“Life is forgiving. Every experience, failed or successful, is never wasted. All the time spent does work towards a final goal, some known and some newly-discovered on the journey. You have to have faith in yourself, confidence in who you are and want to be, and be brave enough to take the steps towards achieving your dream.”

“It would be a sin not to remember the things that make you happy.’ He”

“There are opportunities that come and go, like the trains on this very track. You can climb on any train and it will take you down a new path. But you need to decide which platform to stand on and which train is the one that is the most important for you.”

“Every experience, failed or successful, is never wasted. All the time spent does work towards a final goal, some known and some newly-discovered on the journey. You have to have faith in yourself, confidence in who you are and want to be, and be brave enough to take the steps towards achieving your dream.”

“It would be a sin not to remember the things that make you happy.”

“Is life a game of yes or no? I wonder about the absolutes that we try to create for ourselves, our relationship, our life choices. We try to make things black and white when sometimes it is much more grey.”

“But then again, the weight of regret and asking yourself what if, down the road, is far more haunting to one’s soul. What if I took that chance? Well, if the worst that happens is that you have to come back home and pick up where you left off, at least you can stop wasting time on dreaming and wondering if it’s still a possibility.”

“I have forgotten this intimate and softer side of love. The excitement to hear someone speak the language of your soul in such a loving tone was something I enjoyed most.”

“When you find love, all that matters anymore is making the other person happy.”

“And, when you want something, all the universe conspires in helping you to achieve it.”

“The simple things are also the most extraordinary things, and only the wise can see them.”

“Why do we have to listen to our hearts?” the boy asked.“Because, wherever your heart is, that is where you will find your treasure.”

"When you are loved, you can do anything in creation."

"If what one finds is made of pure matter, it will never spoil. And one can always come back. If what you had found was only a moment of light, like the explosion of a star, you would find nothing on your return."

"One’s Personal Legend is what you have always wanted to accomplish. Everyone, when they are young, knows what their Personal Legend is. At that point in their lives, everything is clear and everything is possible."

"Everyone seems to have a clear idea of how other people should lead their lives, but none about his or her own."

20 Cool Facts About Maths

The 5 dysfunctions of a team is a book written by Patrick Lencioni. The author brings out in depth analysis based on the study about the pitfalls the team faces when they grow together, explores the fundamental causes for organisational politics and team failures.

The 5 dysfunctions of a team

Every individual in the team is unique with their  own strengths, weakness, interests, culture, skills and capabilities. Together its more important for a team to be productive and happy with a collective goal in mind.

Do your team members openly and readily disclose their opinions? : Reflects how vulnerable the team is and the trust between the team membersAre your team meetings compelling and productive? : Reflects conflict managementDoes your team come to decisions quickly and avoid getting bogged down by consensus? Reflects the team's commitmentDo your team members confront one another about their shortcomings? Reflects the behaviour of accountabilityDo your team members sacrifice their own interests for the good of the team? Reflects contribution towards team's result and effectiveness

 Author starts asking these 5 questions about every team before we look into the dysfunctions

The five dysfunctions are stacked in a pyramid and are hierarchical, much like Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs. Without building a strong foundation on the bottom, there is no achieving the higher level goals.

Trust is one of the fundamental block to build a high performing team. Normally teams believe they can trust only if they know each others. The pace at which the teams are growing in every organisation, be it co-located or virtual, building trust becomes an integral part Author cites that vulnerability based trust is very important for a team where the team can raise their hand every time they need help, admit their weakness and limitations, own up the mistake. When you want to make something part of the culture, nuture the habit. The leader of the pack sets as an example, others will follow.

#1 : Absence of trust (Bottom most part of the pyramid)


Suggested team activity<ul><li>Team introduction : Share name, details about family, geography, culture, memories of childhood, challenges, etc</li><li>Personality based tools</li></ul>These activity helps build team dynamics, create empathyOnce the trust is build part of the culture, rest assured on the foundation of the pyramid.

