Competency

I was thinking how one person can measure himself/herself. I am doing something; but I may not be doing something else. So how to measure? Leaving aside all the personal affair, I want to restrict my discussion only to professional field(Particularly For technical software professional, even reducing the audiences).But you all can of course look at it.

The pillers that I am going to mention used to be the SPOT award giving criterion for ASM COE in MIcrosoft. Forget its root cause, but the  they have come to those pillers, really great. In Microsoft, I always respect one thing-- PROCESS. everything and everyone here follow process. Though you can say sometimes it does not give the intended result, but for a huge company like MIcrosft, you cannnot survive without the word PROCESS.

Here I go...following attributes can act as a measure to judge who you are, where you are: 


·        Strategic
·        Passionate
·        Innovative
·        Dependable
·        Collaborative
·        Trusted Advisor
·        Technical Excellence
·        Leadership
·        Result Focus
I am not going into the detials of each if those(I have it with mine if you required).
Point I want to make here whenever YOu feel like judging yourself, try compare yourself in resect of those parameters.
Hmm..  All the best

The dawn

Hi, being in LIVE, I should have started writing blog here earlier. But the laziness and unapproaching attitude that I got from family hierarchy(Though I am trying hard to get rid of it) prevents me from pen down anything here till today. Of course, I have one valid reason too. Prevoiusly, I used to write blog on www.blogsource.com. But suddenly a few days back when I visited them, it was shut down. Thus all my blogs which I started long back at NIT-DGP(On the evening of the very day when the ECE guy of our batch committed suicide), and modified last during LEAP... all gone.


Now, being in Microsoft, I should use live Space; and if I am not doing my sixth sense will always convict me of guilt.Is it not a bit crazinees of my feelings. Anyways, to get out of the GREAT hierarchy virtue, I mentioned above, one spark had been required. Got that one in form of Alvaro. So, here I go.


All the best dude!!!!!
