Today's session came across as the much
awaited sessions. We all connected with it instantly and had several insights
to help us from now on. It was all about the power of brain.
The session started by highlighting the
framework that needs to be followed in a Decision Making Process. The 6 Dos
were Defining the Frame, Obtaining Meaningful and Reliable Information, Defining
several creative/ doable options and Having Criteria for Risk and Return. This
was something I was unconsciously doing but not in a structured way. Whether it
was leaving Infosys Job and Joining Soil or Taking up Marketing Specialization
as opposed to Human Resources. From now on, it would be a conscious effort to
follow a structured approach and get to decisions quickly.
In this context, pointing out the
significance of being creative was important because that's how you can
actually come up with different ways out. Talking of creativity we were engaged
in activity where in we need to take different forms. I feel each of us stepped
in the roles as easily as possible more because there was no fear of being
judged. I realized how important it is to find pleasure in little things. I
realized we are never too old to enjoy. Interesting stories of Synectics were
narrated. It was fascinating to find the practical implications of each of the theoretical
concepts. We discussed at length what hinders Creativity with respect to the
Five Fears. It was interesting to note several instances where in I held myself
back because of one or the other fear. Some other activities offered great
Introspection in terms of gauging our own strengths and values.
The class ended with a brief overview
of Inference of Ladder. How we see what we want to see, How we believe what we
want to believe, How our beliefs shape up what we think and How we react. These
and many more such questions were triggered. The thread was extended neatly to
design our Mission Statement.
I would like to conclude by the
following lines.
"You are powerful. You are powerful-
beyond measure"
