Jumping Juhi has a team of ten employees based all over India, and rather than encouraging team bonding, she always wants them to compete among themselves. A healthy competition is always good, but this is turning out to be a sad affair with the department productivity going down.
When Jagan - assistant to Juhi discussed this with her, he got the reply that competition is good. Jagan understands that competition is good but not of the level where department synergy and productivity is lost.
To improve the productivity, Jumping Juhi has implemented following measures
- Daily concall at 9.00 am in the morning
- Daily concall at 6.00 pm in the evening
- Daily reporting at 2.00 pm in the evening
If team only keeps on reporting, when would they work? HR work is not like BPO, its not just numbers and data. There is lot of qualitative measures involved in HR, which is not being taken into consideration by my jumping Juhi.
Also in every call the language being used by Jumping Juhi is threatening and now a days abusive as well. How can a leader speaks of firing her complete team in each and every call. When she says that she would prefer hiring from outside than working with donkeys, team not only gets demotivated but also negative attitude creeps in.
When you get threatened on every con call daily, then the whole intent of threatening is lost. I doubt if this team can make successful HR department together..
Jumping Juhi is an imaginary character. All her similarities to people around us is coincidental. Jumping Juhi is a light hearted series to portray work related scenarios in a fiction mode. The intention is not to malign anyone's image or to make fun of anybody.

Burn The Boat
A country "A" was in the war with another country, "B". Country "A" was a small nation, but it attacked country "B". Country "B" was fighting on its own ground, they had more resources, latest technology, more number of trained fighters, and all which was required to win the war. Country "A" was a small nation, but still they want to overrule country "B". It was less equiped, low on resource, but the only thing which country "A" had was tough people.
The leaders of country "A" thought about various strategies which can give them advantage in this fight of unequals. Finally they come up with an idea, and this gave their army a boost which helped them won the battle.
The strategy followed by the leaders of country "A" was simple. Whenever their soldiers land in country "B", they destroy their boats. So there was no way back. The only way was to move forward and win the battle. This gave their warriors emotional toughness. The warriors of country "A" were aware that there is no way out of the situation. The only way possible is to attack and win. This thought gave them strength and made them win the battle.
In life also, there are lot of times, when we prefer retracking. Going back is easiest, but the winners are who move ahead, take the challenge and fight. Sometimes, its better not to have any other option. If we know that we have this particular option only, we would be able to concentrate more on that, would give our 100% to that situation and eventually be a winner.
This nice story was shared by my mentor and I am following this to be successful in life, and believe me it helps sometimes, if you dont check on any other options and just work on the task in hand.

More of jumping juhi
Hey All,
Its long since i have written here anything. Life is too hectic workwise. I would write about that later, but lets see whats jumping juhi doing now a days. To tell you all, she is still the same ignorant HR person, who tries to be know all but then where would she hide her ignorance. So here are few of the things which she has done in last few months.
1. Called for a meeting with all business heads, and then chickened out at the last moment not even informing them that she is sending Jagan (Her subordinate) as her replacement.
2. Not able to decide and freeze various basic HR processes such as, recruitment process, onboarding and exit process.
3. Putting her own foot in her mouth at all important meetings, where business has started talking openly about her approach of all words and no deed .
But dont worry, despite all the above things, jumping juhi is still flourishing in her job and would keep on entertaining all of you with her activities.
Jumping Juhi is an imaginary character. All her similarities to people around us is coincidental. Jumping Juhi is a light hearted series to portray work related scenarios in a fiction mode. The intention is not to malign anyone's image or to make fun of anybody.
