“Employers are like horses — they require management.”

Answers for many of my queries that popped in my mind when I was working in Wipro Technologies were answered in the second class of Dr. Mandi. And that too in a most practical way that I would never forget.

The difference between Top Level ,Middle Level and Working level was clearly explained in the most efficient way with a practical game.The game goes like this.

It is a simple game of constructing a single tower with the several cubes available to the maximum potential.Initially Sir asked us to make it with our eyes open and it was a open bid. Maximum bid was 15 and the student was able to build 17 block tower.

Lesson Learnt from this act.

• We need to set the targets high always.It is always good fall short of the target after setting it high.Because this would help us to perform to our maximum potential
• And we should not miss out on the opportunities that is provided to us.We should be smart enough to take control of the opportunities.

Part -2

Now the task given is that we will have two persons.One will be blind folded and the other will be instructing him to build the tower.With the increase in the adversity people tend not to take risks.
There was a bid for 18(just one above what has been achieved in the above exercise).

And to our surprise the guys were able to build 26 blocks.We were awestruck with this exercise.

Learnings

• Organisation is all about INTERDEPENDENCE of each and every member in a team and how well everyone is able to perform their organisation.
• The blindfolded person is like the actual employee, doesn't know about the strategic decisions taken by the organisation.But still he is the real performer.It is up to the  management to get the best out of him even without informing about the actual business decisions.
•   In this new era, Organisation is trying to split the whole work into number of separate blocks such that no big intelligence is required in doing the things.

And Dr. Mandi thought us all these things in such a way we cannot forget the things in our lifetime.Great going Mandi sir!!!
