Toy Factory.....

We all have grown up.......... up.......... and above all ........ UP !!!

This can be considered as a mere comparison between child / kid / lad / ... / ... and the GROWN Ups !!! How far are we all gonna fool ourselves with these lies of promoting or presenting ourselves as a GROWN UP !!!

Lemme go through my memory lane and jot down few aspects of being KID. Firstly the KIDs love to play with dolls, robots, animals, gadgets, cars and many more. In short, KIDs like to play with toys and then the most apt options would be visiting “Toys r us” and the related shopping arena. It is always the choice that matters; sometimes the KID’S choice or the parents’, depending upon the situation. Ultimately, KIDs love to play with all kinds of toys and parents love watching their KID growing up with a smile on their face.

CUT....... now the other part of playing.....

The GROWN UPS, as I just differentiated or parameterised the groups, have grown enough to materialize the same habit at their work place. Organizations believe in working together towards a common goal and very few employees are selected for a position where they would want to PLAY. Business is a game which is never taught in early childhood but every player (GROWN UP) likes to play this game in one’s very own mannerism. The same fights (competition), same crying on the floor (job floor), moaning (back-biting) and the stubborn attitude can become the strategy to achieve the goal. This attitude brings SPEAKING culture instead of LISTENING culture in profession. When these childhood habits become a part of your behaviour in your profession then all other subordinates become your TOYS. The GROWN-UPS start behaving like a KID and the TOYS never hold a chance to say what they want to. The only way for the TOY to speak or do what it wants, is to again become a KID and start playing with other TOYS. Sounds bit weird. But yes......be a KID!!!

And if you really want to understand your BOSS then you should know how the BOSS was.....as a KID, what he loved playing with and how did he play with the TOYS.

In an organization, many a times the business develops into a TOY FACTORY where 20 percent of the employees are KIDS and rest are nothing but .................TOYS !!!
