Matured manager - Think positive and let success follow

We say “Managers need to be matured to handle situations”. But what does it mean? Let’s analyse.

For Maturity to come, 3 factors have to combine together – experience, exposure and your interpretation on those two. You can make good times out of your bad experience and vice versa. It depends on how you see things. During tough time, it is easy to flip towards either positive or negative outlook. Let’s see how we can tune our mind to think only positive.

In Bhagavad Gita, there is a verse which says “Every that has happened, which is happening and which is going to happen is for good”. Believing in this is a good start for a successful career. But don’t stop there. Take it to next level as follows.

Keeping the belief that everything happens for good, If a seemingly bad incident happened or is happening to you, try to make sense of what good it is going to lead to. Many times you will get answer and it will help you to see your bright future and open a new world of confidence and positive outlook before you.

This practice if done often, will exercise your mind to think positive and you will end up looking forward always. The fact is that there is hardly any human being who has made it big without going through tough time and the good thing is that there is always a way out!

Smart people will find the way out and this is the simple secret on how they make it.

For example, if a senior resource in your team is moving out quickly from your team and your delivery is
stuck, don’t get disheartened. The positive outlook for that could be many or all of the below
1. It gives an opportunity to relook at your delivery team & strategy
2. It gives an opportunity for you to scale up one of your junior team member to bigger role
3. It gives an opportunity for you to give break to your senior resource to go out, get diverse experience and come back to your team to assume even better role
4. It gives an opportunity for the team to come out of the same style of management under the person moving out and experience a difference.
5. This list can go on depending on how much positive outlook you can bring in

On the other hand, if you don’t believe that things don’t necessarily happen for good; better revisit your belief!
