Who says that coordination is not needed?

We hear that a team player is acceptable in all companies. Why so? Because it is team player who as an individual coordinates with each other so that collective decisions can be taken to achieve a set goal.

It is a noteworthy aspect that in all organizations different departments are created so that a proper coordination is happening and it must be the order of the day. See and observe any company which has HR, Product development or manufacturing, Marketing & Sales, Finance and Admin departments.

Humans have learnt coordination from nature and human body. What a synchronization of coordinated effort in our body!

Since company requires team players hence, this phenomenon has become an employment quotient. During admission process MBA institutes look forward in you a great desire of learning and sparkle of being a team player.

Professional conduct is an asset of Manager

We all wonder what professional conduct is and how it differs from personal conduct.

History shows that where ethics and economics come in conflict, victory is always with economics. Vested interests have never been known to have willingly divested themselves unless there was sufficient force to compel them.

Ethics is in origin the art of recommending to others the sacrifices required for cooperation with oneself.

Those of us who believe in God and derive our sense of right and wrong and ethics from God's Word really have no difficulty whatsoever defining where our ethics come from.

People who believe in survival of the fittest might have more difficulty deriving where their ethics come from. A lot of evolutionists are very ethical people.

Management ethos motivates us to think positive and in most ethical manner which is good for brand, company, consumer and for manager.

MBA institutes are giving emphasis on professional conduct, so that MBA pass outs must perform in companies where they will ultimately placed.

Fear Psychosis of Exam

Naturally our perception remains top of mind and we tend to believe that. Childhood perception is that if I will not fare well in exams that will expose me and I will face embarrassment before parents, teachers and friends. 

Later it takes times to understand that we can take exams like initiative to excel & show world the worth of maturity and intelligence. 

Nevertheless competitive MBA entrance exams are definitely to grab berth of opportunity to shift oneself to gain professional outlook. 

With the strong will power supplemented with focused preparation even the most sought after CAT exam can be cracked. 

Factual fact is that in absence of any prescribed syllabus for any of MBA entrance exam; it becomes more of a mind game. 

CAT 2014 will be conducted in middle of October this year and serious aspirants like you have already on preparation mode.

Simplify complex situations

The simplification of life is one of the steps to inner peace. A persistent simplification will create an inner and outer well-being that places harmony in one's life.

Almost all quality improvement comes via simplification of design, manufacturing... layout, processes, and procedures.

Complex situations do come to all of us but need to simply; this is what the teaching you get while doing MBA. You too get to know how to deal with stress which is the key to complexity.

Fresh graduates who are facing complex situations on whether they should go for unprofessional jobs or get in to MBA as PG education should opt for MBA that would help them to become professional and seasoned to cope up with worst conditions in life.

MBA still holds good!

Since couple of years MBA has taken a beating in market hence, fresh graduates are a bit confused whether MBA will help them for getting job?

Indeed the fact is that at present until you are having employability skills, you are not employable. Companies are demanding that MBA pass outs must be able to deliver on minimum certain aspects of communication, attitude, adaptability, confidence and willing to learn.

Naturally with above facts and with demand and supply trends MBA is looking to be on hold with some fresh graduates but on the other hand few students are realizing that it is only MBA as PG program will help them to gain a professional degree or diploma with which they will be in demand not only in India but Globally.

Degree Collegiate have top of mind aspiration to go for job immediately after final exam and nothing wrong with it but it is equally important to enhance knowledge base and MBA can be done along with work.

Competency prevails always

Teaching is the only major occupation of man for which we have not yet developed tools that make an average person capable of competence and performance. In teaching we rely on the 'naturals,' the ones who somehow know how to teach.

Ordinary men wonder why those of only average intelligence so often rise to the highest levels of power, while highly intelligent people generally do not.

They fail to understand that reaching the highest levels of power has nothing to do with admired attributes such as intelligence and competence.

The predominant characteristic of those who rise to the highest levels of power is a total disregard for the consequences – including death – that will befall thousands or hundreds of thousands, or millions of human beings if it is deemed necessary to attain his / her goals.

Generally speaking, it is this total disregard for humanity that has distinguished ‘rulers’ throughout history.

But to achieve professional competency you will have to sincerely take steps and one of the top priority is to declare zero tolerance for incompetency, lethargy and procrastination.

