Nepotism & Groupism (Truth and Solutions)


Groupism | StarLight Shine Academy Amino



लहरों से डर कर नौका पार नहीं होती
कोशिश करने वालों की हार नहीं होती

नन्हीं चींटी जब दाना लेकर चलती है
चढ़ती दीवारों पर, सौ बार फिसलती है

मन का विश्वास रगों में साहस भरता है
चढ़कर गिरना, गिरकर चढ़ना अखरता है

आख़िर उसकी मेहनत बेकार नहीं होती
कोशिश करने वालों की हार नहीं होती
These are some lines of the poem written by Mr. Sohamlal Drivedi. Whenever I read or hear, it gives me Goosebumps.  This always enlightens to introspect me, How far can I go? And I am always working on the same. 
Nowadays, what I am witnessing that in this 4G world, everyone is expecting their lives to be as easy and magical as smartphones, one click and you got it! Because of these high expectations, they are taking some inevitable steps like Suicide. I had read somewhere that "suicide is a permanent solution to temporary problems". Before 1 month, one of the talented actors did the same. I am not in the discussion that whether it was murdered or suicide or someone forces him to do the same.  I don't know what it was. But I know there are many people who are doing the same. Reasons may be different like, some boy/girl rejected the proposal, unsatisfactory promotions, trivial issues between husband and wife, public pressure or family pressure, etc. In today's newspaper, I had just read that brother denying a TV remote, and his sister attempt suicide. I don't know what the cost of our life is. Is it a failure? 
Failure is a part of our life. That we have to accept it. Passion and Patience both are required. We have to deal with it. Let's see some examples. If I ask who is the star of the millennium? The answer is the one and only Mr. Abhishek Bachchan. Unfortunately, he didn't get success like his father, mother, and wife. But still, he is giving his best. unfortunately, he is the talk of the town on social media for his failures or low box office collections. Despite this he manages to have a calm composed mind to give them a befitting reply. Recently, his appearance in one web series "Breathe", has received immense applause and promising success. This year his other movie is also coming. He never loses his confidence.  There are many instances like this where parents are victorious and their children are not. 
As I mentioned earlier that everyone has to face a struggle. We have to maintain our patience also. When Yash Johar came into the film industry he struggled a lot. And because of that Karan Johar is ruling the industry. On the contrary, Yash Chopra was successful, Uday Chopra is not, in the same way, Fardeen khan, Tushar Kapoor, and Randhir Kapoor, and many more are there where their father tastes the victory and their children are still waiting.  
We have to take immediate control of our mental, emotional, physical destiny. Let's see some steps:
Motivate yourself 
1.      Tape a 3 X 5 card with I AM NUMBER ONE printed on it to your bathroom mirror, where you can see it first thing every morning. Read it and smile.
2.      Keep a similar card in your office or desk or soft copy on your mobile and PC’s desktop.
3.      Repeat this statement 10 times every night before going to bed. I AM THE NUMBER ONE PERSON IN MY LIFE.
4.      Put negative thoughts – envy, jealousy, greed, hate – out of your life.
5.      Give yourself a pat on the back at least once every day.
6.      In your friend circle, you need to keep one Jambvan. Jambvan is one of the characters present in Ramayan who inspired Shree Hanuman to fly.  And the rest is history. In the same way, we also require one Jambvan in our life who will light the fire of faith in ourselves when it gets dimmed. The bottom of the line is to have faith in yourself, and believe that you are the greatest and you are the champion. This practice will give you a self-kick and live life to complete our dream.

I want to ask you one question, who is the hero? A person whose statue we can see in our city. We are very well aware that generally, birds are using those statues. Or a hero means a person whose photos are printed in newspapers and magazines. We are also aware that the next day that newspaper we found at Shop for packing material. Who is the hero?It has been said that after our death god will ask, what did you do in your entire life? Did you enjoy your life? Or you just came as you were!  You can’t say like, yes I enjoyed it because I did one murder, 1 robbery, but on 2nd attempt, I didn’t get success and so I am here. The reason being the next question goes this way, ”did anybody experience happiness because of you?”  

Our last performance is important instead of past performance. Forget about what you did. Remember only one thing what you are doing and what you will do. People who always remember his past will ultimately walk in the footsteps of Rajesh Khanna and one who is focused on his last performance eventually becomes the hero forever-Mr. Amitabh Bachchan. If you were lucky enough to spend your teenage in the late ’80s and 90’s you will be aware of how the grand arrival of Big B tossed the stardom and fame of the first-ever superstar Rajesh Khanna. Even today whether it be miss universe or very own son of big B, Amitabh Bachchan still has an upper hand over films, acting, and many more.  

Just remember one thing:
A psychological Adult is a Choice Maker

A psychological Child is a Consequence Receiver

A Choice Maker is like a TIGER in the Jungle

A Consequence Receiver is like a TIGER in the Zoo

Now it's your choice what you want to become Tiger in the Jungle or Tiger in the Zoo?

The RACI Matrix: Your Blueprint for Project Success

Delegation is an essential part of a project manager's role, so identifying roles and responsibilities early in a project is important. Applying the RACI model can help. As the project manager, it is important that you set the expectations of people involved in your project from the outset.

Projects require many people's involvement, but how do you avoid a situation where people are struggling against one another to do a task. Equally difficult is dealing with a situation where nobody will take ownership and make a decision. How do people know their level of responsibility; when they should involve you their project manager, or when they should exercise their personal judgment?

The RACI model is a straightforward tool used for identifying roles and responsibilities and avoiding confusion over those roles and responsibilities during a project. The acronym RACI stands for:

Responsible: The person who does the work to achieve the task. They have the responsibility for getting the work done or decision made. As a rule, this is one person; examples might be a business analyst, application developer, or technical architect.

Accountable: The person who is accountable for the correct and thorough completion of the task. This must be one person and is often the project executive or project sponsor. This is the role that responsible is accountable to and approves their work.

Consulted: The people who provide information for the project and with whom there is two-way communication. This is usually several people, often subject matter experts.

Informed: The people kept informed of progress and with whom there is one-way communication. These are people that are affected by the outcome of the tasks, so need to be kept up-to-date.

Without clearly defined roles and responsibilities, it is easy for projects to run into trouble. When people know what management expects of them, it is easier for them to complete their work on time, within budget, and to the right level of quality.

A RACI matrix supports the model and is used to discuss, agree, and communicate roles and responsibilities.

Creating a RACI Matrix (step-by-step)

1. Identify all the tasks involved in delivering the project and list them on the left-hand side of the chart      in completion order.
2. Identify all the project roles and list them along the top of the chart.
3. Complete the cells of the chart identifying who has the responsibility, the accountability and who            will be consulted and informed for each task.
4. Ensure every task has a role responsible and a role accountable for it.
5. No tasks should have more than one role accountable. Resolve any conflicts where there is more than one for a particular task.
6. Share, discuss, and agree on the RACI Matrix with your stakeholders before your project starts.

 
 A variation of RACI used by the Project Management Institute (PMI) is RSI, responsible, sponsor, and informed.
