Thank you for the several precious uploads you have shared. Two of your 'upload posts' mention:

1. Making others happy makes me happy
2. I find the 'posts I have received have gone up from 50 to 300' now

Well, I guess 'Making others happy to make yourself happy' is a much more rewarding incentive/motivation for your sharing than the physical count of the number of responses you receive. Keep up the good work, Mahesh.

Hi Mahesh,

All training material posted by me is incomplete and of no use, I think.

Mr. Ritesh, if you expect that the materials will be readily available for you to blindly take and use, then you are on the wrong side of the ground. Whatever I have, I shared with you. I use them for reference to create my training materials and conduct training sessions. I find them extremely useful, which is why I posted them. I had already requested to be informed about any corrupted files so that I can reload them. If they are of no use to you, please leave them alone. It is unprofessional to use materials in which somebody has sacrificed their time and intellect. I suggest you refer to them and create an improved version. If you are looking for shortcuts, I am sorry.

"No pain, no gain."

I spent my valuable time posting all this to share what I had with the citeHR members. So, Mr. Ritesh, I will continue my postings. If you find them not useful, remember there are thousands who find them valuable.

[IMG]file:///C:/DOCUME%7E1/ADMINI%7E1/LOCALS%7E1/Temp/msohtml1/01/clip_image001.gif[/IMG]ave you ever seen a football game?
Or been a part of a football team?
These questions might seem awkward and absurd when talking about How to crack a Group Discussion to get into a top B-School.
But they are relevant to understand the nuances of a Group Discussion.
Just reiterating the cliché that a Group discussion, or GD, as it is commonly called, is a group process or a team building exercise does not help students.
As in a football game, where you play like a team, passing the ball to each team member and aim for a common goal, GD is also based on team work, incorporating views of different team members to reach a common goal.
A Group Discussion at a B-School can be defined as a formal discussion involving ten to 12 participants in a group.
They are given a topic. After some time, during which they collect their thoughts, the group is asked to discuss the topic for 20 to 25 minutes.
B-Schools use the GD process to assess a candidate's personality traits.
Here are some of the most important personality traits that a candidate should possess to do well at a GD:
1.Team Player
B-Schools lay great emphasis on this parameter because it is essential for managers to be team players.
The reason: Managers always work in teams.
At the beginning of his career, a manager works as a team member. And, later, as a team leader.
Management aspirants who lack team skills cannot be good managers.
2.Reasoning Ability
Reasoning ability plays an important role while expressing your opinions or ideas at a GD.
For example, an opinion like 'Reduction in IIMs' fees will affect quality' can be better stated by demonstrating your reasoning ability and completing the missing links between fees and quality as:
'Reduction in IIMs' fees will result in less funds being invested on study material, student exchange programmes, research, student development activities, etc.
'Moreover, it costs money to attract good faculty, create good infrastructure and upgrade technology.
'With reduction in fees, less money will be available to perform these ,activities which will lead to deterioration in the quality of IIMs.'
3.Leadership
There are three types of situations that can arise in a GD:
~ A GD where participants are unable to establish a proper rapport and do not speak much.
~ A GD where participants get emotionally charged and the GD gets chaotic.
~ A GD where participants discuss the topic assertively by touching on all its nuances and try to reach the objective.
Here, a leader would be someone who facilitates the third situation at a GD.
A leader would have the following qualities:
~S/he shows direction to the group whenever group moves away from the topic.
~S/he coordinates the effort of the different team members in the GD.
~S/he contributes to the GD at regular intervals with valuable insights.
~S/he also inspires and motivates team members to express their views.
Caution: Being a mere coordinator in a GD does not help, because it is a secondary role.
Contribute to the GD with your ideas and opinions, but also try and steer the conversation towards a goal.
4. Flexibility
You must be open to other ideas as well as to the evaluation of your ideas: That is what flexibility is all about.
But first, remember: Never ever start your GD with a stand or a conclusion.
Say the topic of a GD is, 'Should India go to war with Pakistan?'
Some participants tend to get emotionally attached to the topic and take a stand either in favour or against the topic, ie 'Yes, India should', or, 'No, India should not'.
By taking a stand, you have already given your decision without discussing the topic at hand or listening to the views of your team members.
Also, if you encounter an opposition with a very strong point at the 11th hour, you end up in a typical catch-22 situation:
~If you change your stand, you are seen as a fickle-minded or a whimsical person.
~If you do not change your stand, you are seen as an inflexible, stubborn and obstinate person.
5. Assertiveness
You must put forth your point to the group in a very emphatic, positive and confident manner.
Participants often confuse assertiveness with aggressiveness.
Aggressiveness is all about forcing your point on the other person, and can be a threat to the group. An aggressive person can also demonstrate negative body language, whereas an assertive person displays positive body language.
6.Initiative
A general trend amongst students is to start a GD and get the initial kitty of points earmarked for the initiator.
But that is a high risk-high return strategy.
Initiate a GD only if you are well versed with the topic. If you start and fail to contribute at regular intervals, it gives the impression that you started the GD just for the sake of the initial points.
Also, if you fumble, stammer or misquote facts, it may work against you.
Remember: You never ever get a second chance to create a first impression.
7.Creativity/ Out of the box thinking
An idea or a perspective which opens new horizons for discussion on the GD topic is always highly appreciated.
When you put across a new idea convincingly, such that it is discussed at length by the group, it can only be positive.
You will find yourself in the good books of the examiner.
8.Inspiring ability
A good group discussion should incorporate views of all the team members.
If some team members want to express their ideas but are not getting the opportunity to do so, giving them an opportunity to express their ideas or opinions will be seen as a positive trait.
Caution: If a participant is not willing to speak, you need not necessarily go out of the way to ask him to express his views. This may insult him and hamper the flow of the GD.
9. Listening
Always try and strike a proper balance between expressing your ideas and imbibing ideas.
10. Awareness
You must be well versed with both the micro and macro environment.
Your awareness about your environment helps a lot in your GD content, which carries maximum weightage.
Caution: The content or awareness generally constitutes 40 to 50 percent marks of your GD.
Apart from these qualities, communication skills, confidence and the ability to think on one's feet are also very important.

