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.

In a very Dawn After the nuclear blackout, After the dusk of shoot- n-smoke… flourishes a bud of resurrection Not retrospecting But introspecting millions of intellect words Nourished by millions of civilizations… for the birth of the Best one, Having the fragrance of science with conscience for the beautiful garden of God. “Had the bud flourished before, Nothing would be to retrospect for!!

journey to the best B School

To start with ..i will take you to the D-day of being just another common student from Bihar, struggling to come in that elite group called IIM Grad. So the story actually started much before this 2009 February in kolkata. Last night was a bit cool as i was teaching my little niece who is in her early KG's..and bhabhi was scolding her.." uncle ko kal interview main yahi poochha jaayega...!!!" But my love to teach kept me awake and away from those pre-interview inconsistent thoughts. Next morning was quiet busy and after all possible preparations i saw an image in mirror which was well suited and fortunately the image looked smart and confident. The cab dropped me outside the venue and i was happy to see people from the same community the to be future leaders "- as other biggies generally name us. I met with people from different places and expectations and as per my style i relaxed the much tensed and heated waiting area. I went outside with couple of my new friends...

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.
