Developing team coherence and chemistry Developing and maintaining team chemistry is crucial to the success of that team. Whether it’s the football or a hockey team we talk about, or a specialized team within an organization even a team of students working on a project. Coherence and chemistry are the two pillars of a successful teamwork, without which no team can ever prove to be effective or use their combined skills, well enough to carve out something amazing. This is why they say, maintaining a team chemistry is much more important than to address the issues and failures of a particular team. Individuals within the teams, have the tendency to go off-track, get frustrated or de-motivated. Some of them might even try to be witty and clever, by taking advantage of others and relying on their work, keeping a low profile within the team. These people are called free riders or free loaders. The team loses its marginal productivity if such free riders are present within the group. Our pos...

You get up one morning and check-in your inbox, to find out one opportunity that can help you land a decent job. Suddenly an email pops up that says, you are invited for an interview to the organization and has all other details which are necessary. You get all excited and happy, so you should be. Getting the chance for an interview like an allotted time you have to convince someone sitting in front of you, as to why they should think you are the best of the lot. An invitation for an interview means, you are already liked by your potential employer through the resume you send and are a strong candidate to land a job. So in this way you can think a lot of odds are in your favor. However, on average a hundred candidates apply for a basic entry-level position. This means that all other candidates are also having the same odds, which concludes that it’s a level playing field. So in such a scenario, how can you be so different and unique enough that all other hundred candidates lose their c...

The importance and concept of Exit Interviews It might come as a surprise to clichéd employers and other employees who underestimate their importance to the organization, that it costs much more than just human resource when someone resigns from a company. You might think that employers can easily replace an employee, who is leaving with someone new, but there are things that take time to develop and this is what costs the companies in today’s competitive world. For starts organizations spend time and money on training their employees, tell their secrets to working and beating competition etc and when that employee leaves, all this information goes with them. This is a cost which might be difficult to term in the context of financial loss, but is anyway a huge one. This is the reason, employers who have understood the cost of their employees leaving and are keen on developing a strong workforce focus on understanding what is going with employees, their thought processes and try to figu...

Writing is an art that can’t be made perfect if you weren’t born with the heart and soul of a writer. They say that football can’t be trained completely and a player needs to have a great know-how of the game in order to become somebody worth watching and it’s true. There are some art forms in this world that require the person to be born with some traits. The term “God gifted” can be placed perfectly here. The tragic thing is that even though people accept the fact that if a person wasn't born with the eye of a cricketer or the strength of a weightlifter, then they can’t become a cricketer or a weight lifter, at-least not one of a higher order; but what teachers and administrative staff don’t understand is the fact that if a person didn't have enough insight at the time of birth to become a writer of the level of Ralph Waldo Emerson then how on Earth can he still live up to the task? It’s true that practice almost makes a man perfect, but in some cases being “almost there” isn...

There are times, where we all struggle to fill the paper with words and then there are times when the pages are just not enough. Such ups and downs often occur during an academic term when everyone is working on numerous projects and assignments with different kinds of requirements. Rarely an academic term will go through where any student fails to deliver a quality assignment or do not have any problems in writing all such different kinds of assignments day in and day out. As we reach more advanced levels in our universities, we are taught how to improve and enhance our writing skills. This is because in universities, we have to write on a much more difficult scale, with many other requirements for example word limits and specific research topics. When we do not have our basics strengthened, then times where we fail to write will occur on a continuous basis. If you are a new university student and starting your very first university assignment, then there are few things you should cle...
