    प्रतिस्पर्धा आज सुबह दौड़ते हुए, एक व्यक्ति को देखा। मुझ से आधा किलोमीटर आगे था। अंदाज़ा लगाया कि मुझ से थोड़ा धीरे ही भाग रहा था। एक अजीब सी खुशी मिली। मैं पकड़ लूंगा उसे, यकीं था। मैं तेज़ और तेज़ दौड़ने लगा। आगे बढ़ते हर कदम के साथ, मैं उसके करीब पहुंच रहा था। कुछ ही पलों में, मैं उससे बस सौ क़दम पीछे था। निर्णय ले लिया था कि मुझे उसे पीछे छोड़ना है। थोड़ी गति बढ़ाई। अंततः कर दिया। उसके पास पहुंच, उससे आगे निकल गया। आंतरिक हर्ष की अनुभूति, कि मैंने उसे हरा दिया। बेशक उसे नहीं पता था कि हम दौड़ लगा रहे थे। मैं जब उससे आगे निकल गया, एहसास हुआ कि दिलो-दिमाग प्रतिस्पर्धा पर इस कद्र केंद्रित था....... कि…. घर का मोड़ छूट गया मन का सकून खो गया… आस-पास की खूबसूरती और हरियाली नहीं देख पाया, ध्यान लगाने और अपनी खुशी को भूल गया और… तब समझ में आया, यही तो होता है जीवन में !!! जब हम अपने साथियों को, पड़ोसियों को, दोस्तों को, परिवार के सदस्यों को, प्रतियोगी समझते हैं। उनसे बेहतर करना चाहते हैं। प्रमाणित करना चाहते हैं कि हम उनसे अधिक सफल हैं। या अधिक महत्वपूर्ण। बहुत महंगा पड़ता है ye sab… क्योंकि अपनी खुशी भूल जाते हैं। अपना समय और ऊर्जा उनके पीछे भागने में गवां देते हैं। इस सब में अपना मार्ग और मंज़िल भूल जाते हैं। भूल जाते हैं कि नकारात्मक प्रतिस्पर्धाएं कभी ख़त्म नहीं होंगी। हमेशा कोई आगे होगा। किसी के पास बेहतर नौकरी होगी। बेहतर गाड़ी, बैंक में अधिक रुपए, अधिक जायदाद, ज़्यादा पढ़ाई, खूबसूरत पत्नी, ज़्यादा संस्कारी बच्चे, बेहतर परिस्थितियां और बेहतर हालात। इस सब में एक एहसास ज़रूरी है कि बिना प्रतियोगिता किए, हर इंसान श्रेष्ठतम हो सकता है। असुरक्षित महसूस करते हैं चंद लोग कि अत्याधिक ध्यान देते हैं दूसरों पर कहां जा रहे हैं? क्या कर रहे हैं? क्या पहन रहे हैं? क्या बातें कर रहे हैं? जो है, उसी में खुश रहो। लंबाई, वज़न या व्यक्तित्व। स्वीकार करो और समझो कि कितने भाग्यशाली हो। ध्यान नियंत्रित रखो। स्वस्थ, सुखद ज़िन्दगी जीओ। भाग्य में कोई प्रतिस्पर्धा नहीं है। सबका अपना-अपना है। तुलना और प्रतियोगिता हर खुशी को चुरा लेते‌ हैं। अपनी शर्तों पर जीने का आनंद छीन लेते हैं। इस लिए अपनी दौड़ खुद लगाओ, बिना किसी प्रतिस्पर्धा के. ...

  • Reasons for Attrition

    Reasons for Attrition
    May 29 2022

    Major reasons for Attrition in organizations. Be aware and bring it to minimize the same.

    Employee turnover is expensive. While some turnover can be expected, poor management can cause the normal turnover to climb to an excessive level.

    Employee turnover can cost an organization 33 percent of an employee’s total compensation, including wages and benefits. The impact, however, is not only financial; it also adversely affects employee morale. Although hard to quantify, poor morale results in a domino effect that negatively impacts efficiency and effectiveness.

    Obviously, it’s important for organizations to reduce turnover rates. However, in order to reduce these rates, organizations must first understand the main reasons employees leave for other positions. Good people don’t leave good organizations—they leave poor managers!

  • OKR v/s KPI

    OKR v/s KPI
    May 5 2022

    OKRs stands for “Objectives and Key Results.” It is a collaborative goal-setting methodology used by teams and individuals to set challenging, ambitious goals with measurable results. OKRs are how you track progress, create alignment, and encourage engagement around measurable goals.

    OKRs are typically written with an Objective at the top and 3 to 5 supporting Key Results below it. They can also be written as a statement:

    I will (Objective) as measured by (Key Results).

    For example, “I will fix the website for the vast majority of people as measured by 7 out of 10 people being able to get through, a 1 second response time, and a 1% error rate.”

    An Objective is simply what is to be achieved, no more and no less. By definition, objectives are significant, concrete, action-oriented, and (ideally) inspirational. When properly designed and deployed, they’re a vaccine against fuzzy thinking and ineffective execution.

    Key Results benchmark and monitor how we get to the Objective. Effective KRs are specific and time-bound and aggressive yet realistic. Most of all, they are measurable and verifiable. You either meet a key result’s requirements or you don’t; there is no gray area, no room for doubt. At the end of the designated period, typically a quarter, we do a regular check and grade the key results as fulfilled or not.

    Where an Objective can be long-lived, rolled over for a year or longer, Key Results evolve as the work progresses. Once they are all completed, the Objective is achieved.
