Welcome to this week's blog on the intersection of corporate facts and geopolitics. Here are some of the top stories from the past week:

• Apple faces backlash in China: Apple has come under fire in China for its decision to ban a podcast app that featured content related to the ongoing protests in Hong Kong. The move has been seen as capitulation to Chinese censorship, and has sparked a backlash against the company in China, which is a key market for Apple. The incident highlights the challenges faced by multinational corporations in navigating the complex geopolitical landscape of China.

• Iran faces economic pressure: The United States has imposed new sanctions on Iran, targeting the country's financial sector and its oil exports. The move is part of a broader effort by the Trump administration to increase economic pressure on Iran and force it to change its behavior on issues such as nuclear proliferation and support for terrorism. The sanctions are likely to have significant economic impacts, and could also have geopolitical repercussions by further destabilizing the Middle East.

• Facebook's political ad policies: Facebook has announced new policies governing political advertising on its platform ahead of the 2020 US presidential election. The policies require political ads to include disclaimers about who paid for them, and also give users the ability to see all ads being run by a particular political candidate or group. The move is aimed at increasing transparency around political advertising on Facebook, which has been criticized in the past for its lack of transparency on this issue.

• Saudi Aramco IPO: Saudi Arabia's state-owned oil company, Saudi Aramco, is planning an initial public offering (IPO) later this year. The IPO is expected to be the largest in history, and could raise up to $100 billion. The move is part of Saudi Arabia's efforts to diversify its economy away from oil, and could have significant geopolitical implications by increasing the country's economic power and influence.

These are just a few of the many examples of the ways in which corporate facts and geopolitics are intertwined. As multinational corporations continue to operate in an increasingly complex and interconnected world, they will need to navigate these issues with care and diligence. Stay tuned for next week's blog, which will cover more developments in this dynamic and ever-changing landscape

Discounted Responsibilities

Discounted Responsibilities

In our daily lives, we often come across situations where we have certain responsibilities that we tend to neglect or delay. This phenomenon is commonly known as "discounted responsibilities." Discounted responsibilities are tasks that we put off or delay because they are not urgent or do not carry immediate consequences. However, over time, these neglected responsibilities can accumulate and lead to significant problems.

The act of discounting our responsibilities is a form of procrastination. We tend to focus on the present moment and prioritize tasks that provide immediate gratification, while neglecting tasks that require effort and time but have long-term benefits. For instance, we may choose to binge-watch our favorite show on Netflix instead of doing our homework or going to the gym.

The consequences of discounted responsibilities can range from minor inconveniences to severe problems. For example, neglecting to pay bills on time can result in late fees and damage to our credit scores. Similarly, procrastinating on completing a project can result in missed deadlines, poor performance, and even job loss.

One effective way to avoid discounted responsibilities is to establish a system of accountability. This can include setting goals, deadlines, and consequences for not meeting them. For example, if we want to start exercising regularly, we can set a goal of going to the gym three times a week and enlist a friend or family member to hold us accountable.

Another way to avoid discounted responsibilities is to break tasks into smaller, more manageable steps. This can make them less daunting and more achievable. For instance, if we need to clean our entire house, we can break the task into smaller steps such as cleaning one room at a time.

In conclusion, discounted responsibilities can have serious consequences if left unaddressed. By establishing accountability and breaking tasks into smaller steps, we can avoid the pitfalls of procrastination and stay on top of our responsibilities. It is important to remember that every task, no matter how small, contributes to our overall well-being and success.

Corporate Facts- Chapter- 3 (Top 05 Question Asked During Interview and comeback answers)

Top 05 Question Asked During Interview and comeback answers 

I have this blog waiting to be published, As i have to share my Personal Experience in interview questions. As I have spent almost a decade long in my journey, I have faced  a Few interviews, discussion and interaction. In my point of view some are very common and some are very different.  Henceforth i had decided to share it with you. Hope you can find this interesting.

Question- 1 : Tell me about your Self in one line.    

