DHIRUBHAISM

Dhirubhaism No 1: Roll up your sleeves and help.He was the first person to sense that the circumstances would have been beyond his team's control, rather than it being a slip on their part, as he trusted their capabilities implicitly.............. rolling up his sleeves and diving in to rescue a situation that had gone out of control.

Dhirubhaism No 2: Be a safety net for your team.

but the knowledge that he knew and cared for what I was going through, and that he was there for me if I ever needed him, worked wonders for my confidence.

Dhirubhaism No 3: The silent benefactor.

When he helped someone, he never ever breathed a word about it to anyone else.

Dhirubhaism No 4: Dream big, but dream with your eyes open.

But though he dreamed big, he was able to clearly distinguish between perception and reality and his favourite phrase "dream with your eyes open" underlined this

Dhirubhaism No 5: Leave the professional alone!

he only direction that he gave me, just once, was this: "Produce your best."

Dhirubhaism No 6: Change your orbit, constantly! we are all born into an orbit. It is up to us to progress to the next. We could choose to live and die in the orbit that we are born in. But that would be a criminal waste of potential. When we push ourselves into the next orbit, we benefit not only ourselves but everyone connected with us.However, when you change orbits, you will create friction. The good news is that your enemies from your previous orbit will never be able to reach you in your new one. By the time resentment builds up in your new orbit, you should move to the next level. And so on.

Dhirubhaism No 7: The arm-around-the-shoulder leader

it must have required phenomenal generosity of spirit to be that inclusive. Yes, this was one of the things that was uniquely Dhirubhai -- that warm arm around my shoulder that did much more than words in letting me know that I belonged, that I had his trust, and that I had him on my side!

Dhirubhaism No 8: The Dhirubhai theory of Supply creating Demand He was not an MBA. Nor an economist. But yet he took traditional market theory and stood it on its head......No doubt his instinct was backed by years and years of reading, studying market trends, careful listening and his own honed capacity to forecast, but yet despite all this preparation, it required undeniable guts to pioneer such a revolutionary move.....his uncanny knack of knowing exactly how the market is going to behave.

Dhirubhaism No 9: Money is not a product by itself, it is a by-product, so don't chase it People will pay for your product or service if it is good. But if you get your priorities slightly mixed up, not only will the money you make remain just a quick buck it would in all likelihood blacklist you for good. Sounds too simplistic!!

THE FOUNTAINHEAD

My review at ILP as it was about the book and same goes for my thinking...

The Fountainhead is a great work of fiction by Ayn Rand. It presents one of the most challenging ideas that - man's ego is the source of ideas for human progress. First published in 1943, it gives a whole new perspective of looking at objectivism.
Change is t he law of life. We change to improve continuously. The process of change is initiated by the Creators. These people are wellspring of ideas.Civilization is an outcome of these emergent properties.
The ideas are attributes of an individual.Collectively we can just agglomerate these thoughts to bring about a change.The integrity of thoughts and creativity of an individual must be respected.
Quoting--"We can divide a meal among many men. We cannot digest in a collective stomach...think,feel,judge or act; these are functions of the self.... Degrees of ability vary but the basic principle remains the same; the degree of a man's independence, initiative and personal love for his work determines his talent as a worker and his worth as a man".
The authors has given a thorough description of the various characters and the situations which create a vivid image in front of the readers. The author highly approves of the character of an ideal man as she wants to project things as they "ought to be". Thus, though idealistic it still highlights our pitiable habit of stealing ideas and creativity.
When working in organizations where results are achieved through collective efforts, individual contributions are often not distinguished and their originality is rarely preserved. When some work is assigned to an individual and you trust that he is the right person to execute it; when one achieves the desired results, one should not plagiarize by mere;y altering his findings.

If you haven't read this you haven't read literally 'The ideal book"

MY TEACHER

The world would be zeros

and without it heroes.

The direction in thoughts 

and the point in thinking,

Whatever we wrote

and problem we sort.

Questions for questions,

definitive solutions to problems,

Curiosity for doubts,

but sensitivity even for robots.

