I have always been a
great fan of workplace coz that’s where I found rejuvenation and I found life.
Like always I am also part of a big team of fourteen under four different structures
internally and we make us of the opportunity the normal as always.
We meet as a team every
week for our regular weekly team huddle and that’s where we discuss our day to
day analysis of the week and also discuss our plan for the upcoming weeks.
There was this one
week, when we sat for the usual huddle where the team decided to plan for a
newly migrated process into our workplace and there was this least expectation
to train at least eight of them in the battalion.
The Head informs that
there will be this eight of us who will get cross trained and the other two
will get to train to take care of the rest, and the remaining two will continue
to take care of the rest as there has been so much escalation leading to
financial loss because of them.
I t made me a bit angry
and I was quite upset about it, which made me realize? Where is true learning? How
do we define ourselves just because one doesn’t do work in a proper way? And only
when one gets a chance to learn something new? , then alone he/ she can make or
get a better chance to prove that one is capable to moving mountain, it
possibly made me understand where is the modern workplace leading? a basic
understanding is where are today’s leaders guiding the team members to?
True learning to define
is a way of life which comes where one that puts an extra step to get to know
something from the normal routine in which he or she is into leading the
ultimate goal of change. It is not a process of unlearning or relearning but a
way of life that one continues till eternity.
Learning doesn’t get
stopped just because one makes mistakes in life. We believe a known fact that
failure is also a stepping stone to success and that’s when we get
opportunities we get to move ahead in life, chances we take in life, we get to
prove who we are and it makes us special.
Now understanding, that
this is a common situation that happens in almost everywhere, we need to
understand that there arose a greater sense of understanding that leaders who
lead teams need to take note into, coz, no one is special and everyone is special
and motivating them to do the best matters a must.
The world at large is
so captivating and there is this common known fact of unequal society which we
have been talking for almost generations and it is no one else rather we who
have made it as we have found it.
As Young leaders it is time,
we need to be a little aware of our individuals whom we move along wherever we
are, and be more adaptive for life.
As leaders at
workplace, we need to be proactive in adapting what it takes to be a universal
leader one who portrays empathy as a priority and only when a just society is
born.
Our way of life is
adapted to where we started way a long time back, but is always matters to take
that extra eight steps than the usual two to reach the ultimate goal of
learning for life where everyone is given his/ her due to be there and to prove
that his strength which will benefit none the less where one supports.
