Team building activities for managers !!

You get into an organization and it make sure that you stay there and make the Organization efficient and profitable. The day starts when one finds himself/herself in a place which seems like a Gurukul of early times. Its the perfect time to keep all your second thoughts aside and reap the learning from nature. The corporates call it Outbound Training/learning. Its the time when one understands that he/she is an integral part of society and it is the ecosystem that gives life to this society and all of this come at no cost. Its just that little effort is required from our side to develop various skills and be socially sensitive towards our ecosystem. If less developed life-forms can learn these skill-sets to survive and sustain, so can we.

A variety of programs are offered by various institutions for corporate organization in the form of Outbound Training Package which helps each team member/ participant in learning skills like swift action, peoples skill and smart thinking. These are the prerequisites in this contemporary world to survive in any organizational setup. In areas that involve building interpersonal relationships, trust and bonding, communication of shared vision and goals, motivation, behavior modification in response to change, and personal effectiveness such programs can prove to be of great help .

My experience :
In the initial phase I saw a clear demarcation between the two groups that was formed. One was a set of people coming from an elite family of institution and probably this created a mental blockage in accepting others as a team. This wall hindered the "gel-in" track for others. And they were not accepting others as an integral and important part of team.

Then I observed a randomness being induced to the groups by the system and it resulted in a cross boundary transition. Also the very formal setup of interaction was diverging to a more informal and open setup. This resulted in a steady flow of energy in the system and this energy later on became the energy house/source for the entire system and it kept on producing results beyond the expectation of the individual members. Finally it proved that an individual needs such kind of setup to explore more about himself/herself. People are found to become more introspective and uninhibited, paving the way for a complete and effective learning process. After spending a few days in an outdoor situation, team members tend to bond together in a way that is impossible in an urban atmosphere having its attendant worries and stress. And this complete process resulted in a well knit environment and its key elements with a clear understanding of being in a team and significance of other team members in achieving the goal.

To Fly !!

I see a man a man not far away with a dream...!! dream to fly high, dream to be a hawk !! But to be a hawk ...one need streamlined wings And the will to take a risk...!! Risk of giving yourself to gravity, and wings the ability to fly high. He is not sure as to how high can he fly but shining stars fascinate him, though far away they look so close and accessible. I see those bright eyes they reminds me of " Arjun" from one of the epics !! So bright and focused Yet searching for something... or someone who can help them in seeing the not so seen And make possible what seems unpredictable and impossible. May the dream come true... and one can see that man fly deep in the sky !!

gets back !!

I have seen him busy in his day to day work-life preoccupied with what others expect from him (in general) and also to some extent with what he expects form him. Though, today morning he got an opportunity to socialize with  himself and set free the salesman in him from all the targets.  The high-flyer started searching something. Was is inside ? Or it got stolen !! Too late...for this was gone with last night storm. Why this happened to him. Why he has to suffer every time ? Why ? So he started from his home to find someone. Someone with all answers to not so often asked questions !!  ..And he moved between all possible places known to him. It was timeless expedition indeed !! I know he got something today morning !! And he is back. Back in this world to socialize with himself. He is the one for whom he waited so long. And he has answers.. answers to some of the questions. But is he happy now ? I doubt !! All I can say now is "Aam Aadmi ...

Poor Ministers: Part 1 (Dr. Manmohan Singh)

Indian Ministers I am starting this series to analyze the assets (and liabilities) declared recently by the cabinet ministers of India. This post would also highlight few of the interesting observations that came out from these documents. And to begin with, none other than our honorable Prime Minister can hold the number one position in this series. I am trying to focus on the position capabilities versus their declared assets /liabilities( if any) of various cabinet members.  Prime Minister of India (2011): Dr. Manmohan Singh (born  26 September 1932) The prime minister is the most senior minister of cabinet in the executive branch of government in a parliamentary system. He (/she) selects and can dismiss other members of the cabinet, allocates posts to members within the Government and is the presiding member & chairman of the cabinet and is responsible for bringing proposal of legislation. Dr. Manmohan Singh is among the few dignitary member...
