Team Building Made Easy

I'm not a guru. I hardly know everything about life, or, for that matter, anything BIG. Besides, my education is pretty less because I couldn't afford to do any MBA as of now. All I know are little, little things learned from my several real life experiences and the only sense I have is commonsense.

I live simple. I think simpler. And I communicate the simplest. I can only listen to my heart and can just talk my mind. Though it doesn't necessarily mean that whatever I communicate is always right or ultimate; err is human... and I'm no animal either.

In fact, my English is also not up to the mark. Some people always find follies in my lines (and between the lines). I can understand and appreciate their concern for my language, as I know they do care for me.

But again, as you know, the world is full of careless, casual and unconcerned people; they keep reading my stuff - grammatical errors notwithstanding - so I keep writing for them.

And here goes below yet another non-intellectual, typical homemade lecture of mine, which I have delivered to the content generation team at an esteemed IT organisation, recently -

The problem with the company was the content team was reluctant and not motivated enough to function as a team and as a result their gross-productivity was suffering.

The best and the simplest thing I could to do was offer them - the team members - a 5-mins hearing of my plain and vanilla narration of an ant's story, which I experienced firsthand......."Observe an ant. How it reacts to an assignment. For instance: collecting food for home.

"First, an ant approaches to something which it thinks can be its food. To start with, it takes a cautious approach. Once it's convinced, it gets excited about the prospect of finishing the job. The ant's body language changes. It gets excited and happy! It Found (the real) FUN in the task in hand.

"But, as you know, no real fun is complete, or, can be enjoyed fully without friends / colleagues / family-members; the ant tries to Get UNITED with others and builds a gang around the food, immediately.

"There on, the ants make a cluster or a huddle; as if they have instantly Developed a COMMUNITY to share and exchange knowledge among them within the community for reaping rich benefits from the project on the cards... that is how to bring home the food, fast and successfully.

"And in the process, the ants KNOW More and Better how to gain maximum from the food and begin their job of taking the food home rather systematically, ensuring the highest productivity as a team.

"That's all!"

Listening to it, one guy from the content team then asked me, "Sushovan, now can you suggest us a simple law or sutra in a line to sum up this entire motivational stuff, so that we can remember it easily?"

How To Make A Hotel Room Attractive And Functional

Making a hotel room attractive but also functional can be challenging. A guest bedroom in any holiday accommodation needs to be practical but welcoming, serviceable but hospitable. You need to include some functional items such as luggage racks and coat hangers, mini fridges or drinks making equipment. Your guests will also appreciate those little extras that make the room more attractive hotel room products such as complimentary toiletries or bathrobes and will make them want to return. http://www.caterfor.co.uk 

When you're returning to a hotel room after a long day out there's nothing nicer than being able to whip up a hot drink to help you relax. Make your guest bedroom welcoming to visitors with amenity trays and organisers. You may want to include fair trade drinks sachets, homemade biscuits or even small boxes of chocolates. Whether your guest bedroom is in a hotel, B&B or even a lodge or caravan holiday home a small tray of drinks making equipment is always welcome. Some self catering holiday accomodation will include home made cakes or scones for visitors.

Functional items such as luggage racks can add a welcome place for organised visitors to place their travel items. These can be stylish as well as functional as can bins, bed linen for hotels and bathroom towels. You want your guests to feel pampered but also need to offer towels and bed linen that will wear well after laundering and day to day use that's why it's wise to invest in some hospitality equipment.

Why not create a folder of visitor information for your guest bedroom? Visitors will appreciate a little local knowledge or history to read whilst relaxing. Point out family visitor attractions, local vineyards or organic outlets - even a few walks in the neighbourhood would be useful. Don't forget to include local information such as doctors, taxis and transport information.

A hotel room mini bar is a small compact fridge, which can store small bottles of drinks and mixers for guests. These mini fridges can also be used for storing milk for hot drinks or chilled champagne for special occasions.

Many hotels offer basic facilities and a budget prices frame but so many more guests will return to your hotel if you make the room attractive and functional. Bathrobes, lovely fluffy towels and disposable slippers are all small but welcome extras that will make you stand out from the rest. These towels, robes and disposable slippers are also ideal for leisure centres, spas and health and beauty outlets.
