Working Together!!
It is simply impossible to work
alone. We can live alone, eat alone, but working. I can say for myself. I need people
around me. Rightly so I am the People Manager in a Social Work Organization. I genuinely believe that 'Saathi haath
badhana saathi re' does create a sense of joint effort.
What Am I saying; any day it’s better to do things ourselves rather than to involve someone. With the kind of effort it takes for us to train someone to get a work done I think it will just make the life easier to do it all by ourselves rather than attempt to make others understand our style or to adapt their styles.
This is the dilemma I see myself in everyday now a days. I do try to separate myself in a team that I work with and at the same time I also try to work together with them. Working together is the only way I believe I can work productively. However sometimes or most of the times the behavior, dynamics, attitudes in the team make it very difficult to work.
Just the other day, I was explaining to a newly recruited volunteer for our office, that I don’t understand why we can’t work collaboratively. There is so much duplication in working in silos, but at the same time I also had a fair understanding of taking the stand of working alone. I do that myself half of the times because of factors like ego involved. ; Mine and/or somebody else’s.
But I believe this discussion can go on. And it’s easier to just work according to one’s style and circumstances. When in a dilemma by stance is taking an approach with helps you work most effectively. No one size fits all.
