Personal Goals & Organizational Goals: The Match we need

“What sets you apart can sometimes feel like a burden and it’s not. And a lot of the time, it’s what makes you great.” – Emma Stone.

“Every person is unique and so are their expectations.” I was talking to Shekhar, founder of a start-up product company. “We need passionate employees who will work towards our vision. Have you thought about their needs?”

It is hard to pinpoint when the word ‘Employee’ got replaced by the word ‘Resource’. Does anyone know? It may be possible that most companies look at their employees as a resource.

“No doubt compensation is the key factor, and I am fully with you on that. What would you like to offer over and above that?”

“Is it a title? Stock Options? Healthy Work Environment? Opportunity to grow and excel? Well, the list can grow much beyond.

The key here is to identify their personal dreams and goals and see whether there is a match so that they don’t feel like they are just part of a herd but are given personal attention to build a special bond.
