  • The Use of Rewards and Recognition Awards in Organizations

    Business Gyan

    Recognition and Reward programs focus on achieving specific performance outcome. Not to be confused with normal sales commission bases, stock options, or other types of cash payment arrangements, these programs can be considered “Classic Incentive Programs”in the truest sense. In my experience the types of awards used across industries are Cash, Travel, Merchandise and Pre-Paid Cards.

    True to the classic definition, majority of the programs are for internal company employees and people…

  • 5 Things Never Heard at Innovative Companies

    Business Gyan

    "If you aren’t constantly innovating, your organization is most likely losing its edge. If your innovations are incremental – not big enough to move the needle – you’re still losing."

  • Seven Leadership Lessons from Great Basketball Coaches

    Business Gyan

    Great coaches flex their system, but not their philosophy. All great coaches have a coaching philosophy. They know it takes skill in all phases of the game, but it’s their philosophy that informs their focus. Some coaches always have great rebounding teams; some focus on a fast break offense; some are defensive minded. Yet, if their current lines up gives them different strengths, they may flex their system or make adjustments to best take advantage of the current talent. Non-basketball leaders…

Yet, if their current lines up gives them different strengths, they may flex their system or make adjustments to best take advantage of the current talent. Non-basketball leaders must do the same thing – focus on your core philosophy, yet be flexible in implementation based on the circumstances and talent on your team.

  • Why HR Is Doomed

    Business Gyan

    Big surprise and it is a pretty high risk, high reward statement: “In 2020, HR as an independent function will no longer exist.”

    That’s it. HR is basically in Stage 4, and taking a turn for the worse. Guess that’s more prognosis than prophecy, but the point is, the end is drawing near for anyone who thinks that HR is a viable, long-term career choice within an organization. At least without totally being able to evolve a skill setthat can sit outside the narrow, self-defined…

  • 10 Leadership Practices to Stop Today !

    Business Gyan

    People management is in a major transition. The old days of command-and-control leadership are fading in favor of what might be better termed a trust-and-track method, in which people are not just told what to do, but why they are doing it. More formally, we're moving from what was called "transactional" leadership to "transformative" leadership. And there's no turning back.

    Here's a list of "old school" practices you ought to chuck, and "new school" practices to champion instead.

  • The Hard-to-Swallow Truth about Leadership

    Business Gyan

    Leadership Availability
    Leaders are busy people but before one starts backtracking and justifying his/her availability, it's important to understand a few things:
    1. One can’t lead in a vacuum
    2. People don't follow an absentee leader for long
    3. Saying the door is open is different from being available

    Good time management requires one to segment their time wisely.
