What is a purpose of Meditating Manager?


A manager is not a person who is running merely for appreciations, complements, increments & designations. His/her expectations might be much different than these things. His/her vision for life or for the organization may be much broader and bigger. Possibly, a sense of fulfillment, happiness, ecstasy derived from the work is equally important for him or her.
A manager is not a sheer faceless resource who is working as a ball bearing in the machine named as the company nor s/he is a brick in the foundation which is important but not being noticed.
A manager is an essential and integral part of the organization. A person who lives with huge possibilities. A person who can shape up the future of any organization.
This blog is dedicated to such managers who work with great commitment, contribute to the fullest and have a capacity to think about the betterment of them & their organizations.
This blog is not a ‘How To’ guide for managers to provide quick fixes to their problems. Rather, it is a strong inquiry about self while wearing a mask of a manager. It is more of discovering our inner abilities which already exist but are being forgotten by ignorant mind.
There is no defined path for Meditating Manager. It is like taking a walk through a manager’s day to day life while being completely alert, observant  & conscious about the self!
I invite all thinking managers to join this walk with me. Do share your views & inputs on the posts of Meditating Manager. Let it become a lighthouse for the aspiring managers.

A confession Room

  I always admired a concept of confession room! In the human history, we will possibly not find any other better way to deal with guilt, anger, envy, jealousy & inferiority complexes. A confession room or confession box is a very strong tool for any individual to take off the emotional burdens from his/her shoulders and start a whole new chapter in the life! It is a great relief when you get to know that someone is ‘listening’ you- without giving any suggestion, someone who would not take ‘advantage’ of your situation or even will not create opinion about you. 'Listening' is an emotional hunger of human beings. This is one of the best practices for psychologically deprived people who are carrying some kind of guilt! How about bringing this confession room in our offices? Every day, every minute, a manager keeps on going through a series of emotional swings. It is a possibility that s/he may keep on accumulating different emotions in his/her mind. Over a time pe

Manager's Life Cycle

Just like customer’s life cycle, even a manager has life cycle. First step of manager’s life cycle is ‘Acknowledgement’- Is your team accepting you? Do they at least acknowledge your existence in the team? Many managers struggle at this very first step and live a faceless professional life. Second step in manager’s life cycle is ‘Appreciation’- Those who have crossed the first step generally strive for this second step. Appreciation is a complement from your team, your manager and others for your work. Many managers professional journey is ends at this step only! Many managers end up thinking that 'Being appreciated' is the final achievement of the professional life. Wise managers know it is not! The third and most difficult step for any manager is ‘Influence’- You are going back to influencing your team upward and downward to agree to your points. Influencing involves changing your teams thought process, making their opinions, convincing them to change their

Pay attention to the roots…

  If you belong to a society where people break rules, break queues, break traffic signals, break protocols then expecting them to follow rules & regulations, processes & procedures in the organization is an unrealistic expectation! Ultimately, people working in the organization emerge from the society around you. Hence, it is obvious that whatever your society practices that will be reflected in your organization. Organizations are mirrors of the society! If your society is disciplined, value driven; then your organization needs not to preach it to its employees. It will be an obvious nature of your employees to be disciplined and value driven. If people are particular about hygiene and cleanliness at their homes then no one is required to tell them to practice same at office. If people practice honesty & integrity in their personal lives then same will reflect in their professional lives as well! If people respect their family, elders & even juniors then the
