๐Ÿญ Firstly, let us try to understand the meaning of both the words.
 
๐—›๐—ฎ๐—ฟ๐—ป๐—ฒ๐˜€๐˜€๐—ถ๐—ป๐—ด - 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.

๐—”๐—น๐—น๐˜†๐˜€๐—ต๐—ถ๐—ฝ - 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.

๐—™๐—ผ๐—ฟ ๐—ฒ๐˜…๐—ฎ๐—บ๐—ฝ๐—น๐—ฒ, 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.

๐Ÿค– 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:
โž– Get back knowledge in some form
โž– Learn even more while explaining and having a two-way discussion about the topic
โž– Goodwill is created
โž– Happier working environment
โž– 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.

Whatโ€™s your Resolution in 2022 & on what basis do you form them?

 Whatโ€™s your Resolution in 2๏ธโƒฃ0๏ธโƒฃ2๏ธโƒฃ2๏ธโƒฃ & 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:
1๏ธโƒฃ Firstly, like every year, ๐˜„๐—ต๐—ฎ๐˜ ๐—œ ๐—ณ๐—ฒ๐—ฒ๐—น ๐—œ ๐˜€๐—ต๐—ผ๐˜‚๐—น๐—ฑ ๐—ฐ๐—ต๐—ฎ๐—ป๐—ด๐—ฒ ๐—ถ๐—ป ๐—บ๐˜†๐˜€๐—ฒ๐—น๐—ณ ๐—ณ๐—ผ๐—ฟ ๐—ฏ๐—ฒ๐—ถ๐—ป๐—ด ๐—ฎ ๐—ฏ๐—ฒ๐˜๐˜๐—ฒ๐—ฟ ๐—บ๐—ฒ?
2๏ธโƒฃ Took some ๐—ฐ๐—ผ๐—ป๐˜€๐˜๐—ฟ๐˜‚๐—ฐ๐˜๐—ถ๐˜ƒ๐—ฒ ๐—ณ๐—ฒ๐—ฒ๐—ฑ๐—ฏ๐—ฎ๐—ฐ๐—ธ ๐—ณ๐—ฟ๐—ผ๐—บ ๐—ป๐—ฒ๐—ฎ๐—ฟ ๐—ฎ๐—ป๐—ฑ ๐—ฑ๐—ฒ๐—ฎ๐—ฟ ๐—ผ๐—ป๐—ฒ๐˜€ ๐—ผ๐—ป ๐˜„๐—ต๐—ฎ๐˜ ๐˜€๐—ต๐—ผ๐˜‚๐—น๐—ฑ ๐—œ ๐—ถ๐—บ๐—ฝ๐—ฟ๐—ผ๐˜ƒ๐—ฒ ๐—ถ๐—ป ๐—บ๐˜†๐˜€๐—ฒ๐—น๐—ณ?
3๏ธโƒฃ Having ๐—ฏ๐—ฟ๐—ผ๐—ฎ๐—ฑ๐—ฒ๐—ฟ ๐—ฎ๐—ฟ๐—ฒ๐—ฎ๐˜€ ๐—ผ๐—ณ ๐—ฐ๐—ต๐—ฎ๐—ป๐—ด๐—ฒ ๐—ณ๐—ผ๐—ฟ ๐—ด๐—ผ๐—ผ๐—ฑ such as Health, Career, Habits etc
4๏ธโƒฃ Whichever resolution is countable, the values should be towards ๐—ฟ๐—ฒ๐—ฎ๐—น๐—ถ๐˜€๐˜๐—ถ๐—ฐ ๐˜€๐—ถ๐—ฑ๐—ฒ ๐˜๐—ต๐—ฎ๐—ป ๐—ถ๐—ฑ๐—ฒ๐—ฎ๐—น๐—ถ๐˜€๐˜๐—ถ๐—ฐ. This helps to continue in long run and we can always add-on down the line
5๏ธโƒฃ 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 ๐—œ๐—ป๐˜๐—ฟ๐—ผ๐˜€๐—ฝ๐—ฒ๐—ฐ๐˜๐—ถ๐—ผ๐—ป)


โœ๐Ÿป 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, ๐—ช๐—ถ๐˜€๐—ต ๐˜†๐—ผ๐˜‚ ๐—ฎ ๐—ฆ๐—ฝ๐—ฎ๐—ฟ๐—ธ๐—น๐—ถ๐—ป๐—ด โœจ ๐—ก๐—ฒ๐˜„ ๐—ฌ๐—ฒ๐—ฎ๐—ฟ ๐Ÿฎ๐Ÿฌ๐Ÿฎ๐Ÿฎ ๐—ณ๐—ถ๐—น๐—น๐—ฒ๐—ฑ ๐˜„๐—ถ๐˜๐—ต ๐—›๐—ฒ๐—ฎ๐—น๐˜๐—ต, ๐—›๐—ฎ๐—ฝ๐—ฝ๐—ถ๐—ป๐—ฒ๐˜€๐˜€ ๐—ฎ๐—ป๐—ฑ ๐—ฃ๐—ฟ๐—ผ๐˜€๐—ฝ๐—ฒ๐—ฟ๐—ถ๐˜๐˜† ๐Ÿ™‚

 ๐Ÿง‘๐Ÿปโ€๐Ÿซ I clearly remember Goose-Bumps being at Indian Institute of Management Ahmedabad 9 years back. I am sure, my friends too had similar experience. We were there to gain insights through Nielsen workshop. However, the best part was to be there.


One cannot do everything in life, due to capability, capacity or certain conditions. And me being extra curious, try to live to the fullest even in smallest moments. As sometimes, there is no harm in enjoying the best from the trailer, when movie is not on the platter. ๐Ÿคท๐Ÿปโ€โ™‚๏ธ


I used to think, how those students will be, how will be the faculty and the college campus (It reminds me of back to back College/University post which is a mere coincidence ๐Ÿคฆ๐Ÿปโ€โ™‚๏ธ ). Everyone has 24 hours, so how do they make the best of it. The answer was not clear at that time of exploring the IIM horizons. But now i have the answer, if someone reading the post is still doubtful. ๐—ช๐—ฒ ๐—ฎ๐—น๐—น ๐—ฎ๐—ฟ๐—ฒ ๐——๐—ถ๐—ณ๐—ณ๐—ฒ๐—ฟ๐—ฒ๐—ป๐˜๐—น๐˜† ๐—”๐—ฏ๐—น๐—ฒ๐—ฑ ๐—ฎ๐—ป๐—ฑ ๐˜๐—ต๐—ฎ๐˜ ๐—ถ๐˜€ ๐˜๐—ต๐—ฒ ๐—ฏ๐—ฒ๐—ฎ๐˜‚๐˜๐˜† ๐—ผ๐—ณ ๐˜๐—ต๐—ฒ ๐˜„๐—ผ๐—ฟ๐—น๐—ฑ ๐ŸŒŽ

It may sound funny to many, but i heard that GMAT form costed Rs.15000 at that time, which was too costly. That was the first reason, i didnt fill. I share most of the things with my dad. But did not told him this. I should haveโ€ฆ

- But during the 2 years, things fell in place. I knew what next.
- After couple of years of job after MBA, i was like what next?
- Again i got to know what next. It was going abroad. There is a big childhood story behind this as well. May be some other timeโ€ฆ
- Since past few years i am thinking what next. In 2021 i got to know what next. But over the years, i have understood, things may take time. Remain patient and work towards your next dream (and meanwhile dont forget to enjoy the Journey ๐Ÿ˜Š )