Analysis: This Question shows your answering capabilities and how you Evaluate yourself is the most important. Nobody can introduce himself/herself better than him/herself. henceforth the answer must be specific and not very lengthy.  

Answer:  Well I have been working in the service industry since last 05 years as Senior Executive and i have very good exposure in other industries and various disciplines which combines total experience  of 15 years total, my major skills focuses on project Management, Contract and client Management. 

Thought & Reasoning: In one line you can say a lot about yourself without even thinking hard, cause the interviewer has your Credential checked, may be reviewed your CV/Resume thoroughly. Interviewer wants to see how confident you are in your answer.    

Question -2: If you have been selected today, what is the first thing you do? 

Analysis: This is the Tricky question, most candidates talk about informing their Parents, friends, and talking to colleagues. And this is the most vulnerable moment for yourself. Because this is  a psychological question. Because it shows how you can think logically in the situation. 

Answer: Well sir/ Madam, then I will be grateful to you for my selection and and thanks you very much for it, but rather than talking about it we should move forward to do the process further to my selection and discuss it deeply about my roles and responsibilities and compensation.  

Thought & Reasoning:  When you are asked about the selection, don’t jump to the conclusion easily, rather than thinking about other things, think first that, you are in a middle of a finalization the deal of your life, which shows your compassion and situation awareness, in which you will fails to do analyze easily, selection or any deal only finalized when you have gone for Contract/ written proposal, without it you had blow your chance, henceforth be realistic for your answers.  

Question -3 :   Where Do You See Yourself in Five Years?  

Analysis: This the most common and trickery question about your evaluation in an interview.   Because this question shows how confident you are about your future steps. 

Answer: I am Seeing myself a reliable and trustworthy employee, Handling, challenging assignments at Senior Position and keep learning and educating myself with skills developments. 

If interviewer still insists about your clear goals then you can say a with confident about your goals but not the irrelevant and crazy quotes.  

For  Example: If you say i want to be CEO of the company in the next five years and you have just graduated from college, people may not believe in you but may laugh at you. Henceforth  please keep it simple and realistic. If you want to be specific about any position then thick calmly and answer logically. 

Question-4 : What Do You Think Of Your Last Boss ?

Analysis: Thought & Reasoning:: This is another trapping question to reveal loyalty about yourself. If you say very negatively about your former boss or superior than you are considered biased and disloyal to our superior, even if your boss was a horrible and bad person, you can’t say a bad word about him/her in your interview. Only discuss positive outcomes and achievement about your boss and yourself. 

Answer:  I was very fortunate to work with my boss who was very good at work, He taught me the importance of sticking to deadlines and motivated me to perform at my best. I’m much better at time management as a result of working with him, and I’m really grateful for the opportunity to have him as an employer. 

Question-5 : Your current organization is far better than us, why do you want to join our organization ? 

Analysis: The most fundamental logic to ask this question is how you are comfortable in the next employment which is smaller in operation. Everybody has a reason to choose  his/her next employment, but joining the smaller organization has a different endgame, henceforth the answer must be specific and oriented. 

Answer: Good Question Sir, I belong to an organization which has a large no of operation and huge set ups to work with and we are very good at what we are doing.  But i have a limitation in scope of work where personal and knowledge growth is not that much as i am seeking, fundamentally you have to work in the same division and same process has be followed, which has almost no room of creativity and freedom, which binds me in a very repetitive routine which can kill my enthusiasm and competitive nature, your organization is a smaller than us but in your organization i can perform better as more challenging and creative way to do perform the assignment. Which is the only reason to join your organization.   

Thought & Reasoning:  working  a small or medium organization is not a big deal, but sometimes your creativity, Freedom of Expression and, satisfaction matters the most. That's why many creative people choose this way for their own satisfaction.  

Hope you like it and you can share your interaction also. If you like this article pls comment and let me know  because based on your Feedback 2nd part will be published soon. 

Workplace bullying- New Era of Autocracy

In today's corporate world we have often found our self in Humiliating situation,  when our seniors occasionally intentionally troll ourselves Openly just prove their authority over us.

