Be it Infosys or Tata , change of guards is never easy. Even people like Ratan tata or Narayana Murthy feel emotional pressure. They don't want to give free hand to next generation. With age possessiveness increases and capability decreases. Smooth transition is rare. Leg pulling starts in family / corporate. Emotionalism takes over logic. People fight for small -2 things. Growth stagnates. We focus on other’s move. Ego, jealousy, pride, or hate, all negative emotions take over mind of both giver and taker. This is common problem and every home/family have to face it.

3 khans have been ruling Bollywood for past many years. Despite in their 50’s they are doing great in very competitive field. Every day , new face comes in Bollywood but replacing them is nearly impossible till now. This is not luck. This is hard work, branding, sweat, and well thought strategy. They know their audience well and deliver consistently year after year. All 3 are not best build or best looked like their young counterpart but know their art of survival well. We can learn something from them

Review time is nearby. Companies will fit their employees in a curve and will brand them performers and non-performers. And afterwards, work equations will change. Excellent will celebrate and some will slow down too as objective has been met. Angry birds will protest and will look out for better options. Emotional dynamics of teams will change. Some known and some unknown bias will come out. Ultimately, work will slow down.

No one can measure loyalty, integrity, talent and efforts. Faces decides grades here.

“Informer is the best performer “

Few days back I came across one whatsapp message about Aamir khan’s suggestion about three different parenting styles

Both are important, we need both. Success is seductive. It comes in form of big tag , designation and big status. It fuel social prestige. Very few can maintain it. Or, very few can deliver consistently in same situation, environment, or company. Success may be impulsive. One interview, one product, one website, one book or one song, may make you overnight star. Many people fail in sustenance. Success brings huge expectations and if you fail to deliver , people look for alternatives.

Conflicts are part of life. Hindu mythology has one chapter of “Samundra Manthon”. It says to achieve Laxmi , you have to go through conflicts. They are not easy. Sometimes, it is emotional war with self. It may be with your loved one. No family or team is ideal. Goody -2 team works in management books not in real world.

Conflicts are good and should be used for innovation. We mostly defuse conflicts for peace of team or family. Defusing them leads to bigger emotional burden. Delay leads to accumulation of emotional scar. It may lead to depression.

DeMonetization is key word in India now. In very large organization or country, some decisions you have to take. Calculate risk and reward and just do it  Two recent big decisions on Indian government are being hailed - Surgical strikes and DeMonetization. Organization can learn many things from it.

There are two types of egos- individual and organizational. No EGO is good. It kills innovation. It creates POWER centers. Reduce organizational flexibility. Any new idea will hit a new power regime.

Organization fails to realize opportunities and risk. Bureaucracy takes over.  Microsoft was big example. Despite having huge money, they failed to create facebook, whatsapp, twitter etc. Their hired best brain but did not allow them freedom to innovate. In an ego-less company, people debate the ideas irrespective of where it came from.
