Use the

“D-System”To get organized and reduce clutter

There is a simple system, known as the D-System, which can helpyou to be better organized and may also help to reduce clutter. Thegoal with this system is to use one of the 6 D’s with every letter,memo, report, email, newspaper and magazine that enters yourhome or office. Select the D that is most applicable for each itembefore moving to the next item.

Do:

If something only takes a few minutes to do, do it now. Ifyou need to review and sign a memo, do it and return the item tothe originator or send it to the next person on the routing list. If youneed to reply to a voice mail message or an email, do it now. Bydoing it while it’s fresh on your mind, it’ll be taken care of, plusyou’ll save time by not having to shuffle papers or listen to the voicemail message again.

Delegate:

If an item requires action, decide if it is best for you to takethe action or if the task can be delegated. Entrust the task to theperson most suitable for the responsibility. Make a call, use aninteroffice routing envelope, send an email, or whatever method isappropriate to inform the person to whom the task has beendelegated.

Decide:

If you are not able to read it or complete the task rightaway, decide which action file that item belongs in. Suggestedfiles/bins include, “to be read,” “to be copied,” “to be faxed,” and

so forth. It is essential to do whatever needs to be done with theseitems within a few days.

Delete:

If you keep getting items you don’t really want, dosomething to keep them from coming to you again. If you get itemsyou know you don’t want and you’re not able to remove yourselffrom the mailing list or subscriber list, then just toss it out as soon asyou know what it is. Recycle as much as possible.

Dump:

Throw it out, there is no need to save everything. We oftenput papers and memos aside and then forget about them. We mightoccasionally look through the stack and we usually end up puttingthe stack off to the side again. We still have the stack of papers andwe just waste time each time we reshuffle the stack. If one of theother D’s doesn’t apply to an item, dump it.

Document file:

If there is no further action to be taken and the item can’tbe thrown out, then the item should be placed in a document file.Documents that need to be kept include, but are not limited to;proof of ownership, signed contracts/agreements, financial and taxrecords, employee files, legal documents, and insurance policies.Some documents may be thrown out after five or seven years, whileothers may need to be kept indefinitely. Documents to be saved canbe placed in a “to be filed” file or basket, which is emptied once perweek when each document is filed in its proper location. A startlingstatistic is that 80 percent of the papers we file are never referencedagain. So, once you pick up an item, you should select the best “D”and take the necessary action before you pick up another item.

I hope this will help all of us to save time and get more organizedat office as well as at home.

With warm regards,

“Dump” “Document files”

Icebreaker session atJim CorbettUttaranchal is a state of natural beauty with some untouched and unspoilt natural places such as Nainital, valley of flowers, Dehradun,Himalaya, Kausani etc belonging to it. It is also famous for its lakes, mountains, forests, national parks, sanctuaries and is also a favoritedestination of wildlife lovers – the Jim Corbett National Park.

This park is situated in the Nainital, Pauri Garwhal and Bijnore Districts of Uttaranchal measuring a reserve area of 1318.54 sq. km.including 520 sq. km. of core area and 797.72 sq. km. of buffer area. The core area forms the Jim Corbett National Park while the buffercontains reserve forests as well as the Sonanadi Wildlife Sanctuary. After India attained independence in 1947 the park was renamed asRamganga National Park. In 1956, it was renamed as Jim Corbett National Park, in memory of Jim Corbett. Project Tiger, India's ambitiousconservation program to save the tiger and its habitat was launched from Corbett in 1973.

A trip to the Jim Corbett Park is an ideal way to spend holidays amidst thick forests and wildlife. The thrill and excitement of spotting therare species of the wild animals is an added bonus besides the fresh air and break from the fast paced city life.

Era Group’s HR department organized a group trip for 25 Head Office employees (S-09 & Below) for one night & two days to Jim Corbetton the 28th February. The travel was arranged in air conditioned deluxe bus from Sec-62 office which left Noida at 8:00 AM for Corbett.They had breakfast on the way at Gajraula & reached at the resort (The Den) at 3:00PM; which is about 29 km from Ramnagar. The resortis the oldest resort in Corbett in a dense forest area and a standalone one with no other resort or even other houses etc close by. It is situatedon the banks of River Kosi, though at an altitude and one can easily go down to the river.

The first evening was spent in a light mood with everyone being in full spirits to enjoy to the fullest wherein light refreshments were followed

by a bon fire and DJ Night. After dinner the group indulged in discussions on several issues including Ghost stories being shared till latenight as the place was such.

Next day group wake up at 6:00 am and went ahead for some team building activities like trekking, cycling & river crossing in differentinter-departmental & inter-company groups. This trip encouraged employees and created a bond with the aim of working more effectivelytogether. It also helped to improve relationships and communications between all the employees.