I think you have encountered this kind of similar situation in your entire career for you may be facing the situation currently at your job.Smacking down Verbally without any cause it's just like a fashion is a corporate nowadays just to prove a point and showing off. 

I call them corporate  bully,  you heard it right,  corporate Bully is a new age of bossism, you can now call these days,  often you have found that you are in the middle of unwanted situation when your senior, your boss is verbally abusing you without even knowing that reason. This is a classic example of  corporate bullying.  just think about it, you come on and from the weekend and you are started to organizing your Monday’s priority list, you are about to catch your daily list to be prepared, you are clearing your weekends pending task and you are preparing for a new fresh weekdays planning and suddenly your boss comes out of Nowhere and started to blame You about it not clearing your pending  assignment for week.  you know that you had been already cleared your previous week's assignments on Friday evening and there is nothing  pending on your  desk. 

This is a classic example of control freak,  control freak just want to control everything,  they wants to control that teammates,  subordinates, juniors, even they want to control the clients also. These Control freaks openly try to dominate their down-line with verbal abuse, They just want to show from the beginning of the week, that they are in the control of everything. 

This kind of person who doesn't have faith on their teammates, juniors, they always shows that that they are running the show,they constantly make the feeling for their down-line that they are incompetent to handle such a great assignments that he or she has to interfere in each and every step of the process and the escalate the matter and to Expedite the process.  This people can’t Trust  their own down-line. Openly in the process they they try to dominate the team by why verbally abusing and creating unnecessary scene.  because they cannot trust the people with the task and they constantly lives in a state of denial, that their team is not adequate enough to handle the  assignments.  

if Manager think that his or her team  has not adequate capability to handle  the task,  then as a manager uh he or she have to be a identify the weaknesses of  team and must have to try to empower them, educate them in the process, which is sufficiently gives the confidence to the down-line, that they can run the show with their Guidance. instead of that not empowerment or corrective actions, he or she just simply choose to not to listen & goes back to the defense mechanism.  they always claiming that their team is not sufficient. 

This is the also one of the main reason when employee is  humiliated  again and again in the  name of the process. 

The Other kind of  persons who is constantly Abusing their teammates in their down-line just to show that he or she is the senior. This kind of persons want to shows off the title and their power whenever they see the audience. 

Kind of persons are abusing their power just to do please themselves with this feelings of the self satisfaction of  victimizing the others. 

They just want to keep finding flaws and errors in your assignments & in your daily Routine jobs. For example if you don't say him or her good morning when they come to your desk immediately tell you that you are rude and unpleasantly subordinate, who doesn't have a time to  greeting to their seniors. 

this kind of persons are always on a power trip and always want to show that he or she is the manager, the CEO, or  for superior person in the organisation for which everybody has to fear of him or her. 

This kind of atmosphere is no longer helpful to the productive culture of the organisation because when employee is under constant pressure of humiliating, at any moment employees cannot focus on the task precisely and when some some of the seniors Keep checking on them self around every 15 minutes with the progress of the task,employees find themselves locked in a cage, they cannot Express their feelings or cannot escape the jail,  this leads a moral fatigue & falling down the employees. 

workplace bullying is the main reason where employees found themselves to quit their services and go outside. 

workplace bullying is is the common practice in the organisation when, in the environment open communication is not made,when the seniors are all already hearing from the one side, they don't want to communicate with that down and they are not open for the discussion, don't want to take inputs, they want to act like a director of the company and doesn't want to change because their defense mechanism not allowing themselves to change. 

The major research shows majority tactics of a corporate bullying is as follows.

Corporate Facts, Chapter -2 Hiring people nowadays is not an easy job

Hiring people order recruiting people for the right task nowadays is not an easy job. Because nowadays people are much smarter and much focus and much goal oriented. The scenario is different from a decade ago or 5 years before. Nowadays people can turn down a good offer for not having a five days week culture. People now expect much for flexibility and much more appreciation rather than a good pay, people often leave the company, when they are not getting enough exposure, not enough appreciation or maybe they get another opportunity in which they can see their goal is order will be going to be fulfilled. 

