Happiness is….feeling liberated…

Till very recently, I was a firm believer in not filling the feedback surveys…any kind of survey. Be it employee satisfaction survey or car servicing feedback survey. I used to think, it’s a complete waste of time and organizations do it just for the heck of it, or to be on the right side of the law, as in keeping in mind the compliance perspective. So what is the status now, am I reformed? If yes, why and how did this change came about exactly? Yes yes, I know, you are dying to know…or maybe you hardly care…but any which way, my story needs to be told…read if you are interested…

A few months back, I wrote something in the qualitative segment of the employee satisfaction survey in my org. Cannot divulge what this “Something” is, because of obvious reasons. It was something that I felt very strongly about, and it was a key factor behind my aspiration to join companies like Google and Apple. I am almost 6 years old in my current company and I always felt, if I ever leave, then it would be because of this “Something”.

Imagine my surprise and delight, when I got to know, that my organization has taken a decision to bring in this “Something” with immediate effect. Today is the first day, when I am experiencing this “Something” and yes, I feel on top of the world.

Leadership in any organization defines the culture. Like a mother, does for her family. All of us, are inherently resistant to any kind of change. But if we open our minds and embrace change whole heartedly, then we would realize what we were missing earlier…

That’s it for now…let me cherish and enjoy the moment…

Happiness is….feeling liberated…