During discussions, brainstorming, meetings the team's important role is to discuss openly so that the discussion is healthy and fruitful. Conflict discussions without trust gets manipulative, resulting in unconstructive, unhealthy discussions. Trust between the teams will improve by sharing appreciations, sending a thank you note, sharing a critical feedback displays bold character. Preparing ourself to be uncomfortable, discussing a bad idea to see everyone agrees or avoid the conflict, team introspection will help in building trust and there by resolve fear of conflict.

#2 Fear of Conflict 

If there are disagreements during the discussion, instead of pushing it as offline discussion, encourage the team to discuss by interrupting them. This opens up the world of different perspectives both for the leader and the team to understand

It is very important for a team to have clear goals, clarity on the key decisions and actions. Every discussion should have clear goals set, review the key decisions at end of the meeting and have the every individual to commit to the actions agreed upon. People should weigh in their opinion and improve on their commitment. Commitment to the decisions are achieved when the conflicts are healthy within the team

#3 :Lack of Commitment

Accountability becomes a collective behaviour of the team. When a team member does not commit to a clear plan of action, the peers hesitate to call on the actions which becomes counterproductive for the entire team. This behaviour pulls down the overall team's productivity and performance rather than being self disciplined team. Team members should challenge difficult issues to hold each others accountable. Clear protocols defined on team behaviour by the team themselves, regular introspection, appreciations would ensure the team stays healthy and accountable for their actions

#4: Avoidance of Team Accountability

Suggested team activity to practice accountabilityTeam effectiveness (360 deg feedback)<ul><li class="ql-indent-1"> Understand the behaviour, habits that make them great as a team</li><li class="ql-indent-1">Top one or two things that hurts in the team</li><li class="ql-indent-1">One thing they can do it differently to improve</li></ul>Every team member commits to an action before they complete this activity. (creating accountability)

Team's collective goals are key for success of the business. When the teams have build good trust, healthy conflict, stand by their commitment, be accountable for their actions and are recognized within their organisation with rewards/others, teams are naturally inclined to stand by their collective goals, stay focused and be resilient.

#5: Inattention to results

Lets break the walls to build in a good synergy with the team. As a leader you would enjoy working with the team, feel accomplished for your teams success and happiness and of course for your business goals as well.

Every individual in the team is unique with his/her own strengths, weakness, interest, culture and capabilities. Together its more important for a team to be productive and happy with a collective goal in mind

In The Five Dysfunctions of a Team Patrick Lencioni once again offers a leadership fable that is as enthralling and instructive as his first two best-selling books, The Five Temptations of a CEO and The Four Obsessions of an Extraordinary Executive. This time, he turns his keen intellect and storytelling power to the fascinating, complex world of teams. Kathryn Petersen, Decision Tech's CEO, faces the ultimate leadership crisis: Uniting a team in such disarray that it threatens to bring down the entire company. Will she succeed? Will she be fired? Will the company fail? Lencioni's utterly gripping tale serves as a timeless reminder that leadership requires as much courage as it does insight. Throughout the story, Lencioni reveals the five dysfunctions which go to the very heart of why teams even the best ones-often struggle. He outlines a powerful model and actionable steps that can be used to overcome these common hurdles and build a cohesive, effective team. Just as with his other books, Lencioni has written a compelling fable with a powerful yet deceptively simple message for all those who strive to be exceptional team leaders.

For twenty years, The Five Dysfunctions of a Team has been engaging audiences with a page-turning, realistic fable that follows the travails of Kathryn Petersen, DecisionTech’s CEO, as she faces the ultimate leadership crisis.

44 Profitable Ideas to Make Extra Money on the Side

One-sided relationships, also known as ‘parasocial relationships’, are blossoming distancing and national Covid-19 lockdowns. A global study of more than 15,000 people in 25 countries from security firm Kaspersky finds that just under half (47%) of social media users believe the influencers they follow provide them with ‘an escape from reality’. More than one in five (21%) believes they ‘could be friends’with influencers they follow and around the same proportion (22%) have gone as far as sending a private message to an influencer.

The Magnitude Of One-Sided Relationships 

Despite the largely virtual nature of these relationships, many users have sought out direct contact with the influencers they follow, mostly via commenting on their posts (37%) or reacting to their posts or stories (37%).More than a third (34%) of social media users have even met some of the influencers that they follow in real life, with the figure rising to 57% in the US.