When a person leaves its not an easy task for the human resources/recruiting person or a recruiting agency, nowadays company will hire recruiting agency to get more reliable talent, and also wants to save the time it is screening for the right candidate. 

All off us are mostly ignore human resources person or a recruiting person in the company. Because when we have a friend or someone we know we want to get inside of organisation only then we communicate with HR /recruiting person. 

But just think about it when a person leave the organisation, ignore the person leaves, but the amount of time the organisation has invested in a person also goes, right now people are much focus and much more practical these days, people will immediately withdrawn their services from the job when they got a higher opportunity. 

Now just think about it when a person leaves the company, the job of human resources/recruiting agency starts at the moment when person gives resignation letter.

Human resources or recruiting agency starts to fill the blank and invites applications through social media, through job portals, and another many ways.

Now human resources/recruiting agency posted job online, and the responses started to comes in terms of email or number of phone calls, even they jet number of references within the organisation. When an application comes the screening of the evolution process begins at the same moment. Screening of profiles,cvs takes a llot time to evaluate. 

Just imagine for a single position human resource manager or recruiting agency has received 250 profile or CV, then they have to be very patient with the screening. 

See how the screening works take a look. 

• Review of the profile / curriculum vitae. 

First of all human resources Executive Manager/ recruiting agency must have to review the CV or at least have to review the job description or responsibilities mentioned in the CV / profile. 

Now just imagine, before choosing the right candidate you must have to look at the profile and you must have to read between the lines. Review of profile / CV is not an easy job. When you got much more response for a position its must be reviewed thoroughly, so talented or possible candidate must not be left out in the process. 

they must have to shortlist a possible candidates out of number of profile / CV screening. 

• Sorting profiles / CV under different categories.

Many times screening of profile / CV awfully considered as a sorting process. But screening and sorting it's a two different things, which all times almost taken as granted. 

Sorting of profile / CV has various attributes of various criteria. 

For example, you must have to select profile / CV in two different categories. First one is qualified, second one is possibly qualified. 

now imagine a management or client has a different set of requirements at the last moment. 

If the management / client required a candidate from the local city. Then you have to look at all the possibilities.doing above all processes again. 

Just think they have already completed screening 100 profile / CV, now they have to done it again as per requirement of Management /client. 

• A fully brief analysis of profile / CV

The pain doesn't stop there, human resources manager / recruiter must have to screen or thoroughly reviewing the profile / CV in detail. 

What kind of details they have to review just look at it. 

1. Candidates job responsibilities of the current organisation and desirable education qualification/ professional qualification. Are all the criteria of fits  in the requirement on the client/ organisation ?
2. Must have to review if any work gaps. 
3. Thoroughly review of the each previous organisations work history which has relevance to the current requirement. 
4. Work experience at all previous organisations. 
5. Number of job change in short amount of period.
6. Reviewing skill of the candidate. 
7. achievements from all previous organisation/ employer. 
8. Salary requirement
9. Notice period with adequate time scale.

• Records management

A profile / CV if not considered for the job or rejected, human resource manager / recruiter have to record. They have to ensure a person profile / CV must not be presented again if it is not considered / rejected. 

• Final summarisation.

. 

HR manager / recruiter have to shortlist candidates summary for quick reference. 

1. Review of role description to ensure desirable qualities. 
2. Identify key skill abilities and qualification for each application. 
3. Scoring each profile by awarding points. 
4. Handing over profile / CV to management or client. 

The buck not stop here.

1. After considering profile/CV HR manager or recruiter they have to contact candidate and starts conversation about, 
2. Current responsibilities of candidate & Informing for Desirable job Description.  
3. Candidates availability for interview.
4. Interview management.
5. Selection and finalization process. 
6. Negotiation of package and salaries. & so much goes on.

After doing above all the things HR manager / recruiter must have to observe candidate’s behaviour and feedback during initial period. 

