When you invite Redundancy!!

By Nupur Pandey -


Life doesn't surprise you when you are thrown off guard. It shocks you when despite being thrown off guard, you realise that you are still thrown. and the support you expect is not there. Instead you get feeling that there is something happening, you are left alone, to struggle.

This does not necessarily have to apply to professional space but can also apply to our personal spaces. Our friend circles, our family, our relationships.
All relationships be it professional or personal require to grow. They also require to continuously innovate themselves, or in other words look for a spark. But that does not happen on its own? NO
It requires introspection, effort and communication. Also the willingness to make change and the realization that the change Often we do not know that change is forthcoming. We often are encountered by surprise, shock, and many more similes when suddenly someone else or something else brings about the required change that was expected. We see the change. The gloom change into fun. The seriousness change into laughter. Initially we enjoy but soon enough a part of us starts resisting.
That's when we are at crossroads.  On one hand the path that we have to choose requires us to change, to blend in, to upgrade ourselves, get in a newer version or make a choice. Whatever choice we make, we have to carry it close to our heart, all through our lives.
As C JoyBell C very rightly said
"Choose your battles wisely. After all, life isn't measured by how many times you stood up to fight. It's not winning battles that makes you happy, but it's how many times you turned away and chose to look into a better direction. Life is too short to spend it on warring. Fight only the most, most, most important ones, let the rest go.”

Too eager to share!!!

By Nupur Pandey -
I am a trainer and I love to train.. I am a supervisor and I love to supervise... I am a counselor and I love to counsel...... I am a teacher and I love to teach....... I am a mentor and I love to guide... I am experienced.. I love to share.... We often come across situations where we realise that we insist on sharing our knowledge. 'Gyan' as I call it. Our years of experience give us an edge over others or that is what we would like to believe, especially in a position where we manage people. I have been lucky. Whenever I am in a talking mood, there is someone who is in listening mood or so I presume. But more often than not, that might not always be the case. Just yesterday I was sitting with someone to share some of my experiences in order to help him deal with a situation. By virtue of being head of HR and his senior, he had no option but to listen to me as I advised him on how he needs to handle the situation, how he need to be the bigger person, etc. However the en...

Think out of the box...

By -
This one line has the potency to make people feel as if their mental faculties are constrained, chained or possibly prehistoric in its ability to comprehend, conceive and infer. I want to out-rightly and unabashedly admit that I have been through these feelings on occasions. At times, the feelings propelled by self   judgment   and on other occasions, set off by opinions and remarks of those around me. Let me attempt to dissect the title itself: ‘Think’ - *‘it i mplies the entrance of an idea into one's mind with or without deliberate consideration or reflection’. Multiple words can be associated with process ‘Think’ – Consider, Ponder, Remember, Anticipate, Reason, Meditate, Imagine…the list has many more. ‘Out’ - *‘it refers to a direction, or externality, or a movement. ‘Box’ - *it is a reference to a container, space or enclosure, with a well defined surface or boundary - whether this has a lid or not is immaterial. Based on above, to run a thread th...

Performance Management- The Soft Side

By Nupur Pandey -
Performance Management- the performance, the performer and the audience/ spectator. When we visualize a performance we see an act in action. The act is different from actor and that is what  performance management is all about. In our day to day usage from an absolute management perspective we often confuse between the act and the actor and more often that not, we work towards refining the act and some where in the process loose the actor. Recently while explaining what performance management is all about to a group of organization heads, I was supposed to provide them with possible solutions to the performance problems in the organization. I tried my level best but I dont think I could cater to all of their individual needs. Initially I was looking at processes to be established, but what was more intrinsic is the view towards performance management. Performance management is mostly looked upon as activity  management. So the focus is on the activity  that a person ...
