Personal Growth Lab

Introduction

Organizational realities call for certain kind of behavioral and soft skills’ maturity so that technical expediencies match with social and human needs in organizations. Needless to say that we, at all times, are involved in day–to–day human drama full of intrapersonal and interpersonal dialogues while performing our professional roles living our personal lives effectively.

In organizations, personnel are required to show two sets of skills – one set dealing with a specific technology, be it medicine, engineering or teaching, and another set dealing with the areas of human relations with reference to our roles which we are supposed to perform. Thus, a doctor doesn’t face just an ulcer or a manager does not deal with a mere act of insubordination nor does a teacher simply train minds ready to receive information. In all these instances, one faces a human being who is perhaps scared, dependent or rebellious, or even not fully matured and aware about his roles and responsibilities. This calls for certain attitudes and skills to translate these into organizational realities.

Therefore, the challenge before all of us is to learn to reach out, to empower the self and others where the others are with past hurts  and anger, with anxiety and fear, with disappointment, frustration and aggression, with apathy and emptiness, or with the joy and excitement of living and working together within our respective role spaces.

Objectives

The main purpose of this intervention is to increase the mutuality of roles in an organization. Organizational effectiveness, to a large extent, depends on such mutuality.

We aim at enabling the participants to:

Recognize that organizational roles are a way of being with and relating to one another in caring and responsible ways.

Make participants deeply aware of themselves, their roles and jobs, their company and their own place in the system (no other programme gives such a deep realization of the self).

In the present business scenario emerging in India and worldwide, talented and cohesive employees at all level is the prerequisite of business sustenance and growth opportunity.

To build and groom line and management staff for present and future leadership.

Develop attitudes of valuing the dignity of self and others, including their peers as well as their roles.

Develop skills of caring, human relations and communication like; (a) attending, (b) listening, (c) respecting, (d) empathizing, (e) being congruent, (f) problem solving, etc.

Realize the importance of their (participants’) adjustment with the system and with the Management.

Form a strong cohesive TEAM (we call it Growth Circle) and manage the interpersonal, interdepartmental conflicts effectively.

Philosophy Of The Program

Personal jobs and roles on the one hand and inter-relationships, on the other, are the major roles of every employee irrespective of his status.

Every employee’s principal roles are to bring about the efficiency for themselves, their teams (departments/functions) and the organizational roles at par with the highest benchmark in the world, the industrial scene and surpass the best to survive in the international market.