The Spillover Of Virtual Relationships

During successive global lockdowns, many of us have spent long periods at home and are turning to virtual companions to replace our lost social lives. This type of one-sided relationship has a strong pull over many lives. More than seven in ten (71%) say that they learn from the influencers they follow in areas such as health, hobbies, style and news. Nearly a quarter (23%) say they are ‘dependent’ on influencer content and one in ten (10%) even say they feel a sense of absence if they do not engage with influencers.

The Invasiveness And Pervasiveness Of Parasocial Relationships

However, social media has been important for many people during the pandemic, with nearly six in ten (59%) worldwide saying social media has provided a vital connection for them during the pandemic. This figure was highest among younger people aged 18-34 (71%), who rely on social media for connectivity. People in Vietnam (94%) and South Africa (79%) are the most likely to say social media is a vital connection for them, although a third of people worldwide (33%) say they have become less tolerant to people on social media during the pandemic.

The Pandemic Effect: People Changed Over To The Opposite Camp

Although more than half (56%) of people have been on active on social media for more than a decade, many of us are still figuring out how to balance the positives of social media with the negatives. Now, we’ve moved into a new era where virtual relationships are becoming the norm. These one-sided relationships can often lead to oversharing on social media, as people look to develop these relationships. However, this can lead to a huge range of negative and unforeseen consequences – hacking and phishing attempts, doxing and bullying, online shaming – the list goes on.

The Pandemic Effect: Throwing New Weight On An Unbalanced Scale

Kaspersky has identified five types of social media persona: <ul><li>Savvy Socials - who limit their time online and keep posts to a minimum</li><li>Breezy Posters - they post prolifically over relatively short periods of activity</li><li>Oversharers – these people virtually live online and post like crazy!</li><li>Lurkers – they might spend a lot of time on social, but they’re just here to surf, not to comment</li><li>Offliners – these people are either inactive, never joined, or deleted many of their social media accounts</li></ul>

The 5 Types Of Social Media Persona

To find out what kind of social media user you are, visit Kaspersky’s online quiz:https://www.kaspersky.com/blog/shareaware-quiz/

Find Out What Type You Are - Or Have Become

“It is understandable with the lockdowns we've all experienced over the past year that people will have gravitated towards online and parasocial relationships to stave off loneliness and boredom, but it's crucial that people are aware of the consequences of oversharing online and are able to take a more balanced approach,” comments David Emm, Principal security researcher at Kaspersky.Kaspersky has launched its <a href="https://www.kaspersky.com/blog/shareaware-hub/">‘ShareAware Hub’ </a>, where people can find handy tips to help them enjoy social media safely.

Be “ShareAware”

The saying goes “Be careful what you wish for ‘cause you just might get it”. It seems to me that, for social media users, and especially for influencers and their followers, there’s a new version: “Be careful what you look for ‘cause you just might find it”.

People worldwide are turning to virtual, 'parasocial' relationships with influencers to cope with the effects of the pandemic

