The secret behind working with people and being successful at it is actually very simple yet a challenging one. As it involves lots of self-analysis and soul searching method involved before one might even ponder to attain difficult tasks. The essence is to possess a genuine interest in people, their overall development and progress, to actually be for them when they need you the most, as a real friend, thinker and guide. Also, the intent needs to be communicated upfront so that the other person is aware and helps you to help him/her through the situation. This attribute may be a virtue to possess or a habit that has to be cultivated.
Currently, most of our
work environments demand that we work in sync with systems/ machines and people
in order to produce a tangible outcome, consistently. The system part of it is
comparatively simple and is fairly predictable. We have bound rules/procedures
to follow to arrive at a certain result. However the people end of it is
different; there is no set of rules or pointers to achieve a predictable
outcome. Every now and then it can get terribly troublesome and needless to
mention, could seem as a dead end. Having said that once you break that barrier
with people with a genuine intent to work with them and nurture a connect, you
will see a huge surge in the deliverables they have to offer for a really long
time. Whenever people potential is tapped using this methodology it works
wonders. Also, it paves the simplest way for a awfully healthy relationship of
understanding among the cluster, thereby resulting in a harmony. One word of
caution though, the entire exercise needs to be fairly clear and must be
conducted with a genuine intent, else it may not be fruitful. While pretending
that you have a genuine interest to help an individual in a situation, can only
help to get you so far, neglecting it or adopting another means to get quick
results can be very disappointing.
However, once this becomes your DNA you may
see it work miracles for you and for individuals around you. Well it's as
expected a contagious habit as your team/group and your peers can notice you
open new doorways, so effortlessly, to people situations that seem so
complicated and impracticable. This ability when practiced and perfected will
not only help you gain success at work environment but also take your personal
relations to a new level altogether.