That’s Why i called ‘’Hiring people nowadays is not an easy job’’

Corporate Facts, Chapter -1 Don't be a victim at workplace, Be strong

In the today's world of capitalism, the common people or a professional, average person they all are depending on the job to survive and to take care of themselves and their family. 

In the world of capitalism every person has been chained with his or her job. 

you won't find a good person at your workplace, if you find a good person at workplace that's very lucky of you I can say, but fairy tales don't exist in the reality, nowadays a corporate houses are filled with the bloodthirsty managers and evil colleagues, you can name the worst but they are really exist.

Being in a job it is not an easy thing to average person who just want to do the job and go back home. But if you pass a day without fear or without humiliation or without being stressed it's not possible now days, now persons are become much more focused and expectations from higher managements are become much more demanding, a job requires of multiple skills and multitasking abilities, it's not that the you can do your job but you have to do other job and you have to learn others job to facilitate the requirement of the task, for clients demand, interchangeability of the work is now a days are common, if you are not coming on the job today, your colleagues will take care of your work similar if your colleague is absent you will take care of his job, it's a give or take, this shows that nowadays people are not key prospect to the job, what important thing is nowadays a task requirement, or a deadline becomes much more visible. 

Today's job are much more stressed and demanding compared to a decade ago scenario, now you can work from home also, you can work from anywhere, if you are not on the job, you can still take care of your task, the much more flexibility provides, it's a good thing, peoples are become much more efficient and utilization of the resources are increased, and sometime they don't care about the company's resources they can work from their own resources.

but the much more flexibility of doing job also brings a much more stress,much more competition and much much more pain. imagine you are working of five days or 6 days of week in the office late night or working at some other place on the site or someplace else you are actually doing your job, and you are thinking on a weekend this Sunday or Saturday you must be free you have some plan you are going some places you meeting some persons all you have planned this a week in advance.

All you have planned for the weekend and your dreams shattered when your manager tells that you have to work on weekends to facilitate the Client or do some extra work that someone is not taking care of the assignments instead of him or her you have to be a flag bearer of the hard working Association. 

Now imagine you are being victim of someone else's crime, you have come on the job regular on time, you are keeping your assignments clear on daily basis, and no pending task for weekends, you are enjoying Friday last moment, and then you have to drag yourself on the weekends to do the job of someone else. 

Nowadays people are become much smarter in the corporate, they find the person who seems more like a scapegoat, this person a dedicated person who barely say no to anything or any task given to him, this evil people are extraordinary smart, they always find this kind of persons to do their dirty works. All this kind of persons are experts in Apple polishing, they do the job, they don't have to do, they do their bosses unconventional job, which is not related to the job profile or something else you can say but this is the reality. They always find the best excuses for not completing the task in the time. They possess a very much good convincing abilities, they are a good storyteller, they are telling their bosses so much lies that was convinced them that he or she actually in trouble so his job or her job must be assigned to someone else who is taking care of assignments on the time. now the boss is trying to return the favor to storyteller that his work can be done by someone else.

So, the boss find someone else to assign task by Quoting ‘’this is very urgent we need to complete this task by the weekends you must do it.’’ most of the time we are the victims of this kind of shocking this incidents, This is always happened to almost all of us, we the oppressed people, always find a way to do someone else dirty jobs, you cannot say no, so this kind of people are always makes you a scapegoat. 

So you have been in this situation before, you have a journey not a first time as a request, second time you have considered that's it must be your model duty to help someone, third time you are pissed, you cannot say no because you have done this for two times, and if you say no then the request turns out in order, that you have to follow, 4th time you will be bragging yourself in this willingly or unwillingly. 

You don't know you are being the victim of someone else crime, knowingly or unknowingly because we are going to the path for the self victimization of ourselves. 

So what to do, you have to be very patient and observant about the whole process. 

if your boss tells you that you have to do a job on the weekend. then you have to be a patient for a minute and then ask a simple question. 

• I have done my work for the weekdays and nothing is pending from my end so, please tell me who is responsible for delaying the task which is entitled to him or her. This assignment it doesn't belong to me, I have a plan for my weekends I prepared it well in advance, so I am not available for this weekend,. End of story don't tell anything about your plans, if you don't have one. 

