"BLAMESTORMING. Sitting round in a group, discussing why a deadline was missed or a project failed, and who was responsible."

... i believe statistics has some mystical power, rather ability to project a picture which may have absolutely no resemblance to what may be the reality... so when this guy from the this dept i can't disclose showed me the result of the Gallop Survey of his group i immediately recognised why the change we all are expecting is not coming... surprisingly my group had a similar so called brainstorming session to discuss the fallout of the Gallop... the outcome was never disclosed... not even discussed...

... we are not giving the correct picture in the first place when we are answering the questions... second: we don't understand the the essence of questions in the format in which they were asked... third: we don't take these surveys seriously enough (which should explain the first reason) ... fourth: the results or the outcome is not shared with the team so we do not know weather anybody actually read these things (this explains third reason) ... fifth: by the time Top Management tells us that they realised that things needs improvement and then present the next 6 months' plan to do that ,we are either thrown another survey at our faces at or (usually) we just forget...

... the reason i am barbing about all this is because i attended the our company's Town Hall meeting yesterday... so now we have a 'mission statement' for ERC ... a pukka plan in terms of Customer Focus, Self Development, Finance and there was one more thing... i forgot! more importantly... the TTL employees will get salary increments... finally the Top guys realised that there IS anomaly in terms of the green paper they dole out on us... so i am feeling better and better ...

... as if this good news was not enough... i came to know that SSC is now a permanent employee of TML... YaM is joining a company that all North Indians working in Automobile sector would fight to work for... and if he joins in March... he becomes eligible for the salary revision in Apr... my Dad's and Nano are going along very good... he is on a driving spree in Dilli... my Mom is now driving as well! and my sis is taking Nano to her office! ... actually she drives to her office and mom drives the car back and dad is happy to give company... in short... things are going good! ...

... i am in dire need of wheels... and higher degree program... will get back on that soon... and I've been awake sine 3 in the morning and it's 4.20 ... must catch some sleep...