Kevin Freiberg is a recognized authority on leadership and business best practices. The founder and CEO of the San Diego Consulting Group, Freiberg has worked with some of the top companies in the world, including American Express, Ernst & Young, Eli Lilly, General Electric, and Southwest Airlines.

His first book Nuts! Southwest Airlines' Crazy Recipe for Business and Personal Success (co-authored with his wife Jackie) sold more than 500,000 copies worldwide and was named by Financial Times as one of the top five global business books of the year. His second book, also written along with his wife, is Guts! Companies that Blow the Doors Off Business-as-Usual. Freiberg was in Bangalore last week to address a leadership seminar.

In a conversation with Meenakshi Radhakrishnan-Swami, he spoke on the leadership principles behind unconventional companies and how organizations need to create cultures that recognize and reward creativity in individuals. Excerpts:

"Why are you against business-as-usual?"

Business-as-usual is okay, to some degree, because you need stability in the economy. But it's a competitive world. If you get stuck with business-as-usual, you get left behind. Technology and the global economy wait for no one. You either get on board, or you get left behind. Remember that societies, cultures, and business communities advance because of those who are thinking unconventionally, breaking the rules, and creating new ways of doing things.

"Can unconventional companies exist anywhere? Or are there any prerequisites?"

First, you have to have a culture of freedom. By that, I mean a culture where people are not afraid to think in new ways, to challenge the status quo, to test new ideas. In many cultures - I don't know about India, but I suspect it's true here, as in the US - there is a culture of fear where people are afraid to step out of the comfort zone. So how do you create an environment of freedom? You reward intelligent failure. That translates as: I understand the values and the strategy of the business, and within that strategy and those values, I'm going to try new things.

