Organizational Structure of a corporate house…………
Understanding of a corporate structure is very important to a new employee. Broadly, the management is divided into four categories
- Top Management: Top management includes Chairman, Managing Director, Director, CEO (Chief Executive Officer), CFO (Chief Financial Officer), CTO(Chief Technological Officer).
- Senior Management – Senior Management includes General Manager, Deputy General Manager, Assistant General Manager
- Middle Management – Middle Management includes – Senior Manager, Manager , Assistant Manager , Officer
- Junior Management – Junior Management includes Sr. Engineer, Engineer, Sr. Executive, Executive, Jr. Engineer, Assistant Engineer, and Assistant etc.
Typical work experience of these levels if there is not any exceptional case. Most corporate prefers the experience in age as follows:
Top Management generally has the experience of more than 20+ Years.
Senior Management generally have the experience of 15 ~ 20 years.
Middle Management people have generally 8~15 years of experience.
Junior Management has the experience of 0~ 8 years.
I hope now you able to understand the organizational structure of a company with their age of experience. But there are many exception in corporate, to recruit the employees in higher position keeping in the mind of their ability and skills.

Who is smart worker ?
There were two wood cutters- Ramu and Shyamu in a village. One day, they got an assignment of cut the 4 trees in a day. Both had one axe and they went to jungle. Ramu cut only two trees in a day and Shaymu cut 4 trees.
When they were returning from jungle, Ramu asked shyamu that how he able to cut the 4 trees in day and he managed to it only 2.
Then shaymu told Ramu that he worked on a very simple principle. After some time, when his axe became not as sharp he sat aside the tree and made his axe sharp and took some rest and again hit the axe into the trunk of tree. This simple exercise kept him fresh and axe sharpen.
Ramu told that he constantly hits his axe against the trunk and he did not care about taking rest and the sharpness of axe. He got the mantra of success and he thanked Shyamu to share the basic principle of working in a smarter way.
This scenario is fit for our corporate world too. There is nos. of hard worker we see each day but some smart worker takes all the credit. So , be a smart worker.

A Parable…The Tale of the Hunter, The Monkey & The Peanuts….A Lesson
(यह महज एक कहानी नहीं हैं......................बल्कि सच्चाई है ...)
John & Paul are colleagues who work for a food products manufacturing company. While having a cup of coffee, John was sharing this story to Paul. .... “There’s an oft repeated tale about how certain monkey catchers (Madari) inIndia
The opening of the jar allows the monkey to place his hand in, but when he tries to withdraw it, he is unable to do so without letting go of the contents of the jar. Believe it or not, some monkeys will stay there with their hand in the jar until the hunter comes back to trap them! They are trapped because they are unwilling to let go of something they are doing which is working against them.
Then the madari takes the monkey to a city where he trains him, puts a rope around his neck and asks him to do various tricks. Monkey does those tricks and gets peanuts at the end of the day. He shares the peanuts with family and every one in his family likes the regular inflow of peanuts. Monkey starts the days as early as possible and keeps doing the tricks till the dusk. Few months, few years go by, the monkey gets old – his health and age do not permit such tiresome job over and over again. But he knows that he needs the peanuts to run his family. His family also got addicted to the peanuts although they all miss the freedom and the great time they used to enjoy in the jungle. As the monkey kids grow older, their needs also increase. The monkey demands more peanuts from his master. Master gives him more peanuts because the master doesn’t want to lose this monkey at any cost.
John now asks Paul –“What do you think? Was it a good decision that the monkey had taken – accepting peanuts in lieu of freedom?” Paul replies ---“Look John, it was a monkey’s story. If you look around and think about our own lives, you will find similarity between what the monkey did and what we do in our regular life. We often don’t like the job that we do. We also know that we can do far better things in life and can earn even higher. But the regular salary that we get at the end of every month prevents us from even thinking of other opportunities. We don’t give time to our families except for
Saturday/Sunday and feel happy about doing enough for our family. And only we know what the reality is. So, at least you and me shouldn’t blame the monkey.”
“The Universe has more than what we wish for --- and they do come only to those who work towards achieving it.”