• Ask your superior if you are getting paid for the weekend's contribution. Simply they definitely say no because they know this is not a right emergency work that actually need your consultation. You are not doing the charity if you doing someone else job then ask to be rewarded or reimbursement of your services on weekends. 

• This is my favorite. Ask the person who is responsible for the delaying task and tell him to take care of his work by himself only he will not be contributed any help by yourself. Tell him to ask directly if is in trouble, he will be shocked that you are asking him directly about the delay because your boss is also know that you are not an easy target. 

Sometimes you have to say no because you don't know when a straight up approach is required. Many time I have observed a simple no will end all the story. 

Similarly in the job many times you have been assigned to the additional duties of additional task. 

This additional task or additional duties are much more starts with the request. additional task, additional duties always comes in a manner of request because they know you are already being exhausted by your own work and there is no room for another duties but they still manage to buy the cheapest way by all overloading the existing person. Many time it is happens when the bosses, the managers are  at pretty much good at convincing that it is a need of the company, or it is the need of the department that you should pay small attention to the small details of this whole project but it is not a small, it's always start with small request but when the time fly, you will be realize, how Mammoth of the big task is this, 

So what to do. 

Be patience and analyse the facts. 

• First of all made a list of a task you are doing, make a presentation that you are doing actually work might needs extra attention but you are doing by yourself to save the cost of extra hands. 

• have a brief discussion with your superior that and make them aware that you are already exhausted and you are giving the best of your caliber. Even if the they insist to go with additional duties ask them to reorganize the current  assignment of yours. Sure that will pinch your superior to think something else

• Ask about the length of the project, the time, the cost of the project these are the technical details you should ask before you made any commitment. when you are asking the facts and figures people always think that you are not a dumb one but you are smart one you are asking the details you will probably know what is going on.. For example. I have been assigned with a small project saying that is a small project you should not be bothered it must take only half an hour if your time on the day you should continue with your current job and you should you take this project. I have ask my superiors that who is handling the project right now and tell them to give me a proper handover with the all work in progress and pending activities and all the details which is required with to handle a project. shortly they shocked and tell me that you should not ask so many details and that is none of your concern. by asking them the full details they are Furious that a person who is super junior to them asking the full details. But I strongly ask them full details and later I came to know that the project was handled by someone else and failed miserably so they want someone else to just to make a scapegoat and wash off of their hands. 

So next time before accepting new assignment do some research & ask some basic questions. 

Today's corporate house and offices are much more like college campus. peoples are gossiping passionately,about each other's life, like salary each others working details, styles their daily life, so much but the passion doesn't come out when doing the actual job. Gossiping is the most worst problem of the corporate. People in the corporate are openly made gossiping about everyone in the floor and sometimes they made a step further and makes fun of colleague who have nothing to do with this kind of gossiping. 

believe me in today's corporate world people made the camps and they literally scrutinize others life and made fun of others working style and how they look, how they behave, how they eat.

Make a fun out of each other on a sometime, it's a good thing you should be a sport but someone makes a fun out of you and every day that you should we consider that there should not be happened again and again. 

if somebody labels you that you are not unCooperative, stupid, bastard, that you should fight back. if somebody max a fun out of you at every day then, you should resist and tell them that if you made fun out of me again that you will made a fun out of them and it will be very painful. 

Sometimes you to hit back with the same way that you are getting hit. In corporate people often insulted in disguise of a joke. 

Tit for tat is the best strategy to deal with insulting in the name of joke. 

Closing Note: Respect yourself first & then others.

Don't be Stupid, pretend to be a Stupid at workplace

Yes, you have read right what I have to say next it's not a foolish subject to share with the wise audience like you.

Being in a job is not an easy task for everyone, some people can adapt very easily and becoming part of the pack and they don't have a problem with the rest the crowd.

It almost happened or to be happening at the right now to almost everyone of us. 

