Is talent important or being the favorite of the management important??? In most cases, Talent coupled with being favorite of the management becomes the most beneficial. However playing favorite to the management is not everyone’s baby. Not all people can keep everyone happy.
There are instances where a very efficient and effective professional who is the master of the trade in his area of operation fails to get recognition because he is not a favorite. Recognition in more than often comes by after the particular individual falls prey to the office politics and nepotism. How does one survive against this so called Office politics.
We have often heard the quote “Hard Work Pays”. However in more than one instance, we get to see that hard work is always repaid by more work and less recognition. In such situations, how can anyone put in his best when he or she knows that the benefits of hard work will be recognized after the individual phases out from the system.
Thanks to equal opportunity employers like TATAs and ITC, that rift between talent and favoritism is breached to a great extent and hard work is immediately recognised at the moment it should be and also appreciated. However it ought to be the case in all organisations. Just because an individual does not showcase himself as the management favorite or use flattery, the individual should not be sidelined or treated as a punching bag or victim of office politics. Corporates should understad the latent talents of individuals and hone the skills for the organisation to become a trend setter for all organisations.