One day , the monkey meets another madari who promises him more peanuts and some bananas too. Monkey decides to leave his current employer and join the more-peanut- job. Monkey family is happier
now--- more pea nuts, more bananas…. What else they needed. The monkey gets even older and weaker and finds it tough to continue the job any more. But again the peanuts- he knows how important they are, to run his family. One morning, when the monkey reaches his work place, he is served a notice signed by his employer-- It was actually a termination letter.

But again the peanuts- he knows how important they are, to run his family.

There was one big problem – the younger monkeys had taken over his job . And the young group of monkeys was more energetic and even better performers. The monkey was very upset. He met his boss and reminded him of the time they spent together, the service that he provided – but all in vein. Monkey lost his job. Although the monkey got an opportunity once again to go back to the jungle where his actual life lies, where he can get back his freedom ---- but the peanuts – he knows he can’t live without them anymore. So, he starts looking for another madari. He was ready to compromise on the quantity of peanuts but unfortunately it was recession time. Most madaris were trying to get rid of the monkeys. After a long search, finally he finally gets a madari who offered him a job. The monkey was not happy this time as he knew that his job is not secured anymore but the peanuts compelled him to remain part of one or the madari’s team.
John now asks Paul –“What do you think? Was it a good decision that the monkey had taken – accepting peanuts in lieu of freedom?” Paul replies ---“Look John, it was a monkey’s story.

IF MANAGEMENT HAS DECIDED TO SCREW YOU, THERE IS NO ESCAPE !!!
Once PVNR (PV Narasimha Rao), L.K.Advani and Laloo Prasad Yadav were traveling in an auto rickshaw. They met with an accident and all three of them died. Yamraj ( Lord of heaven) was waiting for this moment at the doorstep of death. He asks PVNR and Advani to go to HEAVEN.. But, for Laloo, Yama had already decided that he should be sent to HELL.
Laloo is not at all happy with this decision. He asks Yama as to why this discrimination is being made. Yama agrees to this and asks all the three of them to appear for an English test. PVNR is asked to spell "INDIA" and he does it correctly. Advani is asked to spell "ENGLAND" and he too passes. It is Laloo's turn and he is asked to spell "CZECHOSLOVAKIA".
Laloo protests that he doesn't know English. He says this is not fair and that he was given a tough question and thus forced to fail with false intent. Having been a student of history (which the other two weren't), he now requested for all the 3 to be subjected to a test in history. Yama says OK but this would be the last chance and that he would not take any more tests. PVNR is asked: "When did India get Independence?".
He replied "1947" and passed. Advani is asked "How many people died during the independence struggle?" .He gets nervous. Yama asked him to choose from 3 options:100,000 or 200,000 or 300,000.Advani catches it and says 200,000 and passes. It's Laloo's turn now. Yama asks him to give the Name and Address of each of the 200,000 who died in this struggle. Laloo accepts defeat and agrees to go to HELL.
Moral of the story- IF YOUR MANAGEMENT HAS DECIDED TO SCREW YOU, THERE IS NO ESCAPE !!!

Which Hat you are wearing? Six hat technique……….
"Six Thinking Hats" is an important and powerful technique. It is used to look at decisions from a number of important perspectives. Every person looks a problem with their attitude and to get rid from the problem, every individual has its own style of solving the problem which was actually based upon his/ her traits, educational background, experience and attitude.This tool was created by Edward de Bono.
White hat
With this kind of people always focus on the data available. Look at the information you have, and see what you can learn from it. Look for gaps in your knowledge, and either try to fill them or take account of them. This is where you analyze past trends, and try to extrapolate from historical data.
Red Hat
Wearing' the red hat, you look at problems using intuition, gut reaction, and emotion. Also try to think how other people will react emotionally. Try to understand the responses of people who do not fully know your reasoning.
Focusing the entire scenario in one shot is the characteristic of Red Hat people.
Black Hat
These are the individual who always looks for the flop side of the coin. It means they consider the bad effects first then the positive effect of the decision. This is important because it highlights the weak points in a plan. It allows you to eliminate them, alter them, or prepare contingency plans to counter them.
Yellow Hat
They are the opposite from Black hat. They always see the flip side of the coin. The yellow hat helps you to think positively. It is the optimistic viewpoint that helps you to see all the benefits of the decision and the value in it. Yellow Hat thinking helps you to keep going when everything looks gloomy and difficult.
Green hat
They are revolutionary. The Green Hat stands for creativity. This is where you can develop creative solutions to a problem. It is a freewheeling way of thinking, in which there is little criticism of ideas.
Blue hat

