Development

Venkat

Introduction

• I am Sumana from C-2 batch.
• Innocent girl from a village.
• Making dreams to reality through FRANKFINN.

“Personal Development for Smart
People,” I think I’ll go with “Tough,
Big, and Strong.”

1. Keeping in mind your first day at FRANKFINN and this day
when you have completed the project, please map your
development, in terms of your personality, emphasizing on
your SWOT… (P1a)

Before introducing myself
on how I am on the first day
at FRANKFINN, I would like
to introduce myself from the
childhood which includes
born, brought up and
change in characterization
during these periods.

INTRO- Child hood…

• Born in a village by name ‘Yellareddy’ of Nizambad dist
located at about 100Km from Hyderabad.

• I can proudly tell that, my childhood is brought up in a
well educated family and both my parents are working
as school teachers in a nearby village.

• Studied in a Christian Institute in English medium.

• I am lucky enough to have studied in a medium which
will command in future career growth.

Child hood – Personality Development
Factors influenced…

• Well educated family background – which made a lot change in
building my attitude in a right manner and know the things in
advance when compared to the other students.

• Uneducated families in surrounding – As the economic levels of
most of the families situated surrounding my house does not
permit their children to go to schools, thus making me to
indulge with the people having ignorance and illiteracy.

• Fairness and simplicity - With the affection and fairness shown
by the villagers and their simple living made me to believe the
people in the first interaction itself.

Child hood – Personality Development

• Narrow thinking – As the resources available are limited and
improper teaching methods practiced in the schools made the
thinking perception in a narrow manner.

• Communication – I, being a girl and the conditions prevailing
in village with the fear of talking in public, my communication
skills are not improved in a better proposition.

• In whole I can summarize,
• No … growth in personal nature.
• No … growth in personal character.
• No … progress, evolution, maturing… make-up, disposition,
character, etc.

Teenage – Personality Development

• I shifted from my village to Hyderabad to continue my
higher education.

• In the very beginning of my college days I became
shocked due to the environmental, culture change which
I observed is entirely different from the scenario present
in my village.

• This made me to feel un-comfort and created lot of fear
to mingle with the community, thus making me to behave
like an introvert.

Teenage – Personality Development

But this situation is slowly changed with time…
• I read lot of personality development and inspirational books.

• Thus
• My communication skills improved to some extent but the fear
to talk in public still exists.

• I started pursuing the things in a rationalized manner and try to
reduce the gaps between the prevailing culture and my
behavior.

• As told by somebody “Need is the mother of invention”, the
need to prove myself in this community started to modify my
behavior to suit the existing conditions.

After joining FRANKFINN…

I entered FRANKFINN institute to build myself and to change to
rule over this community both personally as well as career point
of view.

“To understand the heart and mind of a person, look not
at what he/she has already achieved, but at what
he/she aspires to do…”

I started the career at this institute in the month of March 2008
where I made plans to make my dreams into reality. In this small
period itself I learned so many things which in brief explained
next slides.


• Communication – My communication skills are improved a lot
and now I am able to communicate with the people in an
effective and timely manner. Now I can proudly say that my
communication capability is my strength.

• Fear to talk in public – Now I can freely talk with people when
I am in a group and can clearly make the community to
understand the things which I am explaining.

• Extrovert – I converted from an introvert to extrovert thereby
talking boldly and winning the people with my words.


Time management – I learned how to effectively utilize the time
and do the things in a more efficient manner thereby increasing
my personnel productivity.

Perception – I changed my perception in understanding the
things surrounding me and leant how to observe the things
carefully and keenly. With the changed perception, now I am
able to rationalize the things and improve my knowledge.

Attitude – This is the factor which played a major role in my
change of personality with which my negative view points are
now turned into a positive attitude.


Broader thinking – My thinking ability has changed a lot with
which now I am able to solve the complex problems in an
effective manner by following the method of dividing the
complex problem into a number of small problems for which
solutions can be achieved easily.

Positive thinking – improved the way of thinking and tackling the
problems in a positive manner.

3. Analyze and discuss the above mentioned
factors, with examples from your experience during
your assignment….(M1)

After taking up the assignment, I would like to describe
here the things which came into my mind which
indirectly speaks out the factors which I mentioned in my
previous slides…

“Men often become what they believe themselves to be. If I believe
I cannot do something, it makes me incapable of doing it. But when
I believe I can, then I acquire the ability to do it even I did not have
it at the beginning.” - M K Gandhi

Analysis of the Factors …

As Abdul Kalam said…
“ Best role models for any young person is his own
mother, father and the teacher. Full development of a
child with a value system can only come from these
three people.”

I learnt the importance of parents and teachers in
making a complete man having all the good and
intellectual qualities .


• From the assignment, I clearly understood the importance
of positive attitude and the confidence level required to
fulfill the dreams.

