Yesterday was a day of Learning...both for personal and
professional life scenarios...Started off with pretty usual things like getting
up late…spending lots of time with mails etc…As decided yesterday, I called up
Rekha pretty much to hear from her and give her some convincing replies on what
went wrong between us…Lot of things we talked over and carefully not touching
upon some of the serious issues. I pretty much tried to avoid giving explanations
for any of the particular incidents.
At the end of conversation, I made a
comment saying I would like to come to Madiwala before she board the bus…and
that’s when she told me that don’t mention anything of that sort…When you make
a statement “I wanted to do something…but whatever reasons I couldn’t do the
same”, it completely makes no sense to mention the same and when you repeat such
statements quite often what comes to the people’s mind is only irritation
rather than belief. The trust is lost next time when you mention something like
I’ll do and people may start thinking that you would definitely come up with
some reasons for not doing the same. That gave me a good lesson on the
commitment. This clearly shows that I lack commitment in whatever I say and do.
Our big boss GsOs goes like Do/Say
should always be ONE. If this is less than ONE then that’s over-commitment and I see clearly that’s what is happening these
days in both personal and professional sides...
Evening I had attended a panel discussion on the Disruptive
Cost by Industry/academic big heads. Startled by their knowledge and the
discussion points. The closing lines on the discussion by each of them on GE’s
Business strategy meant a lot for me as well.
- Technology is no longer the differentiator…Need to look for providing the solutions
- Need to understand the Eco-system and the impact
- Improve the comfort for the clients and be open and greeting
- Execution of the bigger project with multiple resources is really challenging…but that’s a key to success.
I feel these above statements are true to any organization
and to any aspiring individual as well. I think Yesterday was a day of Learning…
