We should learn to care and share with others; and have faith and trust in them and we will find these assets for ourself:

*Corporate lesson*

Be cautious when you take a leave from your job - it should be short enough to let the team miss you and definitely not so long enough that your team realise that it can function without you...

The above message was received through whatsapp. This thought makes you believe that your team should be made to feel that the team is functioning because of you. Actually this thought comes out of job insecurity concern. We need to believe and remember that the job is not about job satisfaction and money. The job is about outcome, an impact and a true care for the people we care for.

What ideally should be the situation.

We should strengthen our team in such a way that the team should function without 'me'. The team should get the skills and attitudes from you which should develop expertise in your team. We should learn to care and share with team; and have faith and trust in them and we will find these assets for ourself. William A. Ward had said, three keys to more abundant living: caring about others, daring for others, sharing with others.

Sharing with others is caring for others in action. ~ Douglas M. Lawson

Once you do a real time guidance and capacity building in your team, your team will grow and support for further team development and success. And they in turn, will develop few more leaders in the further processes. And you can go ahead build, manage and empower many more projects further on. Dave Cullen said, 'What good were special talents when there was no one to share them with?'.

When you dream alone, its a fantasy. When you dream alone, with your eyes shut, asleep, that dream is an illusion. Then what is the real dream? When we dream together, sharing the same dream, awake and with our eyes wide open, then that dream becomes reality!

An unshared life is not living. He who shares does not lessen, but greatens, his life. ~ Stephen S. Wise

Many of us are afraid to share ideas, skills and few self tested shortcuts fearing that others can exceed us in growth.

Think in an another way, here the deal is not about you and the opposite person, or people who are around you, its about team, organization, nation and the global community around us, which can benefit from our efforts. Because every thought, intention and action counts.

Og Mandino quotes, 'Realize that true happiness lies within you. Waste no time and effort searching for peace and contentment and joy in the world outside. Remember that there is no happiness in having or in getting, but only in giving. Reach out. Share. Smile. Hug. Happiness is a perfume you cannot pour on others without getting a few drops on yourself'.

Effective team management is neither about passive detachment nor rigid control. It is an active, supportive practice of process design and human care:

- The Anchor of Execution: Balancing Process and the Human Face in Workflow Management In any organization, a strategic plan is only as good as its execution. While leadership sets the vision, it is the team manager who serves as the anchor of day-to-day operations. Historically, management frameworks treated this role as purely mechanical—a numbers game of tracking timelines and treating human beings as mere "resources" to be scheduled. However, modern operational research has brought a critical truth to light: you cannot successfully manage the process if you neglect the people. Exceptional workflow management requires balancing the technical mechanics of a project with the neuro-emotional safety of the team executing it. When a manager fails to oversee the flow of work, deadlines slip and quality degrades. But when a manager relies solely on rigid micromanagement, burn-out spikes and team members hide critical mistakes. True oper...

Silicon Valley’s Wildest Backstory: The HP Division That Conquered the Tech World:

- 🚀 The Ultimate Corporate Glow-Up: How a Tiny HP Division Outgrew the Entire Company "In 1999, tech pioneer Hewlett-Packard packed up a small, secondary semiconductor department and spun it off to clear some space. Today, that 'minor department' is Broadcom—an absolute empire worth a staggering $1.8 Trillion." Did you know that Broadcom—one of the biggest tech giants in the world today—was actually born inside Hewlett-Packard? For anyone who doesn't know the backstory, this is wild: **Broadcom**—the massive semiconductor and AI tech giant—actually started out as just a small internal department of **Hewlett-Packard (HP)** back in 1961! In 1999, HP spun off its chip division into a separate company, which eventually evolved into the Broadcom we know today. Look at how much the student has outgrown the master now: Broadcom Inc. (AVGO), which handles those advanced AI chips and infrastructure, is now worth a massive **$1.8 Trillion**. Meanwhile, the original pare...

Is anybody happier because you passed his way?

- Is anybody happier because you passed his way? Does anyone remember that you spoke to him today? This day is almost over, and its toiling time is through; Is there anyone to utter now a kindly word of you? Did you give a cheerful greeting to the friend who came along? Or a churlish sort of "Howdy" and then vanish in the throng? Were you selfish pure and simple as you rushed along the way, Or is someone mighty grateful for a deed you did today? Can you say tonight, in parting with the day that's slipping fast, That you helped a single brother of the many that you passed? Is a single heart rejoicing over what you did or said; Does a man whose hopes were fading now with courage look ahead? Did you waste the day, or lose it, was it well or sorely spent? Did you leave a trail of kindness or a scar of discontent? Source: taken from Edgar Albert Guest poem. Reflection of above poem: "Is anybody happier because you passed his way?" is a po...

