Corporate Musings

The most invaluable but intangible asset of an organization is the bond of attachment its people develop for it. And it is the organisation’s approach that develops and strengthens or weakens this bond of attachment. All successful companies attach a lot of importance to this maxim.

A job gets elevated as a career only when the employee gets emotionally attached to it. While a job is a mere engagement for getting paid, career is much more than that – the employee links his future with his career, not the job. That explains the difference.

Job satisfaction becomes a reality when and only when the employee sets high performance goals for himself / herself and achieves them against all odds. The satisfaction which the achievement of own goals gives has no parallels.

Being trustworthy, confident, loyal and hardworking are the most essential work place standards for employees, for, when these are there, everything else just falls in place.

Good leadership requires you to surround yourself with people of diverse perspectives who can disagree with you without fear of retaliation.

Employee engagement is the art and science of engaging people in authentic and recognized connections to strategy, roles, performance, organization, community, relationships, customers, development, energy and happiness to leverage, sustain and transform work into results.

A hallmark of a healthy creative corporate culture is that its people feel free to share ideas, opinions, and criticisms. Lack of candour, if unchecked, ultimately leads to dysfunctional environments.

A team aligned behind a vision will move mountains. Sell them on your roadmap and don’t compromise — care about the details, the fit and finish.

The greatest assets of an organisation are employees who rise to the occasion and strive their best when the organisation passes through difficult days. The converse is equally true; if employees become insensitive to its bad phase, they become the most hazardous liability of the organisation.