Now, if I fail, the question is, do I get my hands slapped or am I rewarded? It's not enough to not punish people who fail intelligently; you need to reward them. If the company gets across the message that it values the fact that you were thinking outside the box, and it does that with enough people in a company, it's creating a DNA in the culture that says it's okay to try new things. Jack Welch was famous for asking people to try new things. And if somebody tried something that didn't work out, they would sometimes win a trip or a TV set would show up at their home with a card that said something like "With compliments from Jack Welch. Glad you tested this. Sorry it didn't work out." You do that with even one person and word travels fast. "Hey, did you hear what Welch did? Did you hear what he said? Wow." And people get this sense that it's okay to try new things. You also need to learn from failures. One of the classic examples in American business history is 3M with Post-it notes. That was a mistake: it started with an adhesive that failed. A 3M scientist was in church trying to keep his page open for the hymnal, and he needed something to mark the page. He remembered that at 3M they were working on an adhesive that had not served the original purpose. He thought, "Maybe it will work for this." Well, as you know, Post-it notes are now all over the world. But had he not had the freedom to say, "Let's try it, let's see if it works", it would have remained a failure.

"Is there a cost advantage in doing business-not-as-usual? Or is it cheaper to stick with the old, proven methods?"

A company like SAS spends millions on its campus and its people. That's a lot relative to what other companies spend on their people. But relative to what SAS saves in retention, it's minimal. Large computer companies like Oracle, Microsoft, and Siebel lose about 1,000 people a year. The average software developer is paid $75,000-125,000 a year. It takes them a year to be fully productive, to learn the culture and the systems. You do the math, but 1,000 times 100,000 -- that's a big number. SAS loses a 100 people a year. They figure they save somewhere between $60 and $80 million yearly in lower attrition costs. Blowing the doors off business-as-usual can be more cost-effective. Look at Southwest. Its entire success is because it is cost-effective. And disciplined. You can't be cost-effective if you're not disciplined. You also can't be cost-effective if you're not creative. A lot of people don't think the two go together. But I believe boundaries can actually be freeing. What do I mean by boundaries? I mean that the values the vision and strategic intent of the company are clear. All those set boundaries. You get more innovation and creativity in a company where boundaries are clear because when boundaries are not laid out, people gravitate towards the safe area, the middle, instead of getting out on the radical fringe. When you make the boundaries clear, people can push the edge of the envelope.

"What's missing in organizations today?"

Leadership that truly understands that any business is a people business. Yes, you have to have the right operating strategy, understand market trends, and build a brand. But at the end of the day, it's about people. What's missing is leaders who truly understand what it takes to draw the best out of every individual. One size doesn't fit all. You have to be a world-class student of people. And I think most CEOs get preoccupied with doing deals, mergers and acquisitions, with new technology. All organizations need to ask themselves whether they want to remain in a sea of sameness or they want to radically differentiate themselves. If they want to radically differentiate themselves, they need gutsy leadership to do things differently. It takes guts to break with the norm. And it takes guts to look in the mirror and say if this company is to change, what about me needs to change first? Those are not easy questions to answer.

"What you're advocating is a change in the culture of organizations. How easy is that?"

You have to have a lot of backbone to change the culture of an organization. It's not for the faint-hearted. Cultures are designed to protect themselves. And if you try to change a culture using the old values, the old mores, and rituals, you'll have a difficult time. And that's the mistake a number of companies make -- they try to take the old rules and apply them to the new ways. To really succeed, you have to blow up the old ways. That's why Jack Welch was so successful at GE: he exaggerated things. I met with Welch, and he said to me, "If you're going to take an organization of 350,000 people and move them from Point A to Point B, you've got to be at Point Z."

"Would it be easier for a new company to implement unconventional ideas?"

Yes. It's much easier to start from scratch than it is to try and change a culture. The airlines have been trying this for years. Everyone is trying to emulate Southwest, and so Delta has tried to spin off a piece of its business called Song, Continental did it a number of years ago with Continental Light. I think it's very difficult. That's not to say it can't be done: Welch did it at GE. But it takes a lot more guts to change an existing culture than to create a new one.

"Does size matter? Would it be easier for a small company to try gutsy things?"

Yes and no. It's easier for the entrepreneur of a small organization because you can change on a dime. It's like a speedboat versus an aircraft carrier. An aircraft carrier has to negotiate its turn miles in advance while a speedboat can move at will. But then, a large company like GE can absorb the mistakes from people who're doing intelligent failures much more easily than a small company. The consequences are far greater for a small company, so it requires even more courage. If a small company bets the farm on an innovative idea and loses, the company could go out of business. If GE bets on a piece of the business and loses, it's a blip on the radar screen. Of course, if a small company loses, it's that much easier to start over. There's less at stake. If GE goes under, it's like the Titanic just went down.

