Working professional in city is just like a person who is going on the road and suddenly founds a gold coin on his way. And he picks it up and keep it. So do you know what he has done ? Its called stealing. And if this person decides not to pick up the gold coin and moves on his way. Do you know what this action of his is known as ? Its called sluggishness. In both cases he is not true to himself. In similar way the duty of a professional in an organization is not to enjoy and steal coins, or to neglect them on the road by being irresponsible. His real job is to pick up that coin, find out who is the owner and then give it to him. Or we can say his real job is to render services to the owner of the organization without being Frat and Solitaire (Bhogi and Tyagi). Our job in this world is not to use material objects for self gratification or neglecting them. Rather our job is to understand that shine of sun is not possible without sun. Or the power we use in our homes is not possible without power plants. Everything is provided by one controller and there is a reason why controllers are rendering us sunshine and electricity. Its our duty to understand that reason and devote ourselves to that task. Controller will surely take care of us and our family.According to Maa Kunti in Mahabharata, Pandvas and Yadus have no value in this world in the absense of Krishna. They understood their controller, rendered their services to him and hence are valued yug yug by this world.
Do you know why team leaders are so bad ? There is a reason … They form you, and then they brainstorm you, norm you and then make perform you. Our real life team leader is our father. We might hate them sometimes but everything they do is to make us perform and make us live life like a complete man and woman. As i am spending my professional life with military gentlemen these days, now i have understood why fathers look like a military officer. So now i would just request you to forgive your team leaders, managers and directors and accept their brainstorm sessions like sweet fruits and adjust your behavior according to the situation and not responding in an aggressive way. I feel team leaders are like anti-virus and every time our mind is infected with some virus or issues, its their duty to run full system scan on us with recommended updates. Updating and scanning minds of subordinates will enable their systems to work faster and will avoid problems like low virtual memory and strange behavior. The eye of a team leader is just like lens and he/she sees us as 4 type of toys …. lolz …. Lets share it … He will talk to us and will get an idea for our source of motivation ….. We are just like a toy with a slip tagged on our T-Shirt with a message “Please understand me”. And whenever team leaders sees this slip, they try to access our processor to know our source of motivation. Actually we describe it to them when they ask us few questions.. We describe them that we are introvert and nobody in this world except us, can lead us. As an introvert we tell them clearly that we only follow our inner self and perform best when we are working without team. Or we can also tell them that we are an extrovert who can do anything with people, collaboration and teamwork. As an extrovert, I am the best and people always hear us because we are extrovert. So finally we give them access to our shell and tell them if we are an introvert or an extrovert. Then second step they do is understand how we access information they are are sending to us. If I am sensing personality, I will use my senses to access his words and want to see everything practically. But if I am intuitive, then I will only visualize patterns of what he is saying and what problem or issue he is discussing. I will never want to see it practically happening like a sensing personality. So now team leader knows if I am a sensing personality and believes in what is practically shown and delivered. After he knows my way of hearing him, he is curious to know how I process accepted information using my processor. He wants to know my feedback and decision on what he has communicated. They want to know if mine processor is “T” type or “F” type …. Now what does that mean? T=Thinking and F=Feeling. If I respond to him with a feeling of love and care, using personal values and input of others, he will come to know that we are tactful and emotional in decision making. And if I respond with logical analysis of facts without using emotions, then they will come to know that I am a thinker and analyst. At last they want to know how do I live my life? Am I a judging personality or perceiving dude … I have plan for everything and I have organized everything to make my decision making easier, then he will consider me as a judging personality who wants and have need to control everything. But if I am flexible and spontaneous and want to see life how it is without organization, team leader will consider me as a Perceiving personality. So finally he knows who we are and where to place us in his organization …….huh
Leaders in an organization could be the reason for our existence in the game but they are not responsible for results of our deeds. Trees need rain water to grow but still raining is not responsible for prosperity of trees. The performance of a player is not dependent on selection committee rather it depends on efforts and hard work of player. But selection committee is the reason why player is part of that game. Team leaders are just facility managers and in any case we cannot blame them for our condition. The job of balloon seller is to fill it with gas, tie it and distribute it. But the height to which balloon moves never depends on the balloon seller. It never depends on the color of balloon. What actually matters is what balloon contains in it. Human element is developed using sand, water and air, and they are the reason for existence of our body yet they are not responsible for the condition we are in. Just like sand, supreme power is the reason for every object in this universe but still he is not responsible for sins we perform. To every action there is equal and opposite reaction. If our actions are destructive for objects of nature, we cannot leave this world without bearing destructive reactions from them. It’s the law of nature. And if our actions are constructive for objects in this world, we should be ready to enjoy constructive results and gifts in return. True leaders never blame others rather they they say “I think i was wrong somewhere, i need to improve, so that it might not happen again”. At last I will end up with conclusion “There are two types of people in this world. One who thinks they are responsible for our deeds, and others who think that we ourselves are responsible for our deeds” and they always try to sharpen their saw.”
