Collaboration Lesson from Local Eateries
I live in a crowded and one of the oldest areas in Chennai called Aminjikarai, which has commercial areas as well as residential areas. Regularly I use a lane to reach the main road and the lane has few shops which caters to various types of people, some of these shop keepers do close their business due to various reasons and I did witness a shop which was kept closed for some time.
One morning when I was walking towards the main road, I witnessed a new tiffin centre in the lane serving south Indian breakfast, which was not only hygienic it was also looking yummy and there were people who were waiting for their parcels.

On the same day, when I was returning back to home in the evening I saw a chat centre in the same shop which had few youngsters waiting for their turn to eat Pani Puris, I was surprised to see new set of people doing the business which not only gained my attention and I started observing the shops for few days.
Later I understood through my known source that the tiffin centre and chat centre was run by two different people, but they both joined together and requested the building owner to let out the premises in the morning for tiffin centre and evening for chat centre.

They also requested the land owner to install basic kitchen facilities, for which they were willing to pay few extra rupees along with the rent, the building owner agreed and the premises was given for rent.
Imagine if any of the eateries would have rented it fully, they would have paid more rent for a business which is done for limited time and in order to earn extra rupees they would have moved out of their core competency, which is not advisable in certain business.

This collaborative approach not only helped them to save money on a monthly rent, it also helped them from incurring capital expenditure involved in establishing a kitchen.
Such kind of innovative approach not only saves money, it also helps other businesses to learn lessons from such approach.

 When Renault, Nissan & Mitsubishi can collaborate, why not we?

Listen, Understand and Respond

  Listen, Understand and Respond Most of the time, people listen to respond rather than to understand. By the time the other person finishes speaking, the listener is often already formulating a response. Let’s explore what happens in such situations. While listening, we may be trying to engage our logical brain to recall our memories and creativity for a response, or we may be accessing our emotional brain to defend ourselves against what is being said. For example, if one person talks about ways another could improve, the listener might offer excuses such as a lack of time, resources, or support. Alternatively, they may bring up personal emotions, like health or family issues. These reactions often occur while the other person is still speaking, leading to a decreased understanding and an increased eagerness to defend one’s position. During this type of conversation, the listener may appear restless, exhibiting a lack of eye contact or head nodding. In such interactions, th...
