I love my..work!!!!!!!!



Wide-eyed enthusiasm and a craving for out-of-the-box defines Richard Branson.

How are you defined???

I am ready to define myself:

If you can answer this question, then you have taken the first step towards immortality.

But hey, this blog is all about being proud of the fact that we belong to the HR stream. So, where the hell does enligtenment figure in?

Simply because you can love your work to the max. only when you are aware of what you want to love about it.

These are just random thoughts of an emotional fool but for important inputs, read the next post.

HRD managers as CEOs





SO MANY PEOPLE TO
TRAIN AND DEVELOP?

THEY NEED OUR HELP.........









Good HRD managers are potential future CEOs. This is so for a variety of reasons:

1. Competent pole and thereby HRD is going to be the driver of future organizations in all sectors. So HR is going to be the future driver of corporations and nations. Good governance is HR, good governance will be due to people and good politicians will be people. Those who spot, motivate, develop and utilize people, therefore, are in a unique position to be CEOs.

2. In any corporation HRD and Finance& Accounts are two functions which flow through every part of the organiztion. Thus, those who head and handle HRD are in a unique position to know the entire organiztion and to steer it.

3. The past experiences of HR people successfully managing corporations have indicated this. Experiences at L&T(N.M. Desai, S.R. Subramaniam), TISCO(Rusi Modi), SAIL(M.R.R.Nair), ESCORTS-JCB(Arvind Agarwal), etc., have demonstrated this beyond doubt.

But HRD Managers aspiring to be CEOs should be business partners, change managers, systems-driven people and above all, people with leadership qualities(trustworthy, vision-driven, value-driven, transparent, etc.)

I hope you benfitted from this post.

More important than my CEO?


As an HR professional , you hold more in your hands than even your CEO. Why? Because the information that you hold in confidence has multidimensional implications for the company, its future prospects, its growth potential, and its position in the marketplace, and last, but not the least, for the effect that this has on the personal life of every one of your employees.

So, you have more power, even, than the local guy who just won a multinmillion-dollar lottery. Instead of sitting on a big bag of cash, you're sitting on a big bag of secrets: job oppurtunities, growth or downsizing plans, and a number of other detalis that directly influence people's peace of mind and their mortgage payments.

The decisions we make determines people's futures.
