Strategic vs Operational HR (23-Jan-2018)

I frequently come across new entrants HR guys, who are afraid of the word "Strategy" & that motivated me to try to explain the concept in easy to understand words. To put it simply –Operational would look at the short term. Strategic would look at the long term. When a recruiter gets into the process of Recruitment to close a position, he acts as an Operational HR. When that guy defines that process, turns that process into policy, forecasts total manpower required in next one year & plan the activities to achieve those numbers, he becomes a strategic HR. I personally like Wayne Brockbank's Competitive Advantage model to understand different stages of HR. 1) Operationally Reactive-Implement the basics.(Ex-Hiring) 2) Operationally Proactive-Improves the basics.(Ex-Improving the Hiring Process) 3) Strategically Reactive-Makes Strategy happen.(Ex-Change Management as per Change in the Business Strategy) 4) Strategically Proactive-Creates Strategic Alternative(Ex-Identifying Merger & Acquisition opportunities) Remember the most damaging statement is "It's always been done that way". The strategy is to make the good processes better. Do you want to discuss in detail or contribute, Feel free to ping me, Its free 😉 Anupam S Shlok

Morality, Ethics are not applicable to successful (22-Jan-2018)

People who believe "Truth always wins" or "Eventually you get what you deserve" live in illusions. If you think your colleague has survived in the industry for last 15 years only by licking the boots of bosses, let me tell you that his strategy is not bad.

A simple google search will tell you that, all the great companies or empires in the human history were never 100% ethical. Morality is an exaggerated concept. It is spread by the people who are sitting at the Top and does not want others to reach there. That's why they create fear of immorality in the heart of ambitious human species. In other cases, it is a hyped concept for the losers to justify their losses.

Companies employing 4000 people but polluting the environment, do we do anything significant to them in any developing nation? No, we need them, that's why ethics go to the backseat.Morality and ethics are subjective, changes society to society & Individual to Individual.

How many Indian companies do Ethical Hiring? Don't only they hire people with references?Do they have any system to judge true capability? Stop telling your current CTC & Designation to Recruiters,99% of them will not have any clue about Where do you exactly fit?

Did you feel good today? (18-Jan-2018)

I met a founder of a successful company, who was a friend of my brother. He was young, successful, proud BMW owner but frustrated with his life. The girl he loved was getting married to some other guy. He had no time to meet his parents. He had not gone to public gatherings, marriage functions, except seminars and conferences since ages.

I heard, he tried to commit suicide last night.

Guys, Career is one part of life, not life itself.

Do you know what exactly is life? The time you spent with your family your friends is the life. The time you spent telling your loved ones, how much you love them is the life.

Remember, the company you work for is selfish.Spending your days and night for the company you work is your own choice, the moment you don't look useful or you are not friends with powerful Managers, you'll be thrown out.

Ask yourself, In the whole day, how many times you have felt good?Laughed at some genuine funny moment?If not, stop looking at heavy paycheck you get every month and find out that thing which you are missing at this moment. 

Remember #Gautam?

Becoming King is not worthy if you are destined to become #Buddha.

Dear Corporate Arjunas (19-Jan-2018)

Yes, they are less capable, still earning more.

Yes, they are less hardworking, still growing more.

Yes, they are less educated, still getting better opportunities.

Yes, they are lesser intelligent, still recognized more.

Are you jealous?

Are you frustrated?

Are you surprised?

One thing you haven't realized & that is "You have a right to perform your prescribed duty, but you are not entitled to the fruits of action". Yes, you got it right this is what Lord Krishna told Arjuna.

Yes,it hurts,when you don't get a well-deserved promotion or a pay raise. Yes,it hurts when your juniors crack the Interview of your dream company but you do not.Yes,it hurts,when you have a Unique Business idea but everyone except you get funding.

Do you know why?

#Karma 

Motivational gurus will misguide by telling "By Hard work & determination you can achieve everything"

"They are bunch of liars"

Equal Hard work & Equal Determination does not give you Equal Results.

This Uncontrollability of results is what makes Life Fun & Beautiful.Keep doing all the great things, keep trying but Stop regretting failures,because you cant control the fruits of your Hard work.

"Failure is not bad,Inaction is."