The Bouchard Story Back in World War 2, in the 1940s, the Nazis occupied France, and parts of Burgundy were under their control. Orders were given to appropriate large quantities of lower quality French Burgundy for the troops, and higher quality wines were to be purchased and sent to Germany for the officers and higher-ups. To save as much of their better wine that had not already been designated “Grand Cru,” several of the local producers gathered and established a new designation, “Premiere Cru,” to permit that wine to avoid appropriation. The plan worked, and that saved quite a bit of wine. But, the best wine of the region was also at risk, and even if the wine was being purchased for the officers, the French didn’t want all of it to leave their region to be lost forever. Several of the winemakers built false walls in their large, sprawling cellars beneath the city of Beaune in the heart of Burgundy to hide their most precious wines. Among those was Bouchard Pere et Fils (which Roland recently had the pleasure of visiting). Bouchard has an immense underground cellar that covers several blocks beneath the city above, and this cellar stores millions of bottles dating back to the mid-1800s. They chose one of their off the beaten path cellar rooms that held about 35,000 bottles as the primary storage spot for their best wines and then built a false wall behind which to hide their liquid treasure. However, false walls were not uncommon, and the Nazis knew that they were likely to exist in cellars, so they were not shy about breaking through walls at the end of cellar corridors to check and see if anything was hidden behind them. So, when they arrived at Bouchard’s cellars, the Nazi soldiers did indeed knock down and break through the false wall Bouchard had built. However, rather than finding the most precious wines, they found a cache of lesser wines instead and, delighted that they had foiled the winemaker’s attempt to hide these bottles, took them all away. What they did not know, however, was that Bouchard had built not one false wall between its prized 35,000 bottles and the main cellar, but three, and cleverly stashed a large quantity of lesser wine bottles behind each false wall so that the Nazi’s would believe they had found the best wines and not go any further. Fortunately, the soldiers were not well-versed in French Burgundy terroir and therefore were unable to discern the quality level of the wines they found hidden behind the first wall. The plan worked, and thankfully, the most prized bottles survived throughout the war, hidden safely away behind two additional false walls. There are several lessons in business and negotiation that we can take from what Bouchard did. Lesson #1: Construct “False Walls” Whenever you have an absolute that you cannot give on and do not want your negotiating opponent to discover, take the time to construct several “false walls” that you can allow them to “breakthrough.” This will allow you to give them the pleasure of getting something in return as you concede the issues that you are perfectly comfortable conceding, which will, in turn, be more likely to allow you to protect your most precious negotiating points. Listen for Roland’s examples! Lesson #2: Collaborate & Infiltrate The French resistance could have opted to take a stand in the cellars and fight it out with the Nazis, but that would have risked the destruction of the cellars and the wine within, as well as the loss of hundreds of French lives. When faced with an opponent who has superior leverage, cooperate with them, and work collaboratively to find out what they really want. You can usually learn quite a bit by asking questions to get to the bottom of what your opponent really wants. Remember, humans are emotional creatures, and often there is some emotion underlying every human desire. Your opponent may not even know the thing they actually want from the negotiation. In the case of the Nazis, they wanted wine for the troops and themselves, to escape the horrors of war and to fulfill the orders of their commanders. They didn’t necessarily want or need the very best wine the French had created. Giving them something that fit the rough description of the physical thing the Nazis wanted (wine in bottles) satisfied the desire for something with enough alcohol to provide an escape and physical bottles to send to their superiors back home in Germany. “In your negotiations, always ask questions. The person on the other side may tell you they need a $2.5 million purchase price for their company. Still, by asking questions, you may find their real underlying desires are to escape the monotony of a business they no longer enjoy and to provide $250,000 to start the new venture they are salivating to start.” Roland Frasier If you can satisfy their emotional needs to leave the existing business and start the new one by providing them with $250,000, you have a good chance of drastically reducing the purchase price, maybe even by as much as 90%! Lesson #3: “Print the Label” In the case of Bouchard, they were well-aware that they would have to give up much of their lesser wines to the invading Nazis. They knew that they couldn’t protect everything. So, they accepted that fact and created a dividing line between their most sacred bottles (the 35,000 Grand Cru hidden behind the three false walls), their medium quality wines (the ones they hastily designated Premiere Cru), and their least valuable, and most easily replaceable table wines. The Nazis made the rule that Grand Cru was not to be appropriated and sent to the troops. The French did not want to destroy their designation system by suddenly elevating all wines to Grand Cru, so they literally printed a new label with a new premium wine designation (Premiere Cru) to protect the wine from appropriation. As you negotiate, realize that you most likely won’t be able to get everything that you want, but if you pay attention to what your opponent wants (see Lesson #2 above), then you can control the frame by “printing the label” on each negotiating point to achieve your objectives within the terms of their rules. Listen For Roland’s Examples! Conclusion Take these three negotiating lessons from Burgundy, the Nazis, and the 3 Walls and use them in your day-to-day negotiations. Construct “false walls,” collaborate and infiltrate, and print the label. Whether you’re negotiating corporate acquisitions or just trying to get kids to do their homework, this stuff works and can help everyone reach a happy agreement faster.
