𝗛𝗮𝗿𝗻𝗲𝘀𝘀𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗮𝗹𝗹𝘆𝘀𝗵𝗶𝗽 𝗶𝗻 𝗮 𝗽𝗼𝘀𝗶𝘁𝗶𝘃𝗲 𝗲𝗻𝘃𝗶𝗿𝗼𝗻𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁

𝗛𝗮𝗿𝗻𝗲𝘀𝘀𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗮𝗹𝗹𝘆𝘀𝗵𝗶𝗽 🤝 𝗶𝗻 𝗮 𝗽𝗼𝘀𝗶𝘁𝗶𝘃𝗲 𝗲𝗻𝘃𝗶𝗿𝗼𝗻𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁 𝗶𝘀 𝘃𝗶𝘁𝗮𝗹 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝗮𝗻𝘆 𝗼𝗿𝗴𝗮𝗻𝗶𝘇𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝘁𝗿𝘆𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘁𝗼 𝗯𝘂𝗶𝗹𝗱 𝘀𝗲𝗹𝗳-𝗺𝗼𝘁𝗶𝘃𝗮𝘁𝗲𝗱 𝘁𝗲𝗮𝗺𝘀.
🏭 Firstly, let us try to understand the meaning of both the words.
 
𝗛𝗮𝗿𝗻𝗲𝘀𝘀𝗶𝗻𝗴 - Literally, it means to produce energy by controlling and making use of natural resources. In context of an Organization, it would be to provide an outcome by leveraging the existing capabilities.

𝗔𝗹𝗹𝘆𝘀𝗵𝗶𝗽 - It is the state or condition of having supportive association with another person or group.
 
Combining both, it portrays a greater meaning of working together not only in day-to-day activities. However, making the best out of the support of an ally to grow together.

𝗙𝗼𝗿 𝗲𝘅𝗮𝗺𝗽𝗹𝗲, An employee is good at certain technology and after completing one of the latest certifications in that field her thought process and skills is enhanced, which is even reflecting in her work. She conveys the same to two of her colleagues, that how she leveraged the certification provided by Wipro (who has partnered with the certification providing organization). Also, she shared her smooth experience on the new process where employee need not pay up-front. Rather, they need to study for the examination and follow certain pre-requisite to get the voucher for the examination and can schedule as per their convenience and availability. Her colleagues were so glad by her gesture and got motivated to complete the same. Also, the colleagues had some cross-skill knowledge which they shared with her. Along with that there was a word of mouth within the team and beyond on this success-mantra. At the end there was a mutual growth and development, a true example of Harnessing the Allyship.

🤖 Normally, humans have tendency to compete within people/colleagues who are nearby. Although a healthy competition is required for the holistic growth and development of the ecosystem. Still, we must think broader and compete with people across the globe and most importantly compete within ourselves. In short, we must share our knowledge, experience and growth mindset with our peers, colleagues, and allies. This will lead to a win-win situation. We can benefit in the following ways:

We can benefit in the following ways:
➖ Get back knowledge in some form
➖ Learn even more while explaining and having a two-way discussion about the topic
➖ Goodwill is created
➖ Happier working environment
➖ Grow your presentation skills, if you feel that sharing it with the entire team can be fruitful for everyone

To summarise, you must try the power of giving. It always feels good to help others. You sub-consciously tend to build an aura of heathy and happy environment around yourself by leveraging the power of harnessing allyship.

What’s your Resolution in 2022 & on what basis do you form them?

 What’s your Resolution in 2️⃣0️⃣2️⃣2️⃣ & on what basis do you form them?

It may sound too much. However, I have more than a score of resolutions this year.

This is how i planned them with a slight milestone based twist:
1️⃣ Firstly, like every year, 𝘄𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗜 𝗳𝗲𝗲𝗹 𝗜 𝘀𝗵𝗼𝘂𝗹𝗱 𝗰𝗵𝗮𝗻𝗴𝗲 𝗶𝗻 𝗺𝘆𝘀𝗲𝗹𝗳 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝗯𝗲𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗮 𝗯𝗲𝘁𝘁𝗲𝗿 𝗺𝗲?
2️⃣ Took some 𝗰𝗼𝗻𝘀𝘁𝗿𝘂𝗰𝘁𝗶𝘃𝗲 𝗳𝗲𝗲𝗱𝗯𝗮𝗰𝗸 𝗳𝗿𝗼𝗺 𝗻𝗲𝗮𝗿 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗱𝗲𝗮𝗿 𝗼𝗻𝗲𝘀 𝗼𝗻 𝘄𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝘀𝗵𝗼𝘂𝗹𝗱 𝗜 𝗶𝗺𝗽𝗿𝗼𝘃𝗲 𝗶𝗻 𝗺𝘆𝘀𝗲𝗹𝗳?
3️⃣ Having 𝗯𝗿𝗼𝗮𝗱𝗲𝗿 𝗮𝗿𝗲𝗮𝘀 𝗼𝗳 𝗰𝗵𝗮𝗻𝗴𝗲 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝗴𝗼𝗼𝗱 such as Health, Career, Habits etc
4️⃣ Whichever resolution is countable, the values should be towards 𝗿𝗲𝗮𝗹𝗶𝘀𝘁𝗶𝗰 𝘀𝗶𝗱𝗲 𝘁𝗵𝗮𝗻 𝗶𝗱𝗲𝗮𝗹𝗶𝘀𝘁𝗶𝗰. This helps to continue in long run and we can always add-on down the line
5️⃣ Few of my resolutions are monthly/quarterly. So that by end of the month I can have a check, rather end of year. In IT Agile terms, kind of Restrospective (or 𝗜𝗻𝘁𝗿𝗼𝘀𝗽𝗲𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻)


✍🏻 Let me know if it was helpful and you need some help in you resolution formation (Ignore, it if it was too much and un-necessary information).

Lastly, 𝗪𝗶𝘀𝗵 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗮 𝗦𝗽𝗮𝗿𝗸𝗹𝗶𝗻𝗴 ✨ 𝗡𝗲𝘄 𝗬𝗲𝗮𝗿 𝟮𝟬𝟮𝟮 𝗳𝗶𝗹𝗹𝗲𝗱 𝘄𝗶𝘁𝗵 𝗛𝗲𝗮𝗹𝘁𝗵, 𝗛𝗮𝗽𝗽𝗶𝗻𝗲𝘀𝘀 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗣𝗿𝗼𝘀𝗽𝗲𝗿𝗶𝘁𝘆 🙂
