People

The moment we open our eyes in this world we are surrounded by entities called ‘People’. May they be our parents, our siblings, cousins, friends, relatives, and teachers. Everyone is associated for with us for a specific span and a specific motive. 

Specific motive might seem a bit interrogative but yes it is true, may it be a selfless or selfish it is only a motive that connects us to the world. It is an umbilical cord that holds the child in the mother’s womb.  Interestingly we come across different people so leave a permanent mark in our life. It is very ironic to notice that some people come in our lives for very short duration but the impact made by them on our lives is huge. 

Personally I am not a social being and enjoy comfort interacting with only handful people. But still since my childhood I have noticed that every person that comes in our life has a role to play. They come during a particular phase where there role lies and vanish when the role is over. That’s where the entire problem lies. However hard you try once their role is over, they will not wait, not even for a second. Surprisingly, it happens so naturally with a series of events rolling one after the other, it looks as if nature is conspiring to take that persona away from us. That’s where all emotions like depression, sadness, break up come into picture.

I know it is easy to say but hard to digest that if every human understands that every individual that comes in to our lives has to go at some point, some might stay for a longer period depending on how deep is their role in our lives.

People come people go what remains with us is their memories and experiences. The experiences may be good or bad, but again both create problems. If we have good experiences we expect the same from others and expectations lead to frustration and shattered feelings. If we have bad experiences we feel afraid to trust the other person that comes in to our life. That’s why it is good to remember a person in memories but limit only to that don’t start looking others from the earlier one’s specks. It will not let you move on in life.

I believe the moment we are born we are spinning a web around us, the web is the people around, the more and more we are caught deeper in the web the difficult it is to get out. It is good to have lot of people around us but the only person that lasts from the moment you come till you go, your entire journey is "YOU AND ONLY YOU".

Principles of CSR

Because of the uncertainty surrounding the nature of CSR activity, it is difficult to define CSR and to be certain about any such activity. There are three basic principles which together comprise all CSR activity. 1.Sustainability: If the resources are utilized in the present, then they are no longer available for use in the future. This is particularly pertaining to those resources which are finite in nature. Measures of sustainability would consider the rate at which resources are consumed by the organization in relation to the rate at which the resources could be generated. 2.Accountability: Accountability is concerned with the organizations realization that its action affects the external environment therefore assuming responsibility for the effects of its actions. It implies that the organization is a part of wider societal network and has responsibilities to the entire network rather than just to the owners of the organization. 3. Transparency It means that the external impact o

HR: A Strategic Asset

Strategic assets are “the set of difficult to trade and imitate, scarce, appropriable, and specialized resources and capabilities that bestow the firm’s competitive advantage”. It is easy to understand why organizations talk about people as an asset, but tend to manage them largely as a cost to be minimized. Aside from accounting principles that encourage this perspective, HR costs are easy to observe, while HR value creation is not. Largely because of the traditional perspective on HR, organizations have no way to measure HR’s strategic performance. Nevertheless, we know that intangibles in the aggregate are an increasingly important source of firm value, and that human capital ought to be a part of that asset value. HR is a strategic asset as it can play a critical role in both strategy implementation and management systems. Namely, the ability to execute strategy well is a source of competitive advantage, and “people” are the lynchpin of effective strategy execution. We think i

Followership

“It is often said Today’s effective followers are tomorrow’s potential leaders” There are effective followers and ineffective followers Sheep There are people who are passive and like to work from 9-6. They think they work for living and lack initiative. They expect their leader to think for them. Most probably they may say, “Sir, whatever you think good for me”. They are also “Yes Sir”, “No Sir” type. Survivors There are some people whose motto is “better to be safe than sorry”. They do not take risk, tend to be political. They do not lead change but want to survive across it all costs. They are not someone who would rock the boat. You will find plenty of such people in Govt. offices.  Followership Model Alienated Followers They are capable yet cynical people. They come across as negative people. They generate and emit lot of negative thoughts and energy. They are seen gossiping in the corridor and criticizing their organisation and management. You will hear comment such a