"Southwest's success has a lot to do with its founder-CEO Herb Kelleher. Every organization can't have a Kelleher. How important is the CEO?"

Kelleher is a media icon because he's so crazy and so out there. It's natural to assume that all the success at Southwest is because of him. But if pause a moment to think about it, any great company is infinitely more than its CEO. CEOs get far more credit than they deserve and they get far more criticism than they deserve. The position serves as a lightning rod. At the end of Nuts! is a chapter on will there be life at Southwest after Herb? The answer was an emphatic yes. Why? Because the culture is so ingrained, the values are so steeped that it would take years to unravel that. People said that when Mr. Sam [Walton] dies, Wal-Mart will fall. What's happened since Mr. Sam died almost a decade ago? Wal-Mart has quadrupled its size and continues to grow explosively. The reason we wrote Guts! is that a number of people asked us the same question

How would you describe the term communication?

Is it merely the 'act' of sending or receiving a message, or is it the 'process' of sending a message?

Actually, it is both the act of sending and receiving a message as well as the process of doing it. The process of communication also involves getting the desired response.

Heard of accent neutralisation?

~ He has got a strong Malayalam accent.
~ She is Bengali but speaks with an impeccable English accent.
~ He speaks with a broad/heavy/strong/thick Bihari accent.
~ I thought I could detect a slight south Indian accent.
~ He spoke in heavily accented English.

What exactly do we mean by the above statements? An accent is the peculiar style and rhythm of speaking a particular language; we also call it 'speech music'. Factors like mother tongue, socio-economic background, and medium of education influence one's accent.

Which brings us to accent neutralisation. It means removing all traces of the mother tongue rhythm and adopting the native rhythm of the language you are trying to learn - English in this case. With the onset of BPO and international job opportunities in the Indian market, there is a demand for candidates who can speak English without their local accent creeping in.

Your English, influenced by your Hindi?

Many speakers do not realize they are incorporating English words in Hindi sentences or Hindi words in English sentences.

Take for example:
- "Pitaji, time kya hua hai (Father, what is the time right now)?"
- "I have hazaar things on my mind right now (I have thousands of things on my mind right now)."

Today, 'Indian English' is widespread and well-known for its many eccentricities. For this reason, its 'grammar' must be taken with a pinch of salt. Indian accents vary greatly from those who lean towards a purist British language to those who lean more towards speech that is tinted with the 'vernacular' (Indian language).

~ The most common instance of modified sounds is the changing of the sounds of English letters like 'D', 'T', and 'R'.
~ South Indians tend to curl the tongue more for the 'L' and 'N' sounds.
~ Bengalis (from both India and Bangladesh) and Biharis often substitute 'J' for 'Z' (as in 'jero' instead of 'zero').
~ People, especially from Sindh (this pertains to both Indians and Pakistanis), have the habit of changing the 'W' sound to 'V' (as in 'ven' instead of 'when'). The rule to follow to overcome this habit is to 'kiss' your 'Ws' and bite your 'Vs'.

What we are striving for is the ability to communicate effectively, especially in the English language, which has the reputation of being one of the most complex languages to learn. I reiterate - not difficult, but complex.

The intricacies of English

First, let's understand some of the intricacies of the English language through these two verses from a very popular poem titled Poem Of English (author unknown).

Liberty, library, heave, and heaven,
Rachel, ache, moustache, eleven.
We say hallowed, but allowed,
People, leopard, towed, but vowed.
Mark the differences, moreover,
Between mover, cover, clover.
Leeches, breeches, wise, precise,
Chalice, but police, and lice.
Camel, constable, unstable,
Principle, disciple, label.
Petal, panel, and canal,
Wait, surprise, plait, promise, pal.
Worm and storm, chaise, chaos, chair,
Senator, spectator, mayor.
Tour, but our and succour, four,
Gas, alas, and Arkansas.
Sea, idea, Korea, area,
Psalm, Maria, but malaria.
Youth, south, southern, cleanse, and clean,
Doctrine, turpentine, marine.

What's special about this verse? Words spelled differently have similar pronunciations.

