Inquisitive approach of talents often create problem in knowledge industries. Its a "Cat on the Wall" situation for the managers, if the managers fail to live up to their expectation!

कितना असहनीय होता है,करना                                  वैरागी से प्यार. मन हो जाता व्यथित,करता                                  सबकुछ उस पर वार. न कुछ पाने की आस,पर                                  गहरा उस पर विस्वास. जी करता है बनाऊं एक मन्दिर,                                 जिसमें सदा हो उसका वास. सुख-दुःख,पीड़ा,उल्लास बाँटू सबकुछ,पर                                  रहूँ सदा उसी के पास.                                                                                                                   [2/01/07] -Nandini g

Co-author: Bill Hall Abstract Big changes are happening in today’s workforce. These changes have nothing to do with downsizing, global competition, or stress; it is the problem of a distinct generation gap. Young people entering the workforce are of diversified background and have much different attitudes about work. They want a life‐work balance. They want to be led, not managed — and certainly not micro‐managed. The new mode is flexibility and informality. A large proportion of our managers of the veteran era have been trained in relatively autocratic and directive methods that don’t sit well with today’s employees. Are we preparing our workforce to meet tomorrow’s need? Why do so many Re...

Hi Friends, Last month I had a meeting with one of my old friends, who is now VP–HR in a fairly large IT setup. He informed me that he is planning to lay off a couple of hundred people in his company, in a phased manner. What surprised me was that he mentioned that out of them around 80% are ‘difficult employees’.  I wondered aloud what was his definition of a ‘difficult employee’. What he told me was interesting and forms the basis of this post. “In every department/organization there are few people who are arrogant, demeaning (to others), insubordinate, not trustworthy, (always) cribbing and unproductive. And these employees are a huge drain for an organization in terms of wasted time, reduced productivity, inefficiency, and ultimately resulting in customer loss.” I again asked him as to why did the team, then not take precautions while hiring? He said these are traits and sometimes it is difficult to observe them during an interview. You get to know about them only from...
