Managing People........


"He is by far our expert of JCAPS", this is the statement about me, my manager has been saying to everybody in the organization from the day I joined the team at on-site. Though it makes me feel good but on the same time it puts an extra pressure on me. But this is one of the technique, good managers follow to manage people. It makes their job quite easier rather than keeping all pressure on themselves they offload it to their sub-ordinates. And that subordinate also feels good because he got some independence in his/her work, recognition in the organization & a motivation for working hard to become a real expert. And in this process s/he will work hard for not letting that person down who has shown so much confidence in her/him.

I am really impressed with this management technique which is not that much easy to follow as much it looks like. Any person who appreciates other's work or achievement, directly or indirectly acknowledges that he is not that good in the same work, & it may hurt his/her ego even if s/he knows that it was not their area of working. But a good manager knows how to make her/his people feel good, feel independent & feel strong.
Anybody who wants to follow this practice in his/her work should be capable enough to know when & where he should appreciate the work along with the person he is appreciating. In any case this should not come out just as an fake tactic. It should be with full confidence & sincerity. Only then it comes out as a win-win situation for all stake-holders.

So what are you waiting for..........Go & appreciate other's work, thank them for everything they are doing & put your confidence in them & then enjoy the fruit of his/ her hard work :-) ........but wait.... don't forget to work hard yourself in looking after that tree which is going to give you that well-sought fruit of success.

Cloud Comparison - Part-3: Business Strategy - Get Set Go

All businesses formulate their strategies around their strengths and use partnerships and collaborations to bridge the gaps. The three cloud hyperscalars we are talking about – AWS, Azure, and GCP – also follow a similar approach.  Before we go into details about these three players, let me list the main segments of the cloud market. The cloud market is divided into 3 sets of solutions: 1. IaaS (Storage, Compute, Network) Public IaaS – This is the segment with ~$100B market and AWS commands around 55% of the market, followed by Microsoft (30%), Google (10%) Private IaaS (On-premise) – This is a sub-segment within IaaS driven by clients' demand for hybrid cloud solutions. Overall market size is ~$25B led by Microsoft Azure Stack (33%), Google Cloud Anthos (25%), AWS Outposts (15%) Overall IaaS market is led by AWS with more than half of the market share. * Please note, that all numbers mentioned here are approximates and based on the reports ...

Driving - not much different than running an organization!!!

When I hear of the driver-less vehicles OR uberization of transport, I always wonder will it really reduce the number of people who would own the car in future? Do people use these 4-wheels only for commutation? If the answer to the latter is ‘yes’ then the answer to the former one would more likely be ‘Yes’ as well. Regardless of that, for me driving is fun. It is an activity that makes me feel in control of at least something in life. But on top of that, every time I am driving, I and up connecting what happens on the road with the corporate leadership. Here are few of those things that I have deliberated numerous times behind the wheel. Know what you are driving - One shall always understand what you are driving – a bus (large organization), a van (mid-size organization), or a small car. All three will adopt a different culture. While on the bus, co-passengers will have a chance to interact with a large number of people, you, as a driver, may not be able to maneuver it abruptly. Al...

10 Habits That Are Making You Miserable At Work !!!

This story, authored by Jeff Haden , was originally published by Inc. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Happiness—in your business life and your personal life—is often a matter of subtraction, not addition. Consider, for example, what happens when you stop doing the following 10 things: 1. Blaming. People make mistakes. Employees don't meet your expectations. Vendors don't deliver on time. So you blame them for your problems. But you're also to blame. Maybe you didn't provide enough training. Maybe you didn't build in enough of a buffer. Maybe you asked too much, too soon. Taking responsibility when things go wrong instead of blaming others isn't masochistic, it's empowering—because then you focus on doing things better or smarter next time. And when you get better or smarter, you also get happier. 2. Impressing. No one likes you for your clothes, your car, your possessions, your title, or your accomplishments. Those a...