For example, turpentine is pronounced as tur + pen + tien, whereas marine, which also ends with 'ine', is pronounced as mar + een. Words spelled similarly have different pronunciations, not to mention the ones that sound nowhere near to the way they are written.

For example, you have psalm (pronounced as Saam) and ache (pronounced as ake as in bake).

Once you are aware of these intricacies, you will find that your pronunciation improves dramatically.

Delegation is a process beyond mere manuals. It needs to be practiced for perfection. Effective delegation creates speed for the organization, self-development for superiors, and high motivation for subordinates.

This was a famous speech done by a great leader in Birla.

At Birla Cellulosic, we drew up an ambitious plan for achieving excellence. It involved transforming all the business processes into the best in the world, winning all the national quality awards, and winning the coveted Deming Prize within a time period of three years. In addition, we wanted to accomplish this without any external consultant.

The first step towards this goal involved putting together a core team of exceptional achievers from various departments. I was part of this team. My co-team members included individuals from different parts of the organization.

This team was expected to facilitate the achievement of excellence in all business processes cutting across the organization and even beyond. As the team leader, I had some initial discussions with various organizations that had implemented the process.

This made me realize that such a transformation was never done without an external consultant. Hence the task became tougher, and we began with a lot of anxiety and misgivings.

This article is an account of how the challenges faced by us were shared, analyzed, and developed into a methodology of delegation. Today, many of the team members are heading different departments at various companies.

I myself have shifted to Jubilant Organosys Limited, Noida. Sameer Desai is now with the Acrylic Fibre Division in Egypt. Sanjeev Kullu works in the technical MIS, and Ashok Kakadia has now moved to Reliance Industries, Hazira. Mitul Desai currently heads the quality division at Birla Cellulosic. Ravi Sharma, Charulata Joshi, Deepak Pandey, and Mahesh Agrwal were the other members of the team. We also had two associate members, Ravi Yadav, and Sanjay Pandhre.

Each member of the team contributed significantly and was critical in the creation and execution of the methodology. We realized its benefits and therefore, while heading departments at various places across the globe today, we still practice it.

The climb uphill

The first big challenge was in the genesis of the team itself. I had to lead a team of exceptional achievers of which some members had worked in positions senior to me. So a soft issue of ego clash existed and had to be managed carefully.

Other direct challenges for the team were to design a working model of excellence, help various process owners to align their working towards it, and ensure improvement in performance.

Indirect challenges came in the form of all types of technical, cultural, and political resistances. These challenges and their changing forms required quick and mid-term adjustment in the roadmap.

To summarize the situation, unclear mid-term targets resulting in a hazy strategy demanded extraordinary flexibility and speed. I realized that I was the bottleneck by virtue of my position as well as expertise.

The team members were experts in their work areas, but expectations from them on the excellence model were different and were known only to me. Hence on a typical day, team members would complete their assignments and wait to meet me to discuss issues. I wished to apply the queuing theory in this situation and also considered opening another discussion forum simultaneously. This required another leader. This thought of creating more of me led to the development of the delegation methodology.

Analyzing these challenges, I realized that there were three distinct factors that were critical for the success of the project:

- need to accomplish more activities per day
- space and time for the team leader to think and strategize for the long term and ensure the development of individuals
- high motivational levels for all the team members

In search of effective delegation

Having identified the challenges and success factors, I discussed them with the team. It was then decided to resolve these problems first and only then proceed with the actual project.

The issue was discussed with key people in the organization and interestingly most of them identified it as a 'delegation' issue. Everyone was clear that it could be resolved through effective delegation.

But when it came to the actual implementation all of them had a certain level of discomfort. So our next step was to refer to the company's delegation manual. But we found that this manual focused on financial independence and resources such as people, assets, and procedures were considered irrelevant for the execution of responsibilities.

Hence the purpose of these manuals or policies did not match the challenges and critical success factors of the team.

At the same time, the team agreed more independence at various jobs should address these challenges. Accordingly, a survey was conducted and fifty employees across various levels were interviewed.

The survey revealed that the independence felt by them varied drastically. Although financial independence was followed strictly, control over the actual performance of activities was different across the organization.

Managers who had perceptions of less independence typically focused their discussions on excessive controls exercised by their superiors on their day-to-day activities. When actions were dependent on instructions, managers were unable to use authority.

