Apna Sapna Money Money?

Image result for Money Money imagesSo I happen to ask a young executive. What is it that you want to do in life. Pat came the reply. 'Apna sapna money money.' Wasn't really surprised as this is the call for today. All of us yearn and want to earn. Infact its the easier indicator. Met another young executive, who was wanting to start his entrepreneurial venture with the same sapna. He had all his gears ready and spoke the right words. I was introduced to him to become part of the advisory board.

So while I sit there listening to the pitch and the preparation, I am also thinking to myself; is money the real value add that these youth are looking at. Not just from the perspective of value add to the client they would be servicing but also the value add to their own lives.

I have always resonated with the statement that Money is a by product. But you have to ensure that you get the service right. Rest everything is paraphernalia. However it is easy to get lost  to think that well since everyone says its money and since everyone is showing me greens let me take it.

Identify early on in life what you want. Don't wait till you are 40 to regret that I wish someone had guided me to take a better career path. Can't Make up your mind , don't fret. It will come to you. And bottom line and most important, your sapna can be money as long as you are sure this is what you need to lead an enriching life. A happy life.

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 ...