Let’s clear our mind blocks

Over a period of time we all make a mental set which is a natural phenomenon but problem arises when we analyze that whether mind set is positive or negative.

Mind set when not analyzed or rectified perpetuates in to mental blocks which is many a times injurious.

Mind set on the other hand is useful like turning professional is a mindset. If we are struggling with fear, self-sabotage, procrastination, self-doubt, etc., the problem is, we're thinking like amateurs. Amateurs don't show up. Amateurs crap out. Amateurs let adversity defeat them. The professional thinks differently. He shows up, he does his work; he keeps on trying, no matter what.

The more mental blocks are broken and positivity creeps in, the better and positive mind set will win you success in all spheres’ of life.

To sum up the mental blocks, it is well said that “a stepping-stone can be a stumbling block if we can't see it until after we have tripped over it”

Goal clarity is a must for you!

Feeling compassion for ourselves in no way releases us from responsibility for our actions. Rather, it releases us from the self-hatred that prevents us from responding to our life with clarity and balance.

People are remarkably bad at remembering long lists of goals. Let’s learn this at a professional level when trying to get our high-performance; the longer lists of to-dos and goals, the more overwhelmed and off-track we got. Clarity comes with simplicity.

Our mind, while blessed with permanent memory, is cursed with lousy recall. Written goals provide clarity. By documenting our dreams, we must think about the process of achieving them.

All of us who are MBA aspirants must have goal clarity thru and thru and let’s write our goal and hang it on a wall like Picasso painting with great hope of achieving our mission of admission in MBA!

Did we check on our own honesty?

On the scale of 10 how much would you like to give score to yourself? Be alarmed either it can be zero or ten because you can’t say that you are this much honest and that much you aren’t. So either you are honest or not honest on your own parameters.

Positive feelings come from being honest about yourself and accepting your personality, and physical characteristics.

One isn't necessarily born with courage, but one is born with potential. Without courage, we cannot practice any other virtue with consistency. We can't be kind, true, merciful, generous, or honest.

Being busy does not always mean real work. The object of all work is production or accomplishment and to either of these ends there must be forethought, system, planning, intelligence, and honest purpose, as well as perspiration. Seeming to do is not doing.

Let us raise a standard to which the wise and honest can repair; the rest is in the hands of God.

Set a Goal for you

Success is steady progress toward one's personal goals. Setting goals is the first step in turning the invisible into the visible. A winner is someone who recognizes his God-given talents, works his tail off to develop them into skills, and uses these skills to accomplish his goals.

Crystallize your goals. Make a plan for achieving them and set yourself a deadline. Then, with supreme confidence, determination and disregard for obstacles and other people's criticisms carry out your plan.
Our goals can only be reached through a vehicle of a plan, in which we must fervently believe, and upon which we must vigorously act. There is no other route to success.

Those of you who wish to go for MBA , it is right time to set the goal and start giving shape to it with execution plan.

Networking has hidden learning too

Networking is not about just connecting people. It’s about connecting people with people, people with ideas, and people with opportunities.

We all know that networking is meaningful exercise to take the message across masses but one constant condition remains paramount that all who are networked must be in sync with same threads of trust, understanding, and execution.

Networking does have hidden learning also in the form of dissent, cynicism, criticism, designs, goals and maneuvering.

Professionals network with aim of learning and understanding new trends in market place, this gives them idea to know more and get feedback on their Brands and reposition before consumers. 

Networking is a phenomenon which requires street smartness, presentable, open minded leadership who must be willing to accept challenge of change.

Hope is universal to mankind

I find hope in the darkest of days, and focus in the brightest. I do not judge the universe.  Says, Dalai Lama.

But on the contrary Youth is easily deceived because it is quick to hope.  This is what Aristotle  envisaged.
Dilemma is that we all hope to do our best and sometimes we do hope against hope to happen the ordeal in our way particularly in exams.

Indeed all humans think alike and we continue to hope in our worst circumstances too. And why not; this is what we get through our morning prayers too.

Let’s pause for a while and think a bit differently as we are supposedly future managers of a company as MBA students.   Hope can be converted to an end result of a hard work, planning and execution to the excellent finesse!
