Corporate Adolescence

Does 17 years in a corporate life takes you to a stage of adolescent age in corporate life.

My Best 17 years learning

- Team Effort is the best effort. If on an Individual play, then such occasions bring out your weakness [Understand it] and do master strokes according to your strengths.

- Life is not fair game, so don't expect a fair game in corporate life, but then hold your integrity [highest valued virtue] closer to you.

- Technology moves faster than light. [Vanishing theory of technologies]. No territory should not be an unknown field. [Jack of all trades & King of none]

- Don’t be on a fixed mind-set, have a floating mind-set. [Similar to variable one]

- For wound healing best proverb "Even this time shall pass on"

- Understand & learn from others mistake. Repeating mistakes is a costly affair.

- To err is human, to forgive is eternal.

- Understand you are not in a rat-race.

- What is given shall be returned back. {Unless there is a change in the organisation}. Karma is there or not, some people have elephantine memory.

- Don't be on a self-serving bias.

- Have a Plan A, Plan B, Plan C, Plan D ..Z [If possible]

- Believe your enemy but not your dearest colleague, [In the same department] anyone can turn any side.

- There is no right or wrong unless there is a process being under laid, all process will have a loop hole, find it & fix it if possible.

- Trust deficit is a very difficult loan to be paid back.

- Loyalty should be to the discipline and character so called "You". Check how you are improvised from yesterday's "You".

- Corporate life is subjected to market risk, please read the offer document before under signing it.

- Be grounded & Be ready for graceful exits.



Note :- Its a bit personal learning shared across. The viewers may differ in their take away, so I am eager to have discussion about it on a healthy scale. Kindly revert back to me at sreeramkr@gmail.com
