When Obama in his speech said Yes We Can; which was probably heard by everyone pan-globe and accepted well with both the hands open for CHANGE and ACCEPTING THE MISTAKES done in past but not crying on it; rather taking ways out to cover the gap and get results. Standing on the podium and addressing the mass he just had a goal clear in his mind that Yes We Can . Taking everyone along with him; he dint even had a single doubt that something bad will happen. As the world was happy and accepting change so were he and his colleagues. Some quotes from Mr. President: “The road ahead will be long. Our climb will be steep. We may not get there in one year, or even one term,…..” “There will be setbacks and false starts. There are many who won’t agree with every decision or policy I make as President, and we know that government can’t solve every problem. But I will always be honest with you about the challenges we face. I will listen to you, especially when we disagree. And, above all, I will a...

Everyday is someone’s exit day in office…here… there…anywhere…everywhere… This is a day which I believe comes in everyone’s tenure in an organization; the reasons may be different for every individual. Apart from the other formalities; exit meeting is essential for an employee and employer both in their own respective way. This is an important task for the HR Manager to have a clear discussion with the employee on his/her last working day in the organization. Mostly, these interviews are conducted after a mundane task of filling up a form with 100s of questions about the reason for exit and a standard question about the areas of improvement for the company. There are certain dos and don’ts to consider before you sit for this meeting: Do not allow your emotions to come in between you and the company; this meeting could be a learning experience for you and the managers. Firstly, ask him to explain in his own words why he is leaving the company. Gently dig deeper. Is there anything you or...

Meaning is not something you stumble across, like the answer to a riddle or the prize in a treasure hunt. Meaning is something you build into your life. You build it out of your own past, out of your affections and loyalties, out of the experience of humankind as it is passed on to you, out of your own talent and understanding, out of the things you believe in, out of the things and people you love, out of the values for which you are willing to sacrifice something. The ingredients are there. You are the only one who can put them together into that pattern that will be your life. Let it be a life that has dignity and meaning for you. If it does, then the particular balance of success or failure is of less account. John Gardner Reference: FISH Book

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...

Two weeks back I watched ‘Eclipse’ the sequel of ‘Twilight’ and ‘New Moon’; respectively. The movie is based on the Twilight saga written by Stephenie Meyer. As always the story revolves around the three protagonists of the movie; Edward, Bella and Jacob; where the author lets Jacob - the dashing werewolf 'eclipse' Edward. The competition between the two Edward and Jacob is very much prevalent in the movie; as the story moves on the competition between two of them takes a harder road ever after. The love triangle forecast that was clearly seen between Edward, Bella and Jacob in New Moon executes in Eclipse. Jacob; keeping every stone un-turned confesses his love for Bella. He states he is warm and alive, unlike Edward which makes him a better match for Bella. Bella is however desperate to take her relationship with Edward to next level while Edward disapproves of Bella jeopardizing her life and family for him. To add to the dilemmas of the trio is vampire Victoria who comes ba...