Red Hat
Wearing' the red hat, you look at problems using intuition, gut reaction, and emotion. Also try to think how other people will react emotionally. Try to understand the responses of people who do not fully know your reasoning.
Focusing the entire scenario in one shot is the characteristic of Red Hat people.
Black Hat
These are the individual who always looks for the flop side of the coin. It means they consider the bad effects first then the positive effect of the decision.

Make your Goals – S.M.A.R.T
Make your Goals – S.M.A.R.T
During a training session to my juniors, I asked some of the trainee that what is their goal in life? And I found some interesting answer.
One said,” I want to be rich.” Other said, “ I want to buy a house in delhi” and someone said,” I want to a manager in a company.”
I objected to all these goals because these goals are not smart goals, all of trainees were surprised then I told them about the SMART goals.
I asked that how much money he requires to be rich, he had no answer. When I asked another that when he will buy the house in delhi.
The SMART goals are which are measurable and quantifiable. If you are not able to measure them , all goals are vague.
SMART is the acronym for Specific, Measurable , Achievable , Realistic and Time bound. So, Goals are to be assess in these parameters.
Example :
Personal Goals : I will complete MBA by 2011 or I will save 25% of my salary every month.
Professional Goals : I will change my job in before December,2010.
These above example of goals can be measured each day because you know your goal and its target date(s) and you will try something to achieve them if you are true to your goals.

Formula to get success in job ........
In today’s world, securing your job is really an uphill task and you have to balance yourself to keep your seat safe. My experience says that following formula can work for you.
Success in job = Hard work (20%) + Good relations with Boss (20%) + highlighting your work to management (20%) + Vigilant- Keep your ears and eyes open ( 20%) + ability to accept challenges (10%) + Trying another job (10%)
One thought always kept in mind, “ Till you are in the need to fulfill the goals of the company, company will bear you at any cost but when the company feels that you are not giving the desired output or you are used, then company immediately starts thinking about you to sack. So, Don’t be emotional and accept this hardcore truth. Don’t attach yourself with the company. We all are professional.”

My five mistakes during the 8 years of career itinerary ………….
1.Start job too early ….. I have joined a company when I was just 22 years after completing my graduation only. I always wanted to do further study but I could not manage it and started my job journey with a manufacturing company at lower management.
Tips : First complete your study then start job hunting. Don’t show your thirst for job to any employer, they will negotiate you and take advantage of your situation. First job is always a milestone in your job itinerary, so, be choosy.
2.Five Years long tenure with my first company: I had spent my 5 years with my first company and it takes a lot from me. Although I learnt a lot from this company but my growth is not at par with my expectations at my company because I joined them in a junior level.
Tips : Try to switch after 2~ 3 years in a company because after spending more than 3 years , there is no scope for you to learn to you and there is nothing left within you to give to the company. We go to our saturation point and relax ourselves into a comfort zone because of familiarity with the company and its culture.
3.Don’t Go by the name of the company: When I joined a company after my first job, it was a very reputed company of their field and I was just joined this company because of its name and this did not work for me. When I entered to this company, the company atmosphere and policy did not suits with me and I found myself in a great dilemma.
Tips : Before joining any company, check its credentials and try to find out the working atmosphere of the company.
4.Negotiate your terms and conditions at the time of Interview : When I joined another company , I could not able to negotiate my salary and other things in a right manner because of my frustration with my company and I was desperately need a job and when I got the job in another company , I immediately resigned from my company and joined the new company. Afterwards, I came to know the discrepancy between the said terms & conditions at the time of appointment and real scenario.
Tips : Be careful while negotiating your salary and other perks and ask any doubts at the time of offer letter or appointment. Be sure , that all the terms and conditions remains same.
5.Keep a good professional relations with your boss : Your immediate boss is always shut or open the doors for you in a company. I had some conflicts with my previous boss on some issues but my work never appreciated because of my conflicts with my boss and my appraisals always suffered due to this.
Tips : Boss is always right. Make your point of view in any subject but follows the boss – deliver what he /she wants.
Tips : First complete your study then start job hunting. Don’t show your thirst for job to any employer, they will negotiate you and take advantage of your situation. First job is always a milestone in your job itinerary, so, be choosy.

