Take aways from 3 idiots !!!

The most sought after movie with lot of message attached to it...It's a movie which has won the mind and hearts of people across the globe. I believe that many of my colleagues from the corporate world must have taken out their valuable time for this movie and if not then after reading through some of the management lessons they surely will. Let’s begin…
Strive for Excellence: The movie has brought out the message to the public where ever and when ever possible. Success can be momentary but excellence is imbibed and can never be extracted from an individual. Excellence always paves the way for success.
Sovereign ideas: Ideas and imagination need freedom from not only internal but also external factors which keep on acting as a hurdle to the fullest utilization of the brains. A little freedom and independence is required to churn the brains for the best possible outcome and provide out of the box solutions.
Work hard and play harder: This is a common saying but the character of Rancho, played by Aamir Khan has been able to bring it out as a possibility provided you have a drive towards excellence and not success.
Passion towards your work: Excellence can only be achieved by passion but it is really important to understand one’s area of expertise .Most of the times there is a fear in our mind similar to Raju and Farhan but I believe the role of Rancho can be well played by the HR to identify the true potential of the employee which can be used in the right place.
Winners always accept their mistake: The fear of making mistakes always hovers our mind and eventually starts controlling us. The scene in which Prof.Viru Sahastrabudhhe (Boman Irani) holds the baby and announces that his grandson has a choice of aspiring whatever drives him and another scene in which he gives the pen to Rancho as a mark of excellence. These two scenes make Boman Irani a winner.
Right attitude always find respect: If you remember the interview scene of Raju, it will strike you right away that right conduct and attitude are the most important thing in a corporate world because it makes things possible.
Overcome the work pressure: There will be very few people if given a chance will not go back to school or college, but to their surprise they would find the same level of pressure. The “CHALTA HAI..” attitude of Indians has lead to this catastrophe. The people should be so trained that the management need not sharpen their tools to monitor the activities of the employee and hang the Damocles’ Sword around their neck. The right person for the right job always helps.
Team work: The scene of the Mona singh giving birth to a baby is a marvelous exhibition of team effort under troubled situation. The people present accept Rancho as a Leader and work as per his instruction for the fulfillment of a common objective.
Emotion Quotient: The corporate world talks about the EQ of an employee to understand their self perceived ability to identify, assess and manage the emotions of one self and others. Raju was low on emotion quotient and hence was overpowered by the hardship of his family due to which he lost his focus inspite of being a bright student.
Business understanding: All of us don’t have a choice of doing things we want to, but I believe that it is important that we understand the nature of job we are getting into otherwise the story would be very similar to that of Chatur Ramalinga’s Chamitakar speech.
