Market Press Release – September 8, 2010 7:45 am – Workshop on Soft Skills; Lecture Series at SMS Concluded
The first of the Guest Lecture Series at School of Management Sciences (SMS), Varanasi concluded on a ‘soft skill’ note with the speaker, Prof. Pramod Pathak (Former Head, Department of Management Studies, Indian School of Mines, Dhanbad) commenting that the ‘zone of acceptance’ of human beings is fast shrinking in today’s modern world which is creating social and hence, organizational disorders incongruent to the corporate needs. He was speaking on the occasion of a workshop organized on “Managing HR through Soft skills” for the final year PGDM students.
He highlighted the three eras of Human Resource Management depicting handling people, managing people and understanding people, of which, the third or the present era happens to be the most and ever challenging one. He reiterated students to learn how to take people whom to work with, into confidence. In fact, we have to revisit our core, he added while talking about the ‘morality quotient’ (also popular as the spiritual quotient). He said, emotional quotient works when morality quotient works and intelligence quotient works when both work. Today, organizations have to move from system centric approach to people-centric approach.
He stressed on the importance of ‘soft skills’ because of psychological compulsions, political realities and managerial requirements. The basic issues which needed a brawny address today include motivation, changing work-place, effort-potential gap and shrinking zone of acceptance (which makes acceptability of various things narrow). Later Prof. Pathak talked about the A, B, C, D, E of Competitive Edge through soft skills (A-Attitude, B-Behaviour, C-Commitment, D-Dedication, E-Efforts).
In the earlier discourses by eminent speakers over the past week, Shri BB Hooja (Former Executive Engineer, Delhi Vidyut Board), Shri Salil Chopra (Ex CEO, Jaquar), Dr. B. R. Singh (Ex Director, Ispat Group) and Shri Hemant Kumar (Director-HR, PT Indo Rama) interacted with PGDM and MCA students on various facets related to life at Corporate sector. The speakers emphasized on spiritual growth and conversion of stress into creative positive energy. The right attitude needs to be created to achieve winning proposition, they said.
The Director of SMS, Prof. P. N. Jha felicitated the visiting Dignitaries by presenting memento of Lord Vishwanath. On the occasion, the Registrar Shri Sanjay Gupta and faculty members were also present. The next series of Guest Lectures would commence next month, according to Institute sources.
