Organisations, companies, enterprises and free markets all
are unlocking the doors for creative Potential; they have come to a realisation
as to how important Managers are for any organisation. Developing leaders is a
prime-facia for the business world, but still some companies are failing to determine
the right kind of people they want, and hence they are lacking in the
competitive world.
Nowadays, corporate giants are spending millions and
billions in training the executives, and shaping them into the right toy for
their Game. They are building amazing infrastructure, huge development centres
and large training departments to lure the crowd.
The above line sounds critical, but the reality is much more
haunting. Companies pay huge amount of development budgets in training and
development programmes, which at times disturbs their credit situation and
leads to Job Loss. And the whole reason behind this is inappropriate choice of workforce
for their business. They assume that they can develop the personality of a
person in a time span of 3-4 months, and this practice is still continuing………..
The question here is, does this training actually help? Do
these subtle and soft skills pay all the time? Do they work in all
circumstances?
We have heard this statement thousands of times in our
lives, but I am not very sure as to how many times do we ever think about this?
“All that glitters is not gold”
This is exactly what is happening in the business world
.Companies are hiring people on random basis and low wages , just keeping in
mind that their Organisational training will mould this unskilled labour into
an efficient workforce, which is undesirable and questionable.
The confusion is that it is not easy to teach and mould a
person physiologically and just fill in the qualities of a leader. A leader has
to have qualities like being intellectually strong, aware, intelligent and
courageous. The organisations and the human resource planners need to
understand that there is a difference between being cunning and smart, and it’s
highly improbable to change the first into the second form.
The world is changing, and so are the definitions of words
like Intelligence and Activeness. Evaluating an individual’s skills by his
marks and grades is no more a trend. A manager has to manage and decide, rather
than doing a scientific research, for which the criteria has to be different.
It is imperative for the individual and the organisations to understand that
the talent is no more found in books. Diversity in skills and passion for work
is what matters today.
This is a mere attempt of sharing the complexity that the
world holds, and preparing ourselves for the same ……………………
