Routine defines us not ad hoc activity

Image
We are what we do in our routine. Our routine is a reflection on quality of goals we are pursuing. We should not be judging anyone on the basis of deviations rather with routine.  Our ad hoc behaviours (good bad both) may occur due to various controllable or uncontrollable circumstances but our routine behavior is surely a reflection of who we truly are.  For example, some people might drive rash once in a while due to specific emergency, but they can't be called rash drivers. Some may drink alcohol once in a while but can't be labeled as alcoholic.  Similarly some may work sincerely once in a while, we must not label them as sincere.

Let's recall the names of some people who are hugely respected and are considered to be role models be most of us I believe... Martin Luther King , died without fulfilling his dream. Mahatma Gandhi , saw two nations being created on the basis of religion and almost no on...

Working under incompetent boss?

Image
At times due to many reasons we are headed by a person who is not so competent technically and otherwise. The person may have reached that position due to: 1. Lack of another competent person available, so was chosen as best option out of only option 2. Job rotation policy of the organization 3. The person is good technically but incompetent in people skills which gets discovered later after talent drain. I have seen these people and generally I would like to divide them in three categories: 1. Who knows they lack competence and therefore make an extra effort to get along very well with the team so that incompetence does not hinder the achievement of department goals. 2. Who knows it and doesn't want others to know and create terror in the team by using authority and surrounding self with chamchas - talented people are subverted 3.