Being in a job or at the life at some moment a person has to or must to do compromise beyond their capabilities and capacities. I have seen in my over a decade of career many smart and talented people are having the trouble to adjust themselves among the most childish and foolish kind of people. Where they have to save them self from the wisdom of the crowd and at the same time they have to be bear the consciousness of doing not the right or not choosing the best way to perform a task are the normal job. 

Being in a team is not easy way to adjust yourself. Because not every time you can find the winning team or best performing team,  sometime you have to be a very cautious and to be extra cautious I mean to say because you know the people around you are not functioning very well are they going into another direction but you cannot stop them because you know the moment you try to stop them they all come together and throw you out. You have to be very extra careful when you are dealing with the Team which is not happy with you and trying to overpower you every time.

So in this scenario you will be outnumbered bye bunch of people. It is not advisable to go against number of people, because in the end number wins. at the same time your consciousness of not doing right it's killing you from inside. This is happened with all talented and caring professionals who literally can see what is coming next. 

To be working in a team it requires a lot of patience to corporate with all bunch of other people. Being in a team you have to be choose what is best for you and you for your team, because either way you have to follow your leader and ignore your instincts and to choose to follow leader blindly. Because what is happening when bunch of other professionals whose job is nothing more than to collect the paycheck in the end.

You cannot change the mentality and the perception of a fellow team members from the day one. What is best for you that you have to be very patience and keen on observing what you are doing and which order you are following. If you want to be a grow and to keep yourself at peace, then you have to be learn the art of deception, because into corporate you cannot change the People's mentality and the opinion very instant, 

for example, let's have a look for Classic scenario.

Mr David is a part of a team, has just joined a team a few months back. His team leader Mr White is a stubborn and a crazy team leader who is not keen on to analyse and the accept input from the fellow team leaders. He's just like a dictator and doesn't want to be changed the way he is working. 

On the other side Mr David has just joined the team few months back and he is very much appreciated professional around his previous assignments. And he has been chosen by the top management to keep pushing team beyond limits to maximize the profitization from the assignments. 

Mr David has came to know that Mr White is not likely to be handled or likely to be advised by bunch of juniors or fellow co workers., he knows if he offers him or try to explain what the better way to handle the task, it will hurt Mr white's ego and soon Mr White will turn the table on him and keep David grilling for every occasion that he can find. So for instant Mr David has came to know that he has to be very cautious while dealing with Mr White. 

On a group meeting of new assignment all of his team members gathered including Mr White to decide the strategy and to share the responsibility and the workload among the all other team members. 

Mr white has assigned another team member Mr Grey to Mr David to handle the operation commands of the project. Mr David knows that Mr Grey had failed miserably in the operation commands on the previous assignments. So Mr David has a new challenge to work on two fronts, he also has to manage operation commands and Mr Grey at the same time. So he has no choice but to work with Mr Grey and let the Mr White believe he wins. 

In this scenario Mr white believes that he had played Mr David to take burden of Mr Grey and his incompetency to perform operation commands. 

Now Mr David knows he has been played by Mr White, he cannot oppose him because he's a team leader and his action will be counted as a insubordination and he will be landed in serious trouble. So what Mr David can do? 

Mr David sees this as a opportunity to prove himself as a potential team leader, he had a word with Mr Grey. He has discussed with Mr Grey about his vision and told him how to overcome with this kind of troubles and to be a asset of the team. David explained Mr Grey that he can help him with his operational commands a little experience. Mr Grey as they agreed to Mr David and promised him to be corporate with him and they both will see the opportunity to prove themselves both. 

in this scenario Mr White is thinking that Mr David is the stupid to work with Mr Grey but Mr White doesn't know that David and grey have already been working on the same page to save themselves. Mr White thinks that it's stupid moved to accept Mr Grey as a team member and Mr David keep let believing Mr White that ‘’ he has won. 

After six months of battling with tremendous amount of pressure Mr David's has efforts been paid off and Mr Grey is now fully capable to handle operational commands. Mr David already thinking about Mr Grey from the beginning that he can be asset to the team. Mr David had a deal with human resources, the deal has a stipulation.

