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 🙂

 🧑🏻‍🏫 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. 🤷🏻‍♂️

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 🤦🏻‍♂️ ). 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. 𝗪𝗲 𝗮𝗹𝗹 𝗮𝗿𝗲 𝗗𝗶𝗳𝗳𝗲𝗿𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗹𝘆 𝗔𝗯𝗹𝗲𝗱 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝘁𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗶𝘀 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗯𝗲𝗮𝘂𝘁𝘆 𝗼𝗳 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝘄𝗼𝗿𝗹𝗱 🌎

I still remember 💭 and in the past had regretted many times of not filling the GMAT form and only filled CAT. It was one of my dreams to study from one of the premier college of the world in a foreign country.

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 have…

Secondly, i did not know what next? What to do if i get the desired score? Where/How will i go? I wont be able to afford the fees and many more queries.
I just needed one push/guidance, that “. 𝗶𝗳 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗰𝗮𝗻 𝗱𝗿𝗲𝗮𝗺 𝗶𝘁, 𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗻 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗰𝗮𝗻 𝗱𝗼 𝗶𝘁. 𝗛𝘂𝗿𝗱𝗹𝗲𝘀 𝘄𝗶𝗹𝗹 𝗯𝗲 𝗼𝗻 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝘄𝗮𝘆, 𝘁𝗵𝗲𝘆 𝘄𝗶𝗹𝗹 𝗺𝗮𝗸𝗲 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝘀𝘁𝗿𝗼𝗻𝗴𝗲𝗿, 𝗲𝘅𝗽𝗲𝗿𝗶𝗲𝗻𝗰𝗲𝗱 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗺𝗮𝘁𝘂𝗿𝗲𝗱.”

🧑🏻‍🎓In my close family, i was the first engineer and no one did MBA. Since engineering i always wanted to pursue MBA. I pushed harder, studied after coming from office and over weekends to pursue it. I did not knew what next?
- 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 time…
- 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 😊 )