4.Negotiate your terms and conditions at the time of Interview : When I joined another company , I could not able to negotiate my salary and other things in a right manner because of my frustration with my company and I was desperately need a job and when I got the job in another company , I immediately resigned from my company and joined the new company. Afterwards, I came to know the discrepancy between the said terms & conditions at the time of appointment and real scenario.
Tips : Be careful while negotiating your salary and other perks and ask any doubts at the time of offer letter or appointment. Be sure , that all the terms and conditions remains same.
5.Keep a good professional relations with your boss : Your immediate boss is always shut or open the doors for you in a company. I had some conflicts with my previous boss on some issues but my work never appreciated because of my conflicts with my boss and my appraisals always suffered due to this.
Tips : Boss is always right. Make your point of view in any subject but follows the boss – deliver what he /she wants.

Before joining a company or Corporate, be alert ……………………
Aman Kumar Singh was working in a company of Gurgaon and when he appeared for an interview at Delhi , he was offered a job with good salary hike and change in designation , he immediately resigned his current company and without checking the company credentials , he joined the company. He is jobless today because the new company has a trend of hiring and firing without any reason.
When we give an interview and then we offered the offer letter, we are immediately give resignation to your current company and after few days in new company , we feel that previous company was better then current. So, Folks, before joining any company following tips can be helpful to you :
1. When you got any offer letter from any prospective company, utilize this to negotiate with your current company because outside world is very unpredictable
2. Try to change your job when your requirement is very high in your current company.
3. Check the credentials and ground reality of your new company whether this is a big name or small. If possible, take 3-4 days leave from your current company and join the new one and find out the ethics, work culture of the new company.
4. Try to contact with the existing employee of the new company and find out the reality of your company.
5. Also try to check the financial status of the company because we all are doing our job for our salary.
So, My Advice is – Change your job if you offered a better one, but check every details of company first.

My First Job Interview...............
I was landed up in delhi on 25th June,2000 after finishing my graduation from Kumaun University, Nainital.
From 2000 to June, 2002 I was jobless and always tried to find out a job of any kind because of my frustration and family pressure. Even I was ready to give my service in a Bar.
On 23th May, 2002 I got a Interview call letter from a company at Faridabad and I was landed up there on 25th May,2002.
There were 25 Other candidates for the post and I was shocked to see them because I badly need a job to sustain in Delhi. During these 2 years, I gave tuition to students but as per my family , this is not a stable job you have to do a regular job.
OK, Let us come to the interview. I was listed in the 13th number in the list for the interview and I almost thought, this 13 number will again not give me the job here. But finally I decided to give the interview.
The other candidates who were appeared for interview told us that Interviwer is very strict and asking about our past experience. I was demoralised because I had no experience. When the receptionist called my name to go for the interview, First time, my heartbeat went soaring and When I sat infront of the interviwer , I was almost trembling with fear.
After Asking some general question, he gave me a report of excel and told me to apply some excel formulae on it. Although , I was a computer science graduate but it was 2 years back and i has also done a course on MS-OFFICE but that time, everything was slipped from mind. But finally , I recalled my memory and done the required changes in the report.
After that , he told me that I have to sit at Reception and after all the interview was over, the reception once again called me and diverted me to HR.
HR Personnel gave me a form to fill and after filling the same, when I asked him about the further processing, he told me that I was selected for the post and you have to report the company from 3rd June,2002.
I was in seventh sky and I immediately called my home to tell that i got the job.
