8.95 View Details Shailendra (not his real name) was the vice president of global account management for a $500 million division of a major manufacturing corporation. When he came to me for executive coaching,  Shailendra  had a six-year track record of success directing and implementing his group’s strategy, and he had successfully grown his division’s revenues by 50% since joining the organization. Colleagues and clients alike recognized  Shailendra  for his impressive relationship-building skills, as well as his ability to effectively translate customer requirements back to the engineering and supply-chain teams to improve the company’s products and performance. By the looks of his resume,  Shailendra  hardly seemed like someone whose job was at risk. Yet three weeks later, he was shocked by the news that his position had been eliminated. What happened? While his termination may have caught  Shailendra  off guard, the ...

#TheLiberalMuslim कल शाम को वर्कप्लेस पर एक अंग्रेज़ नर्स ने बताया कि वह इस्लाम स्वीकार कर रही है. तभी एक पाकिस्तानी "लिबरल" मुस्लिम सामने आया. उसने हँसते हुए कहा - वॉव! पता नहीं उसे क्या दिख गया जो मुझे आज तक नहीं दिखाई दिया? मैं तो एक प्रैक्टिसिंग मुस्लिम नहीं हूँ...पता नहीं लोगों को रिलिजन में क्या दिखाई देता है?      मैंने कहा - धर्म सबके लिए स्पिरिचुअल रिफ्यूज नहीं होता, यह अक्सर सिर्फ एक कम्युनिटी आइडेंटिटी होती है...       उस नर्स ने बताया कि वह आठ साल पहले काश्मीर घूमने गई थी. अब वे दोनों काश्मीर की हालात पर चर्चा करने लगे और एक मलयाली क्रिस्चियन कंसल्टेंट भी उसके साथ मिल गया.      उस पाकिस्तानी ने बेहद शातिर अंदाज में कहना शुरू किया - काश्मीर के बारे में कुछ भी कहने का हमारा अधिकार नहीं है. इसका फैसला वहाँ के लोग करेंगे, हम कौन होते हैं इसके बारे में बोलने वाले. काश्मीर के लोगों की इच्छा का सम्मान होना चाहिए.      और वह मलयाली क्रिस्चियन भी उसकी हाँ में हाँ मिलाने लगा. पिछले पाँच महीने से मैंने वर्कप्लेस पर पॉल...

THE BHISHMA WAY  or THE JATAYU WAY No two people react to the same situation in a similar way. Here are examples of two legendary personalities who were faced with a very similar situation, but thier responses were diagonally apart. One has been elevated but the other only recognised. It's in between Bhisma and Jatayu.  Both, of them were confronted with character defining asssault on womanhood. One chose to die protecting the victim while the other chose to be a mute spectator of the crime. 1) POWERFUL or POWERLESS Bhisma was a powerful and capable warrior and if he wanted, he could have stopped the disrobing of Draupadi - the Queen But he chose to be a silent witness of this act; Where, Jatayu was old and invalid and knew that in all probability, Ravana would kill him. Still, he chose to try his best to protect Sita - the Queen. Bhisma was powerful yet acted powerless, where Jatayu was powerless yet acted powerful. _ "Real power is not about physical ...

In the book  The Tipping Point , author Malcolm Gladwell talks about three different archetypes of people: mavens, connectors, and salespeople. If you’re a changemaker, this framework can help you see why you work the way you do. Mavens make change happen through information and ideas.  These are the people you ask whenever you want to know something about anything — they’re always the people in the know. They’re builders, engineers, process folks, and system folks. It’s all about the ideas and the information. You might be a maven if: You often feel overwhelmed because you have so many big ideas to unpack. You’re often frustrated by how “thin” a lot of information seems. You can get lost for days working on one idea, or spend months happily exploring the depths of one idea. Your expression is largely about ideas and information, rather than about people or sizzle. Connectors make change happen through people . They galvanize people. They’re natural hubs. That’...

Are you successful at coaching your employees? In our years studying and working with companies on this topic, we’ve observed that when many executives say “yes,” they’re ill-equipped to answer the question. Why? For one thing, managers tend to  think  they’re coaching when they’re actually just telling their employees what to do. According to  Sir John Whitmore , a leading figure in executive coaching,  the definition of coaching is  “unlocking a person’s potential to maximize their own performance. It is helping them to learn rather than teaching them.” When done right, coaching can also help with employee engagement; it is often more motivating to bring your expertise to a situation than to be told what to do. Recently, my colleagues and I conducted a study that shows that most managers don’t understand what coaching really is — and that also sheds light on how to fix the problem. ...
