Have Humans Really Evolved?

Image
It is such an interesting fact that today we are finding the need to educate people with few basic lifestyle patterns. Trainers are getting needs to explain to people why eating & eating right is a necessity—teaching people the right way to sleep and why sleeping is a human biological need. The significance of body fitness is more than financial fitness. Family life balance is a bigger priority than your bank balance. During primitive age, people assets were their families, and then survival was of the fittest. Humans, then despite no education and ignorance towards advanced ways of life, knew the basics of human biology. They knew how to preserve the environment & surroundings to maintain the habitat. Today humans have grown in multi-fold to understand the science behind the living, yet they are becoming more and more ignorant of the right lifestyle. How practical & useful is the theoretical knowledge for the greater good of human species? Has this more information hel...

Is judging required?

Image
Judging a person has always been an unsaid rule since we got into dealings of any kind. Nature of transaction is irrelevant, but the judgment of the person with whom you are dealing is significant. Is it necessary? Can we overcome our instinct and be more conscious in our thoughts? Why is it required? 1) One's probable behaviour (acceptance or appreciation or rejection or criticism) 2) Our action impact (the result of our action) Acceptance and appreciation is a human most desired feeling, although many times our actions are not judged as we intend. In the same way, we want to analyse beforehand the outcome of any of our activity, as we want to create the right judgement about us. As the cliche goes "depend on others & you will go hungry." Why are you looking for a review of others? What makes you the righteous to judge anyone? Do you judge yourself? If you start that, you will term it as self-criticism, isn't it? So when you are judging yourself, you call it ...

Technology or Human - What drives you?

Image
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...

What you did last summer?

Image
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...

Leadership Traits - First Set

Image
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...

How to deal with different types of people?

Image
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...

Right Question for Right Answer

Image
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...
