There's nothing called Talent. It's all about Thinking through Training.

A while ago, I came back from a meeting that I had with a few senior level executives at a renowned private bank. The meeting went off well, however, it kind of appalled me, as despite knowing it for a fact where lies in their problem - which even they themselves were admitting - the bank's guys were (and still are) not eager to escalate the issue to the highest authority or management.

Instead, they are pretty comfortable in playing within their cut out roles of Manager or Assistant Manager and fulfill their stipulated Q-on-Q targets.

What a joke!

One hand, a Brand talks about Equity, Values, Quality, etc. and on the other hand, its people are just reluctant to get their nose off the balance sheet.

In fact, I shared the following simple riddle (which I already had with you guys on Facebook) with them just to get an idea about their level of commonsense -

2 = 5

3 = 10

4 = 17

5 = ?

and I couldn't believe none of them was able to give me the right answer which is so easy and very much present and visible in the question itself.

All jumped into the calculation, following a process or two, as their minds are preset to do that only, and eventually produced nothing, even after struggling for 10 -15 minutes.

The problem is, almost everyone thinks 'a problem is a problem' which needs a solution, whereas the reality is, 'a problem is not just a problem but also the hidden source of solution(s)'.

So before thinking of an apt solution, ideally, it's much needed to identify the roots of a problem. (With a few exceptions of course. For example, if your house is on fire, you are expected to call up the fire-fighter first i.e. to seek solution immediately than discovering the cause of that fire i.e. reaching the crux).

Nevertheless, once the fire is extinguished, the need of the hour got to be to look into and understand what was behind that fire and what might be in future.

In short: "It's NOT so important to think how to train your mind but it's very, very essential to realise that you got to train your mind on how to think and why so."

If that realisation occurs to you then rest of the things could be a cakewalk. And for that, you can contact us at QESEQ International for Quality Enhancement Solutions with Evolutionary Quotient that promise: talent nourished, growth delivered.

In case you are wondering how come thinking is talent, please note, unless you think, you can't act and unless you act, you can't nourish and flourish your talent. And hidden talent doesn't work.

Bottom-line, thinking = talent. Hence, Train your thoughts and actions... to nourish and flourish your talent... to grow yourself and help others do the same for an overall growth.
