Being a successful (un)limited leader

-

 Context:

X is a Sr manager with one of the top IT company and has been successful in delivering products/solutions as per the plan keeping customer a priority.


With his current employment, he has been having few hard situations and there are escalation on his communication style, while everyone really appreciate with X is bringing to the table, the communication style is attracting more attention.


X thinks acknowledges and is looking to get coached on addressing the communication style problem.



Goal:


To be highly productive and make effective communication (so that others do not get affected negatively).



How do you measure the success?

  • Leading highly productive team that innovates and finds no limitations for their work.
  • No escalations on the communication style.
  • Teams with satisfaction.



What is causing?


Probably different goals by different teams.  When teams work for their own team goal than a collective goal(s),  that causes conflict and the communication  style issues are a manifestation of  something going beyond threshold limits.



Can we be have teams with different goals and still achieve goal?


  • Achieving partial goals is possible, no issues on communication style can be addressed but you may need to downgrade his startup mind set.   Plan something and deliver that and limit with it.  Other teams will do their own goal and path.
  • Or it is possible that the teams goals are aligned such a way that they are in synergy, when this happens this is effectively one goal.



Are your team goals superior than other team goals?


No, this perspective is wrong.  We should not be having this perception. The conflict of not having right set of goals should not be viewed as friction between goals of different teams.  It rather a misaligned set of goals across team and the higher level manager, ideally should take responsibility of setting a synchronized set of goals across teams.


Resolution


Live life with controlled challenges. Uncontrolled or beyond control situations, leave it to manager to deal with it. 

Reduce the impact of the problems at work place with other teams or managers etc by focussing on the work at hand, work with team, make best out of the work, do in best way, innovate, make solutions, make sure team is happy. 


The goal is to make at least 85% of what fills the mind to be the stuff that can be controlled, managed by you and there will be 15% that is beyond control, you may know its really bad but  making sure the self and the team do not get affected negatively is important.


Make the best of what you have!,  There is no perfect world.

ఈ రోజు ఆదివారం అంధ్రజ్యొతి లొ కథ గూడు చదివాను. వాస్తవాన్ని అద్దం పట్టినట్టుగా ఉంది. ఎంత నిజం? థండాలలో\ పల్లెటూర్లలొ ఇల్లు కట్టడం అంటే మాటలా? పల్లెటూరి సమస్యలు చిత్రంగా ఉంటాయి, మొదట చూసినప్పుడు వాల్ల మీద అసహ్యం కొపం వికారం లాంటివి కలుగుతాయి. కాని పెదరికం వాల్ల జీవితాలని బలి తీసుకుంటొంది. చాలా కష్తం పెదరికం లొ బతకడం. ఎదో ఆర్తికల్ చదివి సమ్మరి చెప్పడం అని కాదు,నిజం అనుభవం తో చెబుతున్నా. మొన్నటి దాక మట్టి మిద్దె ఇంట్లోనె గడిపాను. 2 సంవత్సరాల ముందు అనుకుంటా దీపావళి రొజు వర్షం వచ్చి రాత్రి మొత్తం ఇంత్లొ పొటుకు. వర్షం నీల్లతో ఇల్లంతా నిందిపొయింది. ఉదయాన్నె చూస్తె చిన్నన్న వాల్ల దొడ్లొకి నీళ్లు పొతున్నయని గొదవకొచ్చాడు. బాధ, కోపం కలగలిపిన మనసుతో పేరంట్స్ కి ఊల్లొ ఇళ్లు కట్టాలని నిర్ణయం. ఎదొరకంగా ఇల్లైతె కట్టాను కాని అప్పుల్లొ కూరుకొని పొయాను. నాన్ననెమో అనుభవం లెకపొవడంతో డబ్బులు దుభారాగ ఖర్చు చెసాడు. సరే ఇదంతా సొధి ఎందుకు ఇప్పుడు? కథకి దీనికి సంబధం ఉంది.ఇందిరమ్మ పథకం అంటూ కెంద్ర ప్రభుత్వం ఇచ్చిన ఎదో పథకాన్ని పెరు మార్చి 30 వేలతో ఇల్లు కట్టుకొమనడం ఊ పెద్ద జొకు. సాఫ్త...

The inhumane war

The unfortunate byproduct of flagging every revolt as terrorism act and making innocents pay their life for it, does not actually solve but makes it complex and bigger. There is too much of support to Israel and the age old American policies blindly supports, enemy of friend as enemy. Thousands of innocents lost lives on other side of fence and still losing.  Humans are not equival. Jews and Christians have more value to life than others or could it be that countries with higher per capital income have their people valued more. Time magazine recent cover shows trauma of the Oct 7 Massacre, what about innocent people losing life every day on other side ?   It is unfortunate and uncomforting thing that those who still survive this, what stories they tell about it?.what happens to the kids who are facing problems now? Will they turn out to be loyal fans of west? or are they going to revolt? Science has developed so much but unfortunately simple facts are being ig...

Friends Forever

Forever Friends You Promised "Friends Forever" you promised. "together till the end" We did everything with each other. you were my best friend. When i was sad, you were by my side. when i was scared, you felt my fear. You were my best support- If i needed you, you were there. You were the greatest friend, You always knew what to say: You made everything seem better. As long as we had each other, Everything would be okay. But somewhere along tha line, We slowly came apart. I was here, you were there, It tore a hole in my heart. Things were changing, Our cheerful music reversed its tune. It was like having salt without pepper, A sun without its moon. Suddenly we were miles apart, Two different people, with nothing the same. Although we knew deep in our hearts Neither of us was to blame. You had made many knew friends And luckily, so had i But that didn't change the hurt- The loss of our friendship made me cry As we grow older, things must change But they don...
