Work Place Lessons from Office Stationary-4

White Paper

White is symbol of purity and plain paper represents to readiness to be filled. During our exams it was our  hard work &ability to fill those white papers with right answers that took us the next level in our life.

White paper in workplace is symbol of open mind. Workplace is filled with Ideas, Inputs, Feedback, Learning etc. in order to take advantage of the these benefits we need to be open minded.

There are instances where we had come across the following concerns in the workplace:

•       My team is not open towards new ideas
•       My manager is  not open for a feedback
•    My colleague does not take my inputs etc.

If we reflect upon the debacles of organisations which vanished due to competition it will have a sad story of not being open towards change.

If we reflect upon seniors who would have lost a good team, it will have a sad story of close mindedness.

If we reflect upon people who would have lost a relationship, it would have been due to inability to take feedback.

Next time when you open a white paper in a notepad during a feedback session, meeting or training it also means you are opening your mind for your betterment.
