Goal Setting as a Mechanism for Growth: How?

Big Question.. Isn't it? But Answer is pretty simple. Many at times goal setting is done in organizations only to ensure appraisal process runs smoothly - But inclusive of this managers can take few points into consideration while structuring this document.

• :Discuss with team member on his/her long term goals
• : Every Employee would make few plans in their personal life - align them professionally as well - sounds ridiculous but does wonders - Personal Life is biggest factor that can either motivate or demotivate any human professionally
• : Biggest Strengths you have observed for a period of time about the employee - check their viewpoints on the same and align their goals accordingly. I know I am good with it , It will give me confidence to grow from within.

Restless Mind... Conquering all Odds

Why are we so restless?

Our hands are fidgety when typing - when trying to open a new website - even to type something on the phone - alas the smartphones where the touch plays the role - we are still restless

Is it the mind or our hands? In today's mad chaotic life we are losing the primary aspect of 'being there'. Ahem Ahem -- TOO PHILOSOPHICAL.

• I was sitting yesterday in the balcony watching a group of children playing a football - everyone else were running and only 1 was standing and waiting. I went on following their game for quite some time - realized suddenly the essential management funda. If everyone runs - who will sit back and evaluate. If everyone evaluates then who will run. Do we have a good mix today? Can't be judgmental about it but I feel NO. As you scale up the ladder - Realization dawns about the same.
• Quality nowadays is the prerogative for everyone. Every single person wants quality - be in personal / professional / music / movies absolutely anything. 

•  What is the chemistry - everyone talks about chemistry nowadays . Actual chemistry should be between family members -  between friends - between team members - between manager and subordinates - between domestic helps and housemates - between regular helpers and homemakers - between children and children. All that is Lacking today as everyone's busy in their own little worlds. 

May be if we focus our minds on right time and right thing.. hmm - random thoughts again.
