People – Exploring the Potential

Hi!

Welcome to my brand new blog that tries to share and generate content and literature on harnessing, managing and developing human potential for the corporate world. Talent is manageable and sustainable when due importance is given to the fact the people are the largest resource available with any organisation.

Assets, Capital investments and business investments are susceptible to market forces. What we need to understand is that people investments are just as susceptible to market fluctuations. To delve further into the vast potential available to learn and deploy people management practices, I intend to get this blog running.

My interest in the area developed in a subconscious manner when I started working in the customer service management field of marketing for Mahindra & Mahindra- Automotive Sector. My experience at handling people related issues made me focus on role holder competencies that could aid my business requirements. I observed that a little focus on developing the people donning the roles helped me sustain and perform my business activities with a considerable amount of ease and effectiveness.

Further, my first year of study at XLRI School of Business and Human Resources brought me to interact with a battery of information related to people management. What started off as people management was slowly changing to ‘talent management’ as talent referred more closely to the value-added part of having people working for you. And talent I reckoned could be transferred, developed, assessed, retained and recruited as the need may be. But to have a holistic view of the subject and keeping the discussion as pragmatic as possible, I intended to have the blog named ‘people potential’. Hope this initiative helps make information on talent and people potential fairly interesting and helpful.