The stipulation was like that” if Mr Grey can survive operational commands responsibility and if he can be turned in to the Asset he will be transferred to the another office and can given him independent charge.” 

Finally Mr David's efforts are paid off. Now Mr Grey is fully functional and responsible person who can take any assignments regardless to the operation commands. he is now been promoted a step further and transferred to the another base of operation. 

And when Mr White has came to know that Mr Grey is promoted internally he is stunned by the move made by David. Mr David had played very nicely and turned a problem into opportunity and in the end Mr Grey and Mr David both ended with a victory. 

it was not possible until Mr David had decided bring up his game and let Mr White know that he is not an easy target. He keeps Mr White believing that it was a stupid move to accept Mr Gray as a team member. and that was a mistake. 

Mr David played stupid and in the end he makes a stupidity out of Mr White. 

In this scenario we can observe that not every opportunity is to be landed at your feet you have to be keep evolving and be fully observant about your surroundings. 

Maybe people will count you as a stupid but it is I believe it's nothing to do with what they have believed. You can make your move and get the thing what you want in the end. 

So, Somebody Thinks You are Stupid, let the fools Believe it. 

At Workplace Follow Your Own Policy Also

Follow your Own Policy At Workplace.

Policy of the Organization Individual is highly appreciated in corporate world.

Policy-

1.             A course or principle of action adopted or proposed by an organization or individual.

Many times we have heard /mentioned this Word, we ignore, Neglect or not even paying attention to it.  I had chosen this topic due to explaining significance of POLICY on individual level.  I don’t encourage not following or ignoring Organization policy but your own policy has to be made or create for daily challenges / Survival Decision in the corporate.

Being in a corporate world over a Decade, I had learnt a Few things on my own. Over the years Transferred to a various Departments, SBU (strategic business units), & Assigned to New Role of Responsibilities, I had realized that your own Set of thinking is much needed. 

While on a daily job you have to make Decisions/Sacrifices on for survival or to perform a Task/ project. You had to Deal with All kind of People, means all kind, competitions, Rivals, Gamers, which are be present in real time & will be ready for you to harm, stop/ manipulate. For your own good you have to be investigating around your environment, Concern People, gamer etc. cause they are Really Observing you to Be unsuccessful on an every moments.  

Performing a Duty/ task contains Efforts on individual & Coordination with others. Which is sometimes a pain in the butt? Cause you can do your part easily but captivating a task/duty from others is tricky cause every people is not nice as seems, some are seems nice but not for real. They may have Delay your Task just to go under your skin because these kinds of people are making fun to hamper your schedule.  So how can be deal with it? Just follow this Simple Policy.

It’s called W.I.T.H Policy.

W         = Warning

I           = Ignore

T          = Tolerance

H          = Hit’s Back

 W   = Warning

This is the very Effective step to deal with Nuisance around your Surroundings. Sometimes to deal with the Culprits is only to be stand up say ‘’ PAL back off or I ‘will take actions. This works sometimes. Because some people are just show off & when you’re Man up they go straight to the path & never Cross u again.

I     = Ignore

Ignorance is bliss saying is very perfect in corporate world. Cause There are this type of people is just to make a an impression by showing off. Some people are not worthy enough for your anger/ attention. Just don’t entertain them. Just pass by them & they get a lesson.  

T     = Tolerance

Yeah you heard me Right, some People Are not Afraid of you because they are more powerful Experienced & much senior then you. In that case you just have to be patient for being reasonable. After Tolerating enough then you can make a statement for not getting result.

H    = Hit’s Back

Some People Are not worthy of your Fortitude, this kind is to be teaches instantly, cause they think they are untouchables, they owns the place, and they don’t follow your request to cooperate they just want to throw u under the bus. This kind of humanity needs some serious attitude adjustment. That you can make on your own. Just Bring you’re a game & Hit’s back hardly. Cause not every time warning, ignorance, tolerance works. Just load the gun & fire.

This is for your own Good, Next time Remember you are W.I.T.H the policy.
