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.

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.
