Yesterday, I had induction program for the whole day. One might wonder, as I did, what is there to know about a company for the whole day? Not only I realized there is indeed so much to know, but also that it could be presented in a very informal and interactive way, thus not boring the participants. Mind you, I am not very enthusiastic about meetings and such presentations. I consider them waste of time; however, I am glad, I was wrong in this instance.

I also came to know from the president (HR operations) that I had already created a ‘wave’ in the upper management! Oops, is it my star or what? He apologized for the mishap in getting me allocated to the project and said they are working on a plan and will be ready soon. Even before doing anything (good or bad), I’m known in the management – which in itself could turn out to be good or bad.

Again in my career life, I’m associated with an embryonic organization. In every matter-of-concern, it is a smaller firm than my earlier one (except the month-end cheque!). However, being with a growing organization has its own positive side and I am looking forward for those challenges.