• I found communication is a key to success and is the art
through which I can become close to the people
surrounding me. I learnt in this, the way to communicate
with the persons having the different maturity levels. This
implies if you are talking with a child, first you adjust your
self to that maturity level and start conversation… this gives
more attention of child to wards you and he easily
understands the things which you are explaining to him…


• Commitment comes through time management, if you
properly maintain the time then you are half achieved in
this world… If you know the value of time, you can easily
fulfill your commitments with out any delay.

• I learnt how to perceive the things in a positive way and
how to learn the things out of the incidents and from the
people surrounding us.

• I, thorough this assignment practically known the
importance of working in a team and how the problems can
be solved a team based environment.


• “In a flowing river standing at one place, you can’t touch
the same water two times”….
This means… try to seas the opportunity which comes
rarely and make the dreams to fulfill through continuous
hard and smart work.

• Adopt for any type of change, this is possible only through..
• Hard work
• Smart work
• Team work
• Net work

4. Relate your statements in M1 to conditioning in life and
how conditioning includes development of one’s personality.
Quote examples from what you have noticed around you
during the assignment…(M2)

• Conditioning – You can’t change your past but can shape
your future by utilizing the present well.

• The journey of a thousand mile starts with the first step.
Stop making excuses.

• Five step method to reach our objectives
1. Form a clear mental image of the outcome.
2. Get positive pressure on yourself.
3. Attach a timeline to your goal.

5. A day without laughter or love was a day with out life.

Conditioning…

• We are shaped and fashioned by what we love. Be the
master of your own fate.
• Do anything because it is the right thing to do and not
because you have to do it.
• Never regret what happened in the past. Every experience
offers lessons.
• Stop majoring in minor things.
• Have a burning sense of passion.
• Reclaim the joy of waking up early morning full of energy
and enthusiasm.
• What lies behind you or in front of you is nothing compared
to what lie with in you.

Conditioning…

comes through experience and experience through bad
judgment.

• We don’t laugh because we are happy. We are happy

reap a habit. Sow a habit, you reap a character. Sow a
character, you reap a destiny.

Conditioning…

Discipline:

Through the steel of discipline, you will forge a character rich
with courage and peace. Through the virtue of will, you are
destined to rise to life’s highest ideal and live within a
heavenly mansion filled with all that is good, joyful and vital.
Without them, you are lost like a mariner without a compass,
one who eventually sinks with his ship.

Conditioning…

Respecting the TIME:

• Today is a great day and the first day of rest of my life.
• By the time most people figure out what they really want
and how to go about attaining it, it’s usually too late.

return.
• Everyone has same 24 hours.
• Busiest people have time to spare.
• Time mastery leads to life mastery.
• 80% results come from 20% of your activities.

Conditioning…

Respecting the TIME:

• Listen to your conscience. No matter how big a house you
have, how slick a car you drive, the only thing you can
take with you at the end is your conscience. Let it guide
you. It knows what is right. It will tell you that your calling
in life is ultimately selfless service to others in some form
or the other.

• Be brave. Set no limits on the workings of your
imagination.

Conditioning…

Embrace the present:

• Happiness is a journey not a destination.
• Live today. There is not going to be another day like this
one. Enjoy the beauty and sacredness of all those around
you.
• Never put off happiness for the sake of achievement.
• The size of your bank account or house has nothing to do
with your living life with a sense of joy and wonder.
• Practice the art of gratitude.
• Life does not always give you what you ask for, but it
always gives you what you need.

5. what qualities do you think were required to lead a team
for this activity? How do you think one can develop the same
qualities? Tell us your role in same context…. (M1/M3/D1)

• Here I want to explain about the leadership qualities by
taking the example of the famous ‘LAGAAN’ film….

Lessons in Leadership
- THE LAGAAN Way -

THINK OF PROBLEMS AS OPPORTUNITIES

Captain Russell’s challenge to Bhuvan
to play the cricket match
was taken up by Bhuvan
as an opportunity to bring happiness
into the lives of his village folk.

DREAM BIG AND DEFINE THE GOAL

Bhuvan accepting the challenge to play the cricket match,
as winning it meant 3 yrs of ‘TAXFREE’ happiness.
But he did not just dream ‘BIG’, he also chalked out a
strategic plan of action to win the match. He then put it before
eyes of those, whose involvement was of importance in the match.

PUT COMMUNITY BEFORE SELF:

Bhuvan did not dream for himself,
he dreamt for the good of his village folk.
Not once did this man of character
put his self-interest before that of others.
It was this that made him win the support of his villagers…
after some initial resistance.

BE DETERMINED
IN FACE OF OPPOSITION:

Right from the start when the entire village opposes Bhuvan’s
having taken up the challenge to the time when the rest of his
team refuses to play because he wants to take in
an untouchable in the team.

We face this situation many times
in our organisations. Many a time, we give up and accept what we
feel is perhaps a lesser decision. It is at times like these that we need
to speak up- as long as we know we are fighting for the right issue,
and not against an individual.

