The Art of Human Resource Management

If you are running a business, company or you are head of organisation then you should know how to effectively utilize the resources available. People working under you are resources or more than that. You can call them valuable asset which you have procured after conducting a selection procedure which you felt is suitable to shortlist people who are fit for your organisation.

But why you are not able to meet the desired results which you always thought would be easier while selecting suitable candidate. Is your decision making is poor? I don’t think so as you have reached such a good height in your life. Then does it mean that people you selected are not efficient enough to deliver you what you are looking for? The answer can be yes if they are not qualified enough and the answer can also be NO if they have requirement qualification. Then what is the problem? May be the problem is you.


No! No!! I am not questioning your capability but I am surely questioning your way of functioning. As a good manager you should be aware about the strengths and weakness of your resources. If you know your employee is excellent in hardware and good in programing then you should utilize him for domain of hardware. You can keep him as backup for the programing part as he is GOOD but not excellent. Your employee will feel satisfied and may be happy working for his strengths rather than weakness. Nobody wants to be in the zone where he feels uncomfortable. I am sure even you don’t want to be in uncomfortable zone.

Therefore, one can separate out the employees into categories. They should not feel discriminated and to achieve this you have to keep this method a secret. If they will come to know about the categories then people in different category may feel superior to other categorised employees and thus it will affect the morale of everyone in the organisation.


Divide people into the category depending upon their capability. Make a diary, note down the strengths and weakness of each individual. You can only know about their weakness and strengths when you interact with them and spend more time with them on floor. Interact with them on one-on-one basis. Observe them on floor, their way of functioning, give them tasking in such a manner that you can judge them. Be a critic, but a positive critic.


Human resource is the most important resource which one can have. Firing a youngster is a biggest mistake which one can do. If you have selected them then they are suitable to chase down the targets which you are aspiring for in order to win. Use your most experienced employee to create new cadre, who can replace him when he will retire. Be observant rather than ignorant. Trust me, this way of functioning will make you a better manager but also improve relations with your employees on personal and professional front.

The Battle of Longewala

After drifting for approximately thousand kilometers from Alwar, I have reached Longewala. This place romanticizes me allot. The battle of Longewala a legend in itself. It is located at 120 kms from city of Jaisalmer. Only way to reach this place is boulevard and if you are tourist then you have to hire a cab. Longewala is prevalent because of the illustrious skirmish tussled between India and Pakistan in 1971. The clash of Longewala is all about how hundred odd men clogged and overwhelmed approximately 2000 Pakistani legionnaires. This battle was all about the audacity, impetus, chauvinism and drive to prizefight exhibited by those eighty Indian warriors. This scuffle is one of my favorite scuffles, and whenever I come to this place, my mind start envisaging how horde of men repudiated the destiny. During the Indo-Pak war of 1971, A-Coy of 23 Punjab had taken up the defences at Longewala. The A-Coy company commander was Major Kuldeep Singh Chandpuri later on emer...