Tokyo Olympics, two sportsmen makes us realise true meaning of joy:

The scene is the final of men's high jump at the Tokyo Olympics. Italy's Gianmarco Tamberi was facing Qatar's Mutaz Essa Barshim in the final. Both of them jumped 2.37 meters and were on par ! Olympic officials gave three more attempts to each of them, but they were unable to reach more than 2.37 meters. One more attempt was given to two both of them, but Tampberi withdrew from the last attempt due to a serious leg injury. The moment when there was no other opponent in front of Barshim, the moment when he could have easily approached the gold alone ! But Barshim asked the official "if the gold can be shared between the two of us if I withdraw from the final attempt ?" The official checks and confirms and says "yes then the gold will be shared between the two of you". Barshim then had nothing to think about, announces withdrawal from the last attempt. Seeing this, the Italian opponent Tamberi ran and hugged Barshim and screamed ! What we sa...

The Bridge of "Sorry":

- The Closed Door and a Quiet "Sorry" A story to remind us the power of sorry: Raj had left his charger bag in the training building earlier. Returning late, he found the main door locked. He knocked repeatedly. Finally, the caretaker, a stern Mr. Verma, opened it, his face tight with annoyance. "What's the commotion?" Mr. Verma grumbled, glancing past Raj at another resident, Ravi, who had been startled by the loud knocking. He'd assumed Raj was trying to barge in. " Mr. Verma, I'm so sorry, " Raj said quickly, his voice sincere. "I didn't mean to disturb anyone with the late knocking." Instantly, Mr. Verma's expression softened. The annoyance faded. "Ah, it's you, Raj. No worries, son. For a moment, I thought you were just being inconsiderate. But that 'sorry'… it makes all the difference, eh?" He offered a small smile, the tension gone. Ravi nodded in agreement. Raj retrieved his bag, the brief moment...

The Secret to a Happy Marriage: Stop Trying to Win and Start Nurturing:

- Nurturing the Marital Garden: When the Relationship Wins In the grand tapestry of life, marriage stands as one of the most profound and challenging relationships we undertake. It's a journey filled with shared dreams, laughter, and sometimes, inevitable disagreements. Yet, the true triumph in marriage isn't about one person "winning" an argument or proving a point; it's about the relationship winning. It's about cultivating a shared space where both individuals can thrive, a garden that requires constant, loving care. Often, in the heat of the moment, our instincts can lead us to defend ourselves, to score points, or to push for our own way. However, this competitive mindset can chip away at the very foundation of the union. When we prioritize winning as an individual, we inadvertently lose something far more valuable: the strength and intimacy of our bond. The key to a flourishing marriage lies in shifting our focus from "me" to "us," e...

What is Emotional Intelligence and it's importance for successful life:

- Understanding the concept of EQ: Emotional Intelligence, or emotional quotient (EQ), is defined as an individual's ability to identify, evaluate, control, and express emotions. People with high EQ usually make great leaders and team players because of their ability to understand, empathize, and connect with the people around them. IQ, or intelligence quotient, is score derived from one of several standardized tests designed to assess an individual's intelligence. IQ is used to determine academic abilities and identify individuals with off-the-chart intelligence or mental challenges. EQ is a better indicator of success in the workplace and is used to identify leaders, good team players, and people who best work by themselves. Emotional awareness is best inculcated from an early age by encouraging qualities like sharing, thinking about others, putting oneself in another person's shoes, giving individual space and the general principles of cooperation. There are toys an...

What could a belief in yourself and your abilities, do for you?

During a brutal study at Harvard in the 1950s, Dr. Curt Richter placed rats in a pool of water to test how long they could tread water. On average they'd give up and sink after 15 minutes. But right before they gave up due to exhaustion, the researchers would pluck them out, dry them off, let them rest for a few minutes - and put them back in for a second round. In this second try - how long do you think they lasted? Remember - they had just swam until failure only a few short minutes ago... How long do you think? Another 15 minutes? 10 minutes? 5 minutes? No! 60 hours! That's not an error. That's right! 60 hours of swimming. The conclusion drawn was that since the rats BELIEVED that they would eventually be rescued, they could push their bodies way past what they previously thought impossible. I will leave you with this thought: If hope can cause exhausted rats to swim for that long, what could a belief in yourself and your abilities, do for you? So let’s inject HOPE in p...
