Team Dynamics (Individual Vs Team)

To start with what is fact, there are very few companies in the Software world, who measure team performance, rather keep individual performance as a factor to reward / penalize. An Individual performance can be a good measure to look as a view point , but a success of one note of a chain cannot make the chain strong, all have to be similar strong to keep it best.

In MNC’s based on my experience, I see, individual performances highlighted as rewards, and other team associates being left out. I really fail to understand, how an individual from a team  can be successful while the whole team might be looked as not achieving the benchmark.

If that’s the case,  we propagate, Individual performance to be strong, and kill the thing which is more important called as “Team Dynamics”.

In the world of programs, portfolios, project, enterprises we want to live in a world of co-working and integrated teams, but what it’s leaning towards looks very scary.

What should I perceive this to “Leadership failure”, “Management Failure”.

Enough of me putting the facts on to the table, which look a huge problem in itself.

It’s Time to be successful enterprises, we need to inculcate, successful cohesively working teams with genius team dynamics.

Question is how to implement this. Here is my recipe:

• Stop the Halo effect, anyone can be a team leader, we need the right attitude.
• Need to develop team values where success is measured in team dynamics, not Individual super-fast runners.
• Responsibility towards team, not towards individuals
• Not to demotivate star performers, but change star performers to  work as star teams.
• No matter what you excel in, what you are good at, the outlook has to change is how you contribute to strengthen the weak links. This will help flourish great teams, great team leaders, great project managers and great enterprises to work with.
• Stop the pushing game, no blame only fame. Your team is your path to success, not your individual performance.

I know it looks so easy to state it, but it’s a real strength to implement it and keep the enterprise culture intact.

FOUR YOGA’S IN HUMAN LIFE

As, stated in THE BHAGWAT GITA in every human life is bound with FOUR YOGA’S namely:

                                                                                    KARMA YOGA

This YOGA symbolizes, that any sort of work which ever carried in your life is a work devoted to the supreme god. Whatever, work carried out, is considered to be a prayer done to GOD. This turns all the SAKAAM KARMA to NISHKAAM KRAMA.

                                                                  *******************************

                                                                                      GYAAN YOGA

This YOGA symbolizes to know the form of GOD through spiritual knowledge. Attaining that spiritual knowledge brings you more CLOSE and FAMILIAR to GOD. This in our Scriptures is termed as AADHYAATMA GYAAN (Knowing the form of GOD) and recognizing that in every human soul is a form of GOD himself. This YOGA helps every human to see all other human beings as form of GOD. Gyaani sees all as equal .This is the toughest form of YOGA.

                                                                ********************************

                                                                                     BHAKTI YOGA

Devotion to GOD thru Bhajans, Hymns, Chants, and Poems etc. is termed as Bhakti. BHAKTI YOGA is the one where human develops the all his relation with GOD. There was a Great statement in “THE BHAGVAD GITA “IF you consider every relation similar to relation between you and GOD, you will never be touched by MOHA”.

                                                                 *********************************

                                                                              SHARNAAGATI YOGA

This YOGA is the easiest form of all the FOUR YOGA. I am your devotee, I am in your SHARAN. Whatever good or bad happens to me, you (THE SUPREME GOD) are the one to carry this out. I put myself to your SHARAN. This way the Human soul makes GOD as controller of his life. To put as an EXAMPLE:

On the last Day of MAHABHARATA YUDHA.LORD KRISHNA asked ARJUNA to be off the CHARRIOT before he gets down. As, LORD KRISHNA gets off from the CHARRIOT, the CHARRIOT bursts to fire and flames. ARJUNA asks KRISHNA what’s the mystery. LORD KRISHNA says, till this moment, he (LORD KRISHNA) was the controller of this CAHRRIOT.As I formally take my control out of this CHARRIOT, this is in flames.

Similarly, till the time GOD is controller of your life, you are safe, as this control is lost, your life is in flames. GOD is the utmost Savior of All beings.

   “I AM A FIRM BELIEVER AND SUPPORTER OF SHRANAAGATI YOGA-JAI SHRI KRISHNA”

THE PHOENIX ON EARTH:

A place on the mother earth, which surges with Life, Prosperity, Love, Beauty and the perfection to work, we who know this place as “THE LAND OF RISING SUN”, "THE GREAT JAPAN".

Sitting on the most earthquake prone zone of the earth, this place and the people living in Japan have a real strength which makes me believe "LIFE WINS OVER DEATH". The most hard working race on this earth, with honesty, with perfection, with so many natural calamity concerns, with love, these people live with a great zeal to life. I in my heart salute these people.

FIRST: They  were struck  by the human destruction(Nuclear attack).When Phoenix turned into ashes, but people living in this country, were up with life to achieve again the great strength to work hard, develop the honesty, have love and beauty around. Soon we saw the Shining JAPAN back on the planet earth.

SECOND: They were struck by Natural Destruction (Tsunami, Nuclear Calamity).This again strikes these people, but in my heart, I believe JAPAN will again rise as a Shining star.

It seems both Human race and Mother Nature has tested THE JAPAN and people living there.

God bless the Country of rising sun "THE JAPAN".
