Team is Steam

                    Team is Steam
   In other words,Right People on the bus.
Any business is all about people whether it is customers or employees or investors.
Most businesses start because they solve certain problem or found an innovation that is so powerful that it disrupts existing way of doing things and some businesses start because there is huge demand for it and so on and so forth.
The ‘Why’ is important –but ‘who’ is also equally important if not more, in my opinion ‘Who’ is more important than ‘why’, basically ‘why’ is extrinsic it depends on lot of vectors which are beyond control and may change with time or situation. But if you have right people on the bus, the right team, then ‘why’ may change or alter or evolve or dissolve but the team makes any ‘why’ you choose possible.
Let’s take an example -Apple built PC because of Steve wozniak, it sold and became apple because of Steve jobs but as time changed “why “changed but same team of brilliant apple engineers and developer, sold music, disrupted music industry by I tunes, made I pod and disrupted biggies like Sony Walkman and Philips, same apple made phone that was smart, made blackberry and nokia non existential,  apple made watch that was smart, same apple made things that had different “why” every time.
“Why “  you are making the product or service, you are making ,may change but “who” does it will determine will you cease to exist after the “why” is  served or you keep evolving with new challenges and new “why’s” to conquer.
Team is like steam in a good old steam engine, it is not about the direction you go if you have right amount of steam, you can choose any direction you love to go and there you go. The steam is not bought, it is created by having right people with right approach and vision and then boiled to a point of ultimate human capacity to excel and there you get the right steam to drive even the largest barge that ever existed or make a super-fast locomotive or a great turbine.
Getting right people on the bus will make your journey to excellence and success much more fascinating and successful than any other single factor can.
Team is the Steam, destination may change, passengers many part, even the locomotive may change but if you have the ‘Steam of team’ you will accelerate come what may.

What is Customer Obsession ?

Customer Obsession is a business philosophy and strategy where the company places the needs, desires, and satisfaction of customers at the absolute core of its decision-making processes. Rather than merely focusing on customer satisfaction or service, customer-obsessed organizations consistently go above and beyond to understand and anticipate their customers' needs, ensuring that every aspect of the business is aligned to deliver exceptional customer experiences. Key Elements of Customer Obsession: Deep Customer Understanding : Customer-obsessed companies prioritize gaining a deep understanding of their customers’ preferences, pain points, and behaviors. This insight often comes from continuous data collection, feedback loops, and engagement with customers to ensure products and services evolve with customer needs.

Amoeba OS

Amoeba  OS( Organizational Structure) Many Startups, small and midsize companies who have founder as its driving force are battling a problem called organizational Structure (OS) and system within the company. One can never be sure that what is more important? OS and system or founders way of doing things. Both have their own limitations. Whenever I am confused about anything about life or business I make it a point to find answer through life itself, the very nature we are the part of has solutions for everything,that is because nature has gone through  billions of years of evolutionary process finding most effective and effortless way of reaching the evolutionary pinnacle. When I first came to know about amoeba I was fascinated by its ingestion technique i.e the way it grabs the food. Whenever any food particle comes anywhere near amoeba that part of its body becomes its mouth & it engulfs it. By the way Amoeba was the first unicellular organism that performe...

Many a times you hear a CEO or Chairmen of a tech company say we are one big large family. They go for retreats,play ,party, click photos hugging and kissing each other. Then once this large happy family comes back to office and are busy in their routine where this family feeling disappears and certain under current of supremacy ,promotion, appreciation seeking, better pay, faster rise in the ranks, lesser real family time,and finally shifting job for better pay, designation and better family.(Pseudo Family) Massive researches are done on making company culture, huge budgets are spent for it, lot of incentives are showered but still there is no equilibrium in the HR.Why so? Because it is  HR- Human resource, and if you and your board look at humans as resource then how can they be family? this is a biggest CON of the Corporate...