The manner of speaking,

and speaking of manners,

The leathers in dressing,

and dressing of leathers.

Seeking the horizons

and calibrating the cosmos,

Being inspired 

and raising aspirations.

In all my orals'

and for grooming my morals,

Building character

and strength as a rover.

Showing me even the dark,

raising hope of another light,

Fought with my ego,

so that weak never see my might.

Meaning of colors,

first of the white,

Away from the red,

and towards the green,

Taking care of the brown,

and keeping the blues clean.

Care for every anima

whether yellow or pink,

For even poverty is a situation, you can find yourself in,

and not a stink.

No sign of disparity,

submerged only in unity,

Freedom is the ultimate 

price of creativity.

Eating only the bitter

without any flutter,

Having a patience

in every essence.

Take life in your grip,

add a little friendship,

think of governing the world,

and not strip.

For making me a believer,

before GOD I thank you my teacher.

 

 

!!!HAPPY TEACHER'S DAY!!!

 

--Dinesh Agarwal

"Let me be alone, if that is the price of world unity" -- Professor Peter Nash, in Lone Path.

PRICELESS!!

!!Priceless!!

First sight of love,
Every feather of dove,
Last second of exam,
Every word of ham,
First egg of chickens,
Last work of Dickens,
First drop of rain,
Every seed of grain,
Last reflex of pain,
Every slice of time,
Every word that rhyme,
Every medal of game,
Each second of fame,
Every ray of sunshine,
Last hint of crime,
Mother feeding food morsels,
Seeing you cross every Achilles,
First thought of mind,
The last search of find,
The last reed of innocence,
And that age of being spontaneous,
First pimple on dimple,
Those look that are simple,
Truth of Beauty,
Every drop of blood on duty,
The dance of finesse,
The music of resonance,
That smile of humor,
Those pearls of anger,
The first germination of tree,
The relation that is free,
Every sort of ecstasy,
Even quench of the thirsty,
For certainly there are some things,
That money can’t buy,
All those are priceless!!



---Priceless was even the freedom,
Till we enclosed it in fiefdom.

HR problems

Yesterday I had my GD / PI for C.E.T.

I realize this from the conversation i had with a number of like myself ,aspiring managers.

Previously there used to be two class of employee one which didn't had skills for the work and other which had skills and could also ask for premium salary.

In the last 5 years the picture has changed quiet a lot and it doesn't come to me as a surprise that though the salary are on the rise, so has been the attrition problem and the job hopping activity.

So what is at unrest???

First let see how the class of employee have changed. There are now three classes of employee and quiet different from the earlier two.
The First is class of all those employee that have completed their education and have to work for earning a salary. The second class is the one which are educated and can work and get a salary for work done. The third class is one which are educated, can work, deserve premium; but that is not the end of it with them. They are also looking for work.

But when it is so simple to classify the employees, why there is a conundrum?
It is because:

Though it is easy to screen between the first and other two.. it is difficult to screen between the second and the third class.And it is only after you have employed them for a period you realize that in which class they can actually be classified. so what we are looking for for making the distinction. A number of them.

The third class always have higher aims. They want to grow and would be ready to take greater responsibility. The trick here lies in recognizing this and rewarding the same with work and compensation. If you don't provide the either they don't see the growth. If you will decide every term of employment they will be gone (this include work, compensation, quantum of work, work timings).
The employer should never try to be smart with them; if you have the experience they are also the cream and the end result is not good for either. The development has to be mutual.
The term 'compensation' used by the industry is misnomer. Unless they think that they torture us first and they want to compensate. This then lead to what we have at hand; attrition , job hopping.The loss on the employee side is they don't develop expertise.
The second class has to be motivated first and that is all that is required. Then they become part of the third.
The first class needs to understand what all type of work is available and that they can choose the work.This will lead to enhanced efficiency; if understood by the employer as well.


At the same time HR can argue that the quality of employee has gone down and that is more than true!!

But these changes wont take place till HR comes to the forefront of Company's growth plan and realization of the fact by Education Centers that the need and the quality of the hour both has risen.

STARTUPS!!