They felt that their bosses were able to delegate responsibilities easily, but assigning equivalent authority was a rarity. Further, some employees felt that their bosses lacked understanding on equating responsibilities with authority.

Interestingly, almost 90 per cent of subordinates were not happy with the situation although they felt that the delegation manual was adequately drafted.

On the other hand, the department heads felt that exercising controls ensured effective monitoring. Ultimately, the performance of activities was directly related to meeting targets. A subordinate who did not perform well could directly affect the actual performance of the department head. Some department heads also felt that sometimes delegated authority was misused.

This created bigger problems for them and therefore they felt that doing anything beyond the present delegation manual could be fatal. At the same time, the same individual who advocated control over his subordinate was frustrated by the intervention of his boss.

This led us to conclude that the viewpoints of both the superior and the subordinate were valid. The confusion was genuine, and it became necessary for us to understand what would be the 'ideal state of delegation' in the organization.

What is effective delegation?

The analysis of the survey and the subsequent discussion among team members clearly revealed the stages of delegation. Delegation was intended when actions were monitored as a part of training. In this case there was clear communication that if the employee learned to perform the task efficiently, he would then be empowered to implement it in the absence of his boss.

When actions were not monitored and results were the focus, then delegation was good. When parameters were not considered and only deviations were monitored, delegation was most effective. To our surprise, we found that this was beyond the scope of the delegation manual and was a skill that needed continuous honing.

The cycle of delegating effectively

The team understood that delegation was necessary but at the same time if it was not done effectively it would hamper the performance of the whole team. Hence it was essential to establish a process of continuous delegation, issue by issue. This would not only make the transition smooth but also help in the delegation of new responsibilities that would get added on subsequently.

We also felt that an element of standardization to reduce time as well as individual dependence was necessary. After many experiments and iterations we developed the following eight-step cycle that proved to be highly effective.

Step 1: Identify the strengths of your subordinates

Each individual has a distinct characteristic, which is effective in a particular situation. So apply the strength of a person to the right situation. There are various methods of identifying strengths in subordinates:
- Visible performance: when a person joins the department, he starts working in his areas of interest. His initial performance in these areas of interest directly indicates his inherent strengths.
- Past experience: past experience with an individual can be used to identify areas of performance and assess strengths.
- Discussion with a reference: with a new employee, discussions with an earlier supervisor or references is an effective method of identifying his strengths.
- Assigning sample jobs: a variety of small jobs requiring different skills can be given to an individual to identify his strength.
- Victory parade: this unique practice in many organizations has a high potential to improve delegation. Although this exercise was intended to improve team working, it helped significantly in identifying the perceived strengths of all team members. In this exercise each member, based on his experiences, identifies and lists the strengths of other team members including the leader. A forum is then organized to reveal the strengths of each member. A list of strengths is displayed in the working area of the team after every such exercise

Step 2: Assign jobs as per strengths

This step requires a change in the mindset as the focus of the team leader has to shift from 'identifying the gaps' to 'assigning jobs based on possible achievements'. Feedback has to change from 'you need to improve' to 'well done' or 'I know you are the best and will continue to be'.

But how do you know whether you have identified the strength correctly? If the team member shows willingness to do the task, is not tired after completing the task, shows improvement every time, uses creative methods to make things better and performs at a level higher than his boss on the specific job, it means that you have identified his strength correctly.

Interestingly, in around 80 per cent of activities, effective delegation resulted in subordinates achieving skill levels that were higher than the team leader's own skills.

Step 3: Insist on documenting plans and activities

A vital feature of this step is to develop a checklist for tasks that will be used in the future. If the task was performed earlier the old checklist should be given and the team member should be asked to further enhance its contents. This not only ensures continuous improvement, it also minimizes efforts every time.

While assigning the job, insist on developing an activity schedule. The most critical input of the team leader at this stage is to help members identify their activities.

Step 4: Standardize checklists and shift activities horizontally

Each checklist, developed in step 03, should be controlled with proper coding

Dear Mahesh,

Excellent collections. People will really get tempted to become trainers with this. It is truly a wonderful resource. It all depends on how we make use of this. Keep up your good work.
