Excellence is a comdination of efficiency and effectiveness

Guys,back with one another interesting masterpiece on organizational management.

The session is based on "Three idiots crossing the valley" scenario below.

So It started with the below activity ,here you can see mandi sir explaining to the students the activity and how it is relevant to todays organizational behaviour.

The task at hand required a group of three people to move from left side of the valley to the right side with the help of a pole.you can see in the below image my batchmates are demostrating the same.

They started with dividing the task into 9 subtask categorised below.

Structuring of Task:

There are three position in this whole task.

1. Fully unsafe: The hanging position is of high risk.

2. Half Safe: One foot on the ground and other hanging in valley is medium risk.

3. Fully Safe: The position where both the feet are on ground is of no risk.

Here if you notice all the persons go through this phase. So all positions are same. The tasks should be designed in such a way that it shouldnot be dependent on person.

So Time for Learnings from the task

Team Excellence: 

Excellence is a comdination of efficiency and effectiveness. Individual cannot achieve excellence but a team an organisation can achieve that. Efficiency and effectiveness both comes simultaneously and has to be handled simultaneously. Effectiveness is where to go? and efficiency is how to go efficiently i.e at reduced cost or enhanced safety. But to put effect efficiency one has to again think efficiently.

So Over and out for the time being see you soon in next session of POM.

Manzil mil hi jayegi bhatakte huye hi sahi Gumraah tho woh hai jo ghar se nikle hi nahi

This post is about the first guest lecture of nitie which i attended because it was invited by professor mandi and the inner me is also confused for the last one month stay in nitie that why i am here ,what i am doing here infact i am questioning the very decision of doing an mba.therefore on saturday noon i decided to attend this guest lecture because he is an alumn of nitie ,I wanted to know how does nitie helped them in becoming a better manager and better individual.

Prasad sir started the lecture by introducing nikhil and asked the students about his blog and to be very honest i have not read his blog before attending his lecture which i truly regret at the time of attending his session. Nikhil started his lecture by asking some basic simple questions like what do you want to do after mba job or enterpreneurship and everybody answered in a typical convenient manner that first they want to do job for few years and then take up business.Infact I was the only one person which didn't raised hand when he asked how many of you want to sit in campus placements which i don't know why i did that but luckily he didn't noticed it and i escaped from the art of giving some fake reply.Literally i am still confused what i want to do in life ,i know i want to become enterpreneur but then i question my decision to do mba because to become enterpreneur why mba is required .For this very reason i attended his lecture.

Sorry i got carried away in the last para lets continue about the lecture.so nikhil after asking all these questions gave an insight of enterpreneurship that one should do business only when he or she is actually passionate about it ,one by one he started demolishing all myths about doing business. The first one is that businessman have loads of money and they enjoy their life he gave an example of naukri.com and justdial that how they started and after how much time they tasted success and he told that in business no matter how much you earn eventually all will go in expanding your business for the initial 10 15 years.so he gave the first lesson of PERSEVERANCE. secondly , he told that its not like that you are your own boss while doing a business because there are still people whom you need to convince and he gave a very good example that while being in a job atleast you will confront in english but in business .you can easily decode his feelings by the preceding line.

After that one more gentleman came and joined the session and he is more of a easy going marwari guy.he entertained the crowd very well till the last of session.He shared his journey till nitie and after nitie. Then they started talking about mastishk their brainchild in nitie ,they gave an insight about it and told us how they got rejected ,neglected and finally everybody wants to be with them.they told about the art of enterprising and how till now its helping them in their professional carrer.

So here after listening all these ,some clarity came to me that i am in right track of doing some meaningful thing to my life but the journey has just started and i am still in the process of finding my dream .what to do how to do when to do all these questions are still answered but i hope this 2yrs will bring some clarity and mental peace to me.ending todays blog with one favourite urdu shayari of mine.

Lessons Of Management from three monks

Hi Folks coming up with yet another mind boggling session. Read Below ............

First of all before telling you about the session ,I would like all of you to watch the below video

Introduction about the above movie.
The film is is a Chinese animated story released in 1980 and directed by A Da. The story is about three monks coming to a monastery and learning to co-exist just like a real world corporate scenario where people from different backgrounds come to a common forum and have to co-exist.

so after watching this movie the obvious question which comes to mind is what is so great about this movie,we as a management student has a lot to learn from this movie .The lessons are briefly described below.
1.Attitude of each team member determines the fate of the task and decides the success rate.
2.Disputes tend to arise when there is more than one person involved.
3.Scientific and objectives measurements and instruments should be used to resolve the conflict.
4.one should use the innovative methods to come out of crisis.



Now comes the next topic about CVF(competing values framework)

Here in the above diagram there are four quadrants and the essence of management is to focus on all four quadrants simultaneously. mandi sir explained this concept by giving an example of driving a car. During driving we look on front and back both simultaneously similarly we need to focus on all four quadrants to improve the productivity.

To relate the above framework with three monk story we can think of when all the three people started working together they showed the people angle of it by not leaving anyone behind it,similarly the performance angle is shown by improving productivity with innovation of pulley system.

At the end of session we did a productivity analysis and we found out that three people while carrying a single bucket through pulley system is best in terms of productivity.

THE CRUX OF THE SESSION IS :
NO MANAGEMENT IS REQUIRED WHEN YOU DEFINE A PROCESS.
