I, Me and Myself



Recent development in our professional society (Industries), I  met a person while I was talking to him informally I came to know that he is working for Industries, so I asked him in which department he is working.
I was stunned after I heard this beautiful answer:  I am a production guy, but I have to look for Quality, Marketing oh I said how?  Again a very confident throw by him, since my Quality and Marketing team are not working properly I take care of both the departments of my plants; as per my knowledge the company is more than 150 crs. Turnover with the good team of Marketing and Quality.
Now, this was really an alarm for me; he kept me wondering that how can a person work in quality and marketing with the core specialization and experience in production. What would be his output? How is he managing the time? Who is taking care of production when he is out for marketing? How would he be dealing with marketing terms and techniques with no experience in marketing? What sort of reporting he must to doing in front of management to showcase his performance. Most important was how management is getting convinced with his performance.

Now, this was like bombarding on the Human Resource person; because it is really very difficult to digest for HR person to accept this that, a person can handle three major departments of the company individually. With the team still it is acceptable for handling production and quality, but along with production and quality marketing was something which did not convince me.

When HR hire's, they hire a person with specialisation so that he/she can utilise his core experience and contribute to the growth of the organisation; unfortunately, in many of the unstructured organisation management fails to understand that a person can perform well in his/her core area rather than different field. Management need to understands when a person claims of handling many departments he/she is actually manipulating the data and reporting with now quality output.

You can be a jack of all and master of none, but you cannot be master of all.

 It is always expected from the manager's to be a good team player, they should know how to delegate the work and get the work done; else there is a problem in hiring or the person is manipulating reports. Many times manager those who wish to keep their incompetency hidden they use this theory /concept of handling their department.

Management needs to wake up and check and recheck.

Leader’s who don’t listen will eventually be surrounded by the people
who have nothing to say

Big egos are big shields for lots of empty space

Consider Humans as Humans and solve problems professionally at work so that you enjoy work, stay happy and let others be happy The ego is the person's self-esteem or self-importance.   Your ego is your conscious mind, the part of your identity that you consider your "self." If you say someone has "a big ego," then you are saying he is too full of herself/himself. The ego consists of every belief we believe about who we are and what we are it locks our mind and doesn't allow the free flow of ideas, it forces an individual to be inhuman and doesn't permit the person to respect others, their ideas, their temperament. Ego comes once the person creates his own identity in his mind but that's simply a story created, written and executed by the person in their minds. Even superman will self-introspection to just accept and convert weakness into strengths although this is often utopian example however in the professional career, we have...

Importance of professional ethics in the productivity of the organization

The economy is in deceleration and jobs are scarce. People try hard and use all the personal influences to get a job. There is a survival trait among all of us, however, this survival trait if acquired by an incompetent person is likely to lead to the toxicity in an organization. The survival trait perse is not negative if the person uses it to upgrade and meet the expectations of the organization will not only add in the productivity of the organization but will also help in individual development. If the survival trait is combined with insecurity perception creates a lot of conflicts and unethical behaviour among the employees. Hence to sustain themselves these employees use a battery of techniques.   One such technique is writing letters against peers, superiors, and organizations irrespective of departments and duties. This kind of behaviour is destruction in the working environment and loss of productivity. One question is why it is so pronounced in India? It is on...
