I Cant be selfish

Another week passed by and it is getting complicated. Don’t know who is right and who is wrong. Let me voice out only my feeling and not the incidents this time.

Bank Head’s job is a strenuous job and no matter how much one tries to balance the things, there is always unevenness, a difference creeps in and probably this is where the principles of management do fill in. Over the past six months I have tried to balance this phenomenon with myself taking the biggest misses in all the incidents. I have not been able to claim my regular perks (financial jolt), not been able to take care of my family and friends ( emotional n social jolt), not been able to fill in my annual appraisal leading to my controller giving their own report ( opportunity jolt) etc. In all the circumstances I have been at the bearing end because of my involvement in other issues, other incidents and others problems. Bank has always been my priority and will remain. After banking it is my people (who are dependent on me) and finally it is me (if I am left with something). I have always tried to give my best for achieving the mandate of other people and in the process sacrificed myself. Even after this the people ask for more and never realise what is going on with me, leave behind supporting me. Many a times I feel I ought to think of myself first and this look after others but ALAS I CANT BE SELFISH.

Leh.. Lets Enjoy Here

Finally we come to the conclusion of our Leh so-journ. Hope you will enjoy reading it. Leh has its own strengths and so has its weaknesses. It has always enticed people but owing to its geography and sparse population, the stay can be a challenge. One important tenet for enjoying tenure has to be the company in which you dwell. Thankfully and barring initial few months, the time spent in Leh has been well spent. The whole credit shall go to the amazing company we had together. Be it Saspol or Leh, the people around me were very encouraging and supportive. And during the later part of tenure, the arrival of Chief Manager Ramanjeet was just icing on the cake.   Raman Sir and I shared a great camaraderie. Infact, in the first meeting, we got together very well. Even our way of analysing the things was exactly similar. Although I was 60 kms from Leh main branch, yet we had developed instant friendship which continues till today and hopefully, flourishes in future. On holidays we w...

My award winning essay on State Bank

During my sojourn through State Bank, I received numerous appreciations and accolades. One of the noted one was the Essay Competition in March last year wherein my entry was declared the third best in entire India. I reproduce the same here. The topic was related to making State Bank the numero uno bank in the world. Please read and do provide your valuable feedback.   “Business success is less a function of grandiose predictions than it is a result of being able to respond rapidly to real changes as they occur.” Jack Welch, former CEO at GE & famous management guru. State Bank of India has been the pioneer in Indian Banking Industry-pioneer in banking practices, pioneer in products & services and pioneer in the management & implementation. Yet the bank is not where it should have been. Careful analysis of the top 20 banks globally indicates failure to put State Bank at the top. Even current Finance Minister strategizes to put Indian Banking at the world stage...
