that everyone is unique and bring their uniqueness out and get it applied in the daily usage to produce effective results!!!!!!
Cheers!!!
A Story worth a reading!!!
August 9th, 2011An old man lived alone in Punjab, India . He wanted to sow potato garden,
but it was very hard work. His only son, who would have helped him, was in
prison. The old man wrote a letter to his son and mentioned his situation:
Dear Son,
I am feeling pretty bad because it looks like I won’t be able to plant my
potato garden this year. I hate to miss doing the garden because your mother
always loved planting time. I’m just getting too old to be digging
up a garden plot. If you were here, all my troubles would be over.
I know you would dig the plot for me, if you weren’t in prison.
Love,
Dad
Shortly, the old man received this telegram: “For Heaven’s sake, Dad, don’t
dig up the garden!! That’s where I buried the WEAPONS!!”
At 4 a.m. the next morning, a dozen secret Police agents and local police
officers showed up and dug up the entire garden without finding any WEAPONS.
Confused, the old man wrote another note to his son telling him what
happened, and asked him what to do next.
His son’s reply was: “Go ahead and plant your potatoes, Dad. It’s the best I
could do for you from here.”
MORAL: NO MATTER WHERE YOU ARE IN THE WORLD, IF YOU HAVE DECIDED TO DO
SOMETHING DEEP FROM YOUR HEART YOU CAN DO IT. IT IS THE
THOUGHT THAT MATTERS NOT WHERE YOU ARE OR WHERE THE PERSON IS.

The Team Force-weapon to win!!!!!!
August 5th, 2011What’s essential for winning????
Knowledge,money,opportunities,planning,execution,
smartness,shrewdness,education, we can say so many things.
Just think for a moment!!!!
We ourselves would have seen lot of people around us who have majority of the above qualities but yet to make a mark on their respective fields.
Why it happens???
Many of these failures are because of one thing.those people are not a team players.
Keep it in your mind!!!!!
A great achievement or success cannot be made possible by a single person.
Any great achievement is by default made possible only because of the team effort.
When it comes to team,it’s not only about you getting from them what you need to reach your targets,but it’s also about you giving them what they need in order to perform and produce results.
It’s about sharing your vision,knowledge and experience to them and you getting the same from them back.
It’s not about you ordering them to complete the task,but it’s all about you encouraging them to accomplish something for which they get rightfully recognised.
Even though we understand and cultivate this on our initial days of the career,the more we grow we forget this fact and we will start thinking as if all is happening because of us.
Leaders/winners will never allow that thought to get nurtured as they clearly know that it will not only spoil the growth of the community/organisation but equally it will spoil ones personality too.
The moment you establish yourself as a team player you will get the energy of all your team members in you completing/achieving your tasks/targets.
The success of the team leader is purely depends on making their team member realise one thing that they are not working for someone but they are working for themselves!!!!!!
Many think team building and team management is a process.they are wrong.it’s a culture.
Process is something which helps someone to get accustomed to a culture.
Culture by virtue has a process embedded and apart from the process it gives people a satisfaction which makes them feel like they are also a part of the success.
If you want your team to believe you,first you need to believe them.
More that you expect them to understand your preference and change,you should first understand their preferences,interests,issues,family,goals,plans and you making them understand that you are going to be there with them in seeing that they are achieving the maximum.
Don’t expect them to learn something of their own and perform.it will definitely happen one day.but if you want that to happen one day,you first need to teach them what they need in order to perform.
Don’t penalise them when something goes wrong.give an opportunity to them to correct it and you stand by them on their mistakes.
Don’t order them.instead ask them on what should be done.
Don’t feel that your team is incompetent.also don’t make them feel their team leader is incompetent.
there is no need for you to arrange a party on their anniversary or birthday.but make sure that you greet them personally and make them understand that they are important to you.
Don’t expect them to give credit to you for all their success.instead give them some credits on your success even though they are not a part of it at times.
Remember your team is your strongest weapon in you achieving your goals!!!!!!
The most important thing is as the user of that weapon you need to know how to use it!!!!!!