GIVE EXAMPLES TO
ENHANCE UNDERSTANDING:

Bhuvan simplified the challenge of learning cricket
by portraying it as something similar to gilli-danda.

Analogies have that effect
and can be powerful in helping tame the seemingly difficult.

As managers and leaders, we too have this task
of motivating the team members to take up challenges in the
projects.

MAKE A BEGINNING:

Bhuvan did not wait to start.
He did not see around.
He made bat and a ball, got the kid interested and started.

Only when we close the door behind us,
we will see the doors in front start opening.

SMALL VICTORIES ARE
IMPORTANT AT THE START

Bhuvan hitting the ball for the first time in full public view and
inculcating a feeling of participation among them.

When starting any project it is important to have small wins at the
start to motivate the team.

BUILDING THE TEAM:

Building the team is like recruitment.
One needs to select the right people and motivate them.

He understands the pressures and the soft points of
people,
and uses this knowledge
to make them part of his team.

Each one of his team members is treated as special, as
being different.

ALLOCATING ROLES:

Bhuvan also assigns responsibilities to each of his people.

Just getting the people in the team is not good enough.
They have to be told what the goal is.

A team consists of different individuals.
The objective is to make them all work together like a fist,
like a team.

SUPPORT THE TEAM MEMBERS:

Bhuvan backs his team members to the hilt,
even when they make mistakes.

It is indeed important in any team that the captain backs
the right person, at the right time, for the right job.

Passion As The Differentiator:

Bhuvan and his team members played for the hopes &
aspirations of their villagers.
It was their passion that made all the difference.

As leaders we all have to be careful of what we say and do,
for the slightest sign of weakness
can get magnified within the team.

Lead From The Front:

Never Give Up… that was Bhuvan’s winning mantra.
This attitude of his also enabled him to give his best shot
even at the last ball and thus win the match.

be alert
In sport, in business and in life…..always , because
you never know when opportunity may knock on your door.

DEFINE THE ENEMY:

To the British it was just a game but for Bhuvan it was fight
against the British oppressors and a win against them would bring
3 years of ‘TAXFREE’ life for his village folk.
For Bhuvan the enemy was defined as bad, oppressors and
merciless British overlords.
This clear definition helped him to fight towards a specific
goal.

In any case,
having a clearly defined enemy
works as a rallying point for the team.

OVERCONFIDENCE DESTROYS:

Captain Russel and his team members thought that the match
would be a cake walk for them because they were a lot of good
experienced.
But was here that they committed a mistake, they were
overconfident
and overlooked the ability of the enemy and this is what made
them lose the match.

Anyone can take a lesson from here,
to never OVERESTIMATE oneself
and
UNDERESTIMATE others.

TRAIN and PRACTICE:

There are no shortcuts for physical and mental fitness.
Bhuvan and his team strongly believed it and never
compromised on it.

There is only one mantra:
To be well trained and have good enough practice….
which is
HARD WORK!

CELEBRATE SMALL WINS:

Small celebrations help in motivating and encouraging the team.
It also helps to lift the spirits of the team members.
This well projected by Bhuvan’s team.

Ever wondered how many of us actually
celebrate small wins in our workplace?

NEVER GIVE UP:

Even the last ball of the match was played with hope.
5 runs to win out of 1 ball, but Bhuvan played it great
expectations as though it could win the match for the team
and that is exactly what happened.
He never gave up on his ability and this is what made
him win the match.

In sport, in life or in business always be alert and keep
giving your best to situations, because you never know
when opportunity strikes.

Faith In God:

The mantra helped Bhuvan...
and trust me… it always helps.

When everything else seems lost, God shows the
way…
ofcourse, as long as you are on the right side.

Make the best of Limited Resources:

Bhuvan made the best out of his limited resources.
The tools for the game were all made by the village folk
and were made out of the best that they could lay their hands on.

As entrepreneurs we too must be innovative.
The focus should be on getting the work done
and not on the availability of resources.

Take the unexpected in your stride:

One after the other all the good batsmen in Bhuvan’s team
fell, but he did not lose heart, he played on his best shot and
gave the team its victory.

Similarly one should not look at defeats on the path as setbacks.
One has to learn to take the unexpected in one’s stride and move on.

Its about Team Spirit:

No matter how well Bhuvan played in the match,
nothing would have been possible
if all the team members did not put in their efforts

Bhuvan showed how an average team filled with team spirit
can overcome a group of talented, experienced
but under-motivated individuals.

Its about
People:

The film ‘Lagaan’ is all about how ordinary people
can do extraordinary deeds.

Its about bringing out something from within us.
Something which has been hidden and long forgotten.

Something whose existence we didn’t know.

As we go about our lives, we should remember
that each one of us matters,
that each one of us has it within us to make a difference.

In conclusion

“We are responsible for what we are, and
whatever we wish ourselves to be, we have
the power to make ourselves. If what we
are now has been the result of our past
actions, it certainly follows that whatever we
wish to be in future can be produced by our
present actions; so we have to know how to
act.”
