Ignoring Human Resource ..

Most of us while studying in B schools dint spent much time in studying the intricacies of human behavior and Human resource Management as a subject. Today when I work with daily issues in the company I think it is the toughest and most important element of the business .

You can have very fancy strategies, full involvement of the top management but communicating the message to all the people in the organization and motivating them to implement a particular strategy is not easy . Every man wants importance and good roles, how will you satisfy every one and yet bring them to accept a change. At times even automation which eases jobs of the people brings lot of dissatisfaction amongst the employees as they are left to do very mundane tasks which even a ordinary person can do. After every few years the best people will leave the organization and the others will be left who are not even half as good. How to cope with this issue . Providing them good incentives to stay ?

Incentive structures to motivate the people can back fire. Against the popular perception, money is the least important thing for most of us. In blue collor jobs where the salary are the lowest, people are not concerned about it , they are happy in there 2 meal a day. If you provide them high incentive to improve their productivity, they might work for only 5 days and enjoy the rest 2 days. There monitary needs gets fulfilled in working just 5 days, this leads to mass absenteeism which is not good in any setup.

The great Lehman Brothers gave amazing bonuses to their top management which induced them to take more risks. The ultimate result is known to everyone . So is this fixed salary and a incentive scheme actually works ?

I am still struggling to find a answer to it ...

Filthy Rich

What will you do when you have tons of money, Mr Raju is reported to have 1000 designers suit just for himself, which can make even the likes of Amitabh Bachhan feel jealous, but the big question is - Why do people like Raju spend millions on designer suits and accessories when it will take him atleast 3 years to repeat the usage of the earlier used one. Some of the reasons might be:-

1         Exhausted with other options of burning money

2         Marginal utility of saving money gets reduced drastically

3         Safety from detection of excess Black money

4          Have to fill up the expensive and fancy Wardrobes

5         To attract attention of fairer sex

6         Improving the demand and state of economy

7         Use it as a sign of immaculate taste

Biggest lesson learned in 2008

Last year when I read the book “ The Secret “ , heard the audio book by Brain Tracy ,all the mysteries of life became so clear , and during the course of one year I have realized that it’s the power of sub conscious mind and belief which drives everything in life . Indeed it was the biggest learning in last year. When I was 6 year young ,one of my primary school friend told me a trick for getting up at right time in the morning “ He told me to pray to the pillow to wake you up at the right time and it will help you “ . When I tried it, it worked for me but I thought that it’s just a coincidence and I doubted that power which I realize now was nothing but power of super conscious mind.

The most important lesson learned are:-

1.       Genius trust and believe in their insights. They trust their creatively and intelligence,

2.       All creativity is the way of improving the existing way of doing things .The more we use the creativity; the more we will improve it. The subconscious mind and data works on it. It brings us idea which lies outside our individual expertise. That’s why most of the major breakthrough coming from individuals who do simple things. See things from different perspective. It is even  capable of goal oriented intelligence.

3.       Bible says “ to those who are positive and excited and moving towards the accomplishment of their goal , they get more ideas , more energy and more creativity to those who are going nowhere , those who have very few ideas and goals and even the energy they have gets drained away and they become tired ,depressed and fatigued “

4.       Most of the inventions and discovery are made word perfect very first time. We can program our goal in mind and fire our mental torpedo and it will find its own target.

5.       The winners accept and believe that they are fated and destined to be successful and everything happened was required to give them learning which was valuable to prepare them to archive their purpose. Everything is happening for success. Every defeat has equal and opposite advantage, just have to look out for it.

6.       When the answer come from insight, immediately act on it. The more rapidly you act the more ideas you will get.

7.       Any thought, plan or idea will become a reality through our super conscious mind, whether its positive or negative .Sooner or later develop the habit of what you want to happen to you. Systematically remove all fears or negative thought from mind. It’s the most important powerful source in our mind.

8.       Discipline, Perseverance. Persistence, Control and determination about the goal is required for making our dreams into reality.
