An organisation can be a Poem or a Symphony.

When too many poets recite together, even a beautiful poem can sound like a cacophony. In contrast, when each poet is given a chance to recite separately, it can express melancholy. If everyone recites a poem in unison, it becomes an oratorio. However, if the same poets are trained and guided for a better experience, it transforms into a treat for the ears.

Similarly, when numerous instruments play together, following their respective notes, and if they meet particular musical criteria, it becomes a symphony. An experienced composer crafts a symphony, which becomes a musical delight when well-conducted.

Drawing a parallel to an organisation, when too many people speak simultaneously, it results in noise and unproductive discussions. However, when individuals are given time to speak, the conversation becomes meaningful. If everyone is committed to a shared goal, the meeting becomes successful. Just as a symphony requires an expert composer who understands the nuances of each musical instrument, a leader must be aware of the strengths of their team members so that, when they collaborate, they can achieve the best results.

An organisation can be a poem and a symphony, depending on how we manage the people involved.

I pay tribute to Maestro Ilaiyaraaja for being the first Indian to compose a symphony, "Valiant." May he remain jubilant forever, and may his music fill the air so that we breathe melody daily.

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...
