With the increasing trends of technology taking over human tasks, we see decreased human involvement in the work process. Artificial intelligence is also working as a command centre which takes care of research and surveys to analyse data and behaviour.  Considering all the above, what are that demands for human now. What is the need for a human in a system with the fast replacement of humans in the modern working systems? We have seen a movie called I, Robot in 2004, which depicted how technology is capable of replacing humans at cliche task even.  There is one area where technology has yet not evolved to replace humans, that is humanity. The emotional quotient of human yet to be replaced by technology and will take a while, however, to replace it either. There was era two decades back when the need of Personnel Managers to be Human Resource Managers considering the emotional concerns surfacing at work. Then a decade ago, these Human Resource Managers were identified to b...

The word vacation brings a bundle of different kind of memories, some priceless, some luxurious, some emotional, some ancestral, and many varied thoughts followed by it. As a child, my vacation was more about going to maternal places to stay, playing in heat getting tanned, playing indoor games, eating mangoes, experimenting new ideas and learning through various hobby classes. The list can go extensive as earlier it uses to be two months vacation in summers, as in India summers are typically too hot to bear in any part for the locals.  Being a mother to 7-year-old this time after years, I got to enjoy the vacation again in the same old way. Playing, watching TV, going swimming in heat, visiting friends and family, hosting friends and family, reading books, travelling, exploring new experiments to create some achievement memories and some disastrous to laugh over. As a working parent all these years, I realised what I have missed in the last six years.  It is small things yo...

Continuously, the major challenge faced by every organisation is the quality of leading that the leaders are doing. The scenario is changing dynamically at different levels, and today the leader will have to be very high on emotional intelligence. An exemplary example we have today is Prime Minister of India - Mr Narendra Modi. His leadership style has swept all the other so-called political leaders in a big way this election. What is that he did different to get such record-breaking win in 2019 election, where he broke his party own records of 2014. He when elected in 2014, his agenda was loud and clear, which was again and again hammered on citizens thoughts. To begin with his ideology in the same priority: 1) Emotional Intelligence: Mr Modi was apparent that he has to connect with people. As the population of the country has the power to change the scenario, all he needs to do is make them taste their power. He was successful in making this realisation through demonetisation. Th...

There are various types of people you come across, and each person has unique traits combinations of their-self. People might be like-minded, but they are not the same minded. The pattern in which each person looks at the same aspect gives a variety of dimensions to that particular aspect. Broadly we can categorise people in fives type. The combinations are going to be unique to make that person an individual. But, the category can outline the thought process.  Type 1 - Learner: These set of people believe firmly in learning, they are not sure where they will apply all this learning, but they're so driven by the idea of learning that they keep learning in any given situation. These set of personalities are also very optimistic as they do not see any threat as they enjoy the exploration process, hence are very straight forward in their dealings. Type 2 - Executor: These personalities are meticulous in their work. They believe in the perfection of work, their thoughts are generally...

With the competitive atmosphere in every sphere of life, what we miss to do is connect with people at the thought level. Human behaviour is a reflection of their thoughts. Hence, getting to know their thoughts is significant in any given situation; which gives an edge to see the purpose of the behaviour.  To know the thoughts asking the right questions is of prime importance. In situations where you want to see the person's clarity of aspect, you should ask questions like: - How much time do you wish to invest? - What output are you expecting? - Do you have any benchmark to the output? - Have you analysed challenges to the process? - What tools & resources you are looking to utilise? Have you made arrangements for it? If the process is relating to you directly as a manager, you should ask: - What kind of supervision you expect? - Do you understand the significance of the contribution to the project When you want to understand the thought behind an already executed project, yo...

Professionals in today time are difficult to find. The resource market with changing dynamics have turned to be so that, seeing everything in a resource is becoming a low chance. In this scenario, what takes priority attitude or approach - a philosophy that defines your willingness, demands of the job role or strategy to get the results.  What is that can be compromised? In case if the attitude is not optimistic, the resource will not give you the output that is required, as than willing to work is not available. If the approach of taking a decision is not in line with management expectations, then the decisions made will not give the output required. What can output management decide to compromise? How to decide what is more significant - the willingness to work or rightfulness of work. Is any of the one in discussion a factor to be compromised? Both have a direct impact on the output. In that case, what aspect can be chosen from both or both are must, and you can let go of the...

Indian society has been through so many hues. The palate, in the beginning, had only greys which with time have seen the complete range of the rainbow. The diversity of the country brings a variety of cultures and beliefs, along with the democratic nature of the constitution.  With globalisation and at par operations, the exposure to the outside world is unlimited. With this exposure, the filters are not applied due to flexibility and adaptability. A classic example of bad parenting as I may say. Parent teaching children to explore and not teaching them to grasp only what is right. Now here for a country who is the parent? It is our culture, heritage, beliefs and traditions. Unfortunately, all these are considered as orthodox thoughts now. And being orthodox is being out of fashion.  Today, one of the burning issues of Indian society is divorce or adultery. Let's go to the first step of marriage. As per the decade-old survey, 95% of marriages in India were arranged against t...
