Today for the first time I have to write a self appraisal at work. One thing, I have never done in my life till date. Looking at those 10 sheets blew me off my feet. How could a person go on talking about his day to day work filling up the spaces for him? In such a short span of 7 months how could an organization ask me such a thing? Amidst such dilemma a funny thought crossed my mind, how about a personal self appraisal? As in how good I am to my age, values and ethics? Did it ever cross your mind?
The form talks about “Personal Goals first” wait a second …does anyone has personal goals? I am asked to write 4 of them and critically analyzing each one of them. Yeah okay that’s easy first and foremost would be a Well Paying job at a good Brand. The only constraint is a good Boss (phew…...I am sure most of you would agree with me here. As they say “People leave bosses not the organizations!).
Now the Second Goal would be Spending Quality time with my family and friends! Weekends are great to do that but most often we end up spending time over phones with family and friends. Another constraint to this goal would be long work hours because loads of work. Also if you are not one of those in love all your family and friends talk about is your marriage, you try avoiding them. I am getting there …… man this has really got me thinking. I would not be doing justice here.
The third goal is being able to Pursue a hobby or a study course. It could be anything from dancing to studying a course of my interest. The challenges to this goal would be time, stress and work load. You really don’t have to be brilliant but a first division ensures that your resume looks good! The very thought of putting it in my goal excites me.
Last goal on my agenda would be To trust only myself for the rest of my life. I have been a learner and a believer. I have always shown immense faith and trust in people I love and am friends with. Having said that I feel people easily break your trust and shatter your dreams, and walk past you. The constraint is I can’t control meeting people and liking them, what I can control is, trusting them and their loyalty towards me.
Aint it interesting? Let’s see what’s next! The next column says “Additional Accomplishments and Projects” Okay Yeah I gotcha what to write here- we might not all be doing it on a full time basis. But yeah Firstly, how about being responsible & educated citizens. Being Indians first and then north Indian, South Indians, North East people etc. Things like exercising our fundamental rights and duties, voting diligently, believing in the system created by people we elect, etc. Secondly, adding value to our society by being involved in some or the other social service. I’d like to work for the upliftment of under-privileged kids or the physically challenged.
Ahem now I have to rate myself at all these goals so I’d give myself “Meets Most” which is 5 on 10 as if now.
Wow I dint knew I would have so much to accomplish. I am getting better at this, what say?
Now the next section is still better as it has multiple choices, it talks about Competency (essence and values) which talks about Excellence, Innovation, Integrity, Passion, Respect, Peer orientation & Attention to detail.
As an Individual I want to be excellent at relationships that I am born with and I build. I’d like to come up with creative ideas to make someone feel special. Do all of us have a good digestive system? I bet most of us don’t! So how about keeping people secrets to our selves and keeping their trust. Igniting our passion does not need a movie, a death, a crime or a success. I want to be passionate about every form of life around me. “What you give is what you get?” I feel to earn respect I need to give it too. When it comes to friends, we often tend to miss on their opinions, ideas, etc. This only leads to strenuous relationships; if we only listen to them I mean c’mon they are human beings toooo!!!! This one is quite new attention to detail which implies that I collect all the relevant information before acting. Here I fail completely as I either over understand or I completely ignore. I always end up reacting to a situation not acting on it. Oh my gawd!!!!
When it comes to ratings I would rate myself “Below Many” in most of the things I discussed. That would be 3 on 10.
Life’s not Always fair, all our lives we keep running behind moolah, fame, love…but just look around there is so much to attain so that I CAN BE A BETTER HUMAN BEING!!!
