The Goal


Few months back one of my friend recommended to read the book THE GOAL written by Eliyahu M. Goldratt and Jeff Cox and since then I was searching the same so that I can read this and learn something nice out of this piece of fiction.

It contains a serious message for all managers in industry and explains the ideas which underlie the Theory of Constraints.

And to my surprise I just saw this book on a road side book stall today and immediately bought it. I am so excited to start reading this and will soon post my review on the same.

Till then Happy Reading to me:) and Happy Blogging to all of you:)

Restructure your Corporate Model

This is a common scenario with the corporate houses where the organizational structures are re-aligned for smoother operations in an organization. There are many compromises the Company has to do as per the requirements of the NEW management. One of the challenges faced by them would be studying the work graph of the employees and make them adjust in the new environment and accept the changes. It is said that changes are inevitable but changes should be accepted with open hands by the employees. The companies should come out of the shell of the BIG CORPORATE and should study their own SWOT and act on; the action and the analysis areas may be inside or outside their pre-determined shell. There can be lot many reasons for restructuring…be it less performance, all talks- no work, only work---no talks, no clear goal, no direction, no decision….and many more…everyone needs a change and a better change. With the advent of restructuring in the company the employee would be little skeptical as...

Recently I gave small talk on the Social Networking and media and below are some of the facts we discussed: Social Networking can be easily described as the interaction between a group of people who share a common interest; using social contacts to network; using internet's network groups. It is a phenomenon that has recently taken over the web, allowing more connectivity & interaction between web users; it also allows participation and engagement . Connecting and interacting thru social networking is also considered as the paradigm shift in communication world. While it helps giving true feedback where a real conversation is involved and free focus groups are there for all. It gives a chance to reach and find new supporters as well. The sharing points on the social network are Information, Opinions, Ideas and Emotions sharing. The ...

FISH Philosophy!!!

Sometime back my colleague gave a presentation on the FISH Philosophy; it is a theory from John Christensen; which was derived by placing cameras in fish market to study the behaviour of workers working actively. As the book suggests, “When we choose to love the work we do, we can catch our limit of happiness, meaning and fulfillment every day.” The study shows how 75% of normal human life is consumed in work related areas as going to office, spending time in working and other such meagre activities and by the time Friday appears everyone sighs and says “Thank God its Friday” and gives their 100% of the energy. The promoters and writer proudly shares that this book will benefit the managers which will indeed increase employee retention and motivate people to take pride in what they do; so it says no work is small you should perform your duties with pride and enthusiasm. The story is a parable; an invented story about finding the deep source of energy, creativity and passion that exists...
