Deceiving Designation!!

-
Everyone of us are striving  to grow in an organization, thus continuously and tirelessly working without understanding the contribution towards the organizational goal. Apologies for the harsh statement, but that's a true fact that most employees are tirelessly working today without having knowledge on the impact what their work would have towards achieving the organization vision / goals. 

What are they working for ? Growing in the organization and climbing the ladder!



Why ? Because it feels good to be called Vice President rather than Manager / Officer ! Right ? 

But please be open to the fact that "Designations" are deceiving! Lets look at below example. Here, do not bring in your opinion, look from majority perspective : 

There are four job openings you have received with the below posts, what is the immediate reaction and which job would majority of them get attracted ? 

Shouldn't take much for you to answer this, Of course majority of them would answer "Vice President", if you thought of a different answer, then good you are in right direction .....  

a. Vice President 
b. Manager 
c. Officer 
d. Senior Engineer 

Designations are extremely deceiving and it is only related to the power trusted on to make decisions for organization growth. With the Pyramid structure, what if Vice President and Directors are sitting at the base of the pyramid ? Isn't that deceiving ?

In real life scenarios, so called Vice President of a company would be interacting only with Manager / Senior officer of a multi-national organization.

There are Lakhs of organizations in India and each organization has a General Managers / Vice Presidents / Presidents / CEOs / CFOs etc.... Therefore there are Lakhs of such position, do you believe each of those have equal understanding of market and business ? Absolutely "NOT".  Therefore, these designations holds good only internally and has very little relevance outside. Outside it would only communicate the power you have within your organization !!

These are "My Thoughts", understand your roles better, gaps you need to plug to improve as a professional and not only in terms of achieving the deceiving designation !

World is being a more competitive place and to retain customers and increase the sales / turnover of an organisation, there are many things a company can plan / strategize. But many times the company plans to achieve these strategies by squeezing the existing resources. But since many employees fear saying "NO" to the managers, they take the tasks / additional load which would impact the productivity levels of their existing tasks : Am not saying here that each task an employee receives, must say "NO" to it, but my point is that the employee needs to evaluate it before accepting.  1. What is current occupancy level ?  Nobody in the organisation is working for 100% of their working hours. This is a known fact to all. But the occupancy level differs for each employee. The employee needs to evaluate the occupancy level and based on the same if it is more than 75% then he can explain the same to the manager in a logical way to say "NO" to t...

First day to office, get the best shirt you have, get the best trousers, polish the shoes until it shines like a mirror, get the best perfume etc etc..... So it is the best you put on to impress the people you will be meeting in first day of first / new company. Let's look into some of the must do things as an employee joining a new organization : 1. Be who you are : While they say "First Impression is the best impression", be who you are, do not over impress. While many employees take the extra effort to be accepted in new organization, what they miss out is probably that this extra effort would cost them in future. As people build expectations with your initial few interactions and to retain the impression with them new employees continue to deliver the extra effort which would drain out their energy. Therefore, be who you are !! 2. Listen carefully : Open your ears widely to listen every bit of conversation. Restrain as much as you can from partici...
