Team, it is one of the most important factors influencing the organization, now everyone knows that the better a team function the better will be the outcome, this holds true the other way round as well.
But what is the most intresting part of being in a team is the varied personalities that we get to interact with, some are a instant hit, some get better with time, just like a old wine, and then there are few who are endowed with special qualities, similar to that of a drop of a lemon juice, in a bottle of milk.
This special and highly potent class of team members are so good in the "Lemon Drop" quality, that it leaves the other commoners no choice but to marvel at this breed and the effectiveness with which they execute their agenda.
Every single one of these "Lemon Drop People" has a highly differentiated style of inflicting pain on the fellow members. Its been more than a year and everyday we walk in for work, We are faced with the question of how to tackle such a potent weapon, capable of corrupting the most positive of moods and the most serene of thoughts that the day carried along for you.
My intention of writting this note, is because even we are blessed with such an enormous source of irritation and everyday in presence of this personality is like a year long war, which has no outcome not even a distant possibility, but a continous struggle to survive.
Our in-house representative of the Lemon Drop People, is the flesh and blood incarnation of the computer that is used to ask question in "Kaun Banega Crorepati", the reason for using this Smili is because almost every interaction with this person is followed by a "Carpet Bombing tactic" which means questions such "What is this?" or "what are you doing?" repeated at a fixed interval, without allowing us to breathe in between. The timing of these questions, is so immaculate, that it would put the "Six Sigma methodology" to shame.
To topple this, the person is also blessed with a nose which is so powerful that it can sniff that there is in some corner, a group of people are chatting on the petty issues of their personal lives, the next thing you know is this person would be standing right behind you trying to catch every word being uttered from our mouth, and then shamelessly butting in with an opinion of its own.
The irritation is aggrevated further because we have still not managed to find a logical reason about how this person manages to ambush us, how is that the movement of this person is so subtle and quick that we are alomost everytime caught off-gaurd. The next thing we know is that we are made to puke every word that we may spoken among us.
But the juggernaut does not stop here, followed by this rapid fire round of questions, comes a very emotional quote which goes like this "You never tell me anything". My argument on this is Why should i tell this person the very details of my personal life ?, why should i share my every thought ?.
Like everyone, we have right to express and right to choose, express what we feel can be shared and choose the people with whom we would like to share. And it gets on our nerves when this descision of who to choose and what to express has been made not by you, but for you.
