The topic I always wanted to explore, the experience that I always wanted to have - people management. I started my (official) sailing on this boat a few months ago and so far the journey has been good if not great.
It is so amazing to see that people perceive same event in n number of ways. Some crib, few others just get along and others drift apart. The difference just lies in the attitude. And my job is to take everyone together in a common direction. That is one hell of a task. Being a libran, a quality is in-built in me i.e to be fair and balanced as far as possible in my statements/opinions and I am glad that helps me in taking few decisions. I can certainly agree that technology management is easier than people management.
Interestingly a pattern is developing from the last couple of weeks - whenever any challenging situation or negativity comes to me, I take myself to a distant corner and think from a third person's opinion. What the other person might be thinking when he/she approached me with that action and sometimes I also think what meaning does this negativity will have in my life in future (just an experience?). So I either approach the solution in a manner unexpected by the person or ignore it. (Disclaimer: Actions are not 100% successful so far....yeah kinda difficult to implement under few critical situations. This little but difficult ego starts playing its role....lol)
Perception is a good topic. What is right for one person might be completely wrong for another. A terrorist never says he/she is killing innocent people, a thief might give 10 reasons explaining his actions. A pune's incident is in news these days, a girl set her ex-boyfriend and his present fiancee on fire. I still do not understand how people can go to an extend of killing someone? I have faced a similar situation in past and perhaps a good reason for me to accept that people 'can' go completely mad at times. I saw that person losing his self to an extent that nobody can imagine in his/her wildest dreams. Ok...let me not drift away.
Aah - movie time now. Will pen more thoughts later.