As it was Holi, the group assembled at the Resort’s swimming pool to enjoy the festival of colours followed by a game of volley ball in theswimming pool. Post lunch people left the place with a heavy heart and reached at sec-62 office at 8:30pm.

The exercise was one of sheer fun and bon homie. It would have been better if the participation would have been more from all groupcompanies resulting in amplified feeling of oneness.

Delegating work - a vital asset in professional management

Are you one of those managers whowants to do everything on your own?

It’s time for you to change the habit. Theearlier you change; the better will be theresults.

My life long experience suggests thatsuch managers will no longer be relevant

in a growing organization involved in project development andimplementation.

Delegating work to team members / subordinates is the key toeffective team and project management

Delegation is the process of assigning a task or project tosomebody else and sharing the responsibility for its targetedoutcome. I believe that delegation at work is certainly importantas it offers multitude benefits as many as listed below

• Other than time management, effective delegation of workmay take the pressure off and reduce work stress by sharingresponsibilities

• The process will substantially improve work life.

• It enables employees to take higher responsibilities

• It breeds innovations and infuses development of risk takingin reporters.

• It helps to accomplish more with assistance from others

• It will result in higher self-esteem and develop confidencein direct reporters.

Therefore, the ability to delegate work would be a vital asset thatall good leaders and managers should adopt. To be effectivemanagers and leaders one must realize that if you are able torope in more brains and bodies to do the tasks, you will be ableto get more things.

According to me, key advantages of delegating work are that, ithones decision making ability and in turn, helps employees fastdevelopment.

Further, effective delegation involves two key things:

• The manager must be willing to share responsibility

• The team member/subordinate must be capable enough toshoulder the responsibility.

Effective delegation is a two-way process to understand.

• It is done by breaking down major goals into sub goals.

• It can also be done by reducing controls, enabling taskorientation, goals accomplishment and accountability forteam members.

Many a times, managers delegate work not just to relieve theirown workload, but also to allow the employees they supervise togrow professionally. I have strong opinion that effectivedelegation must involve proper evaluation of the delegationprocess on an ongoing basis and must provide theemployee/subordinate with proper feedback to help him/herimprove the process. Even though many people acknowledgethe importance of effective delegation, most managers are seenhabitual as they find it difficult to delegate tasks effectively. Isuggest a few tips for effective delegation:

• Don’t dump - only delegate tasks that help both, you and theperson you delegate to.

• Write out a job description - give a copy of the jobdescription and parameters to the person to whom you aredelegating the task.

• Pick the right person.

• Encourage your employee - delegating is not about givinga job to someone and walking away; it requires patienceand encouragement.

• Follow the progress.

Delegation should not be considered as a convenient way to getrid of jobs that you as a manager do not like to handle yourself.Instead, it should be considered as a way for you to handle morethings effectively and support your reporters to become moreeffective at work.

Out of all the four seasons in a year (i.e. Winter, Autumn, Spring and

Summer), this one is my favorite…. Yes you guessed it right!!… The

spring season...The season when everything is at its best and the whole

environment around is so wonderfully fresh….. From the dew drops

which fall daily on our very own flora to the chirping of birds….from

the beautiful sunshine which graces our mornings to the wonderful

breeze blowing every dawn and dusk …Nature in every form gets so

lively and beautiful that its so hard to keep glued to our workstations

all the time … yes… people ….its time to feel fresh and live life!!

So…friends… To feel connected to this wonderful season, go for

evening walks in a nearby park and have a blast with the weather as

your companion …. What else one would need when everything

around is so much blessed!!!.... You know what??? It is also a season of

various Indian festivals like Basant Panchami, Shiv Ratri, Holi when

even God is in the mood to celebrate nature …All these festivals offer

so much of fun and frolic that everybody forgets all sorts of daily stress

and gets engrossed in celebrating and living this wonderful season

…The season starts from Basant Panchami when people wear yellow

colored clothes to mark the onset of this season …then comes Shiv

Ratri when people of Hindu religion observe fast to worship lord

Shiva… with Holi, the festival of colors following closely, everything

around gets so bright and happy that its worth enjoying this season

….though the spring season marks its end with Baisakhi, the festival

of harvest …it leaves the impression on our minds in the form of

nostalgic memories spent with family, friends and loved ones …. To

sum it all, in this sublimity of nature, when nature gives us so much,

we need to treat and greet ourselves!!! ….. be at your health best … Jog

in the morning with the sun waking you up … eat fresh fruits which

the nature bestows upon you in this beautiful season …. Work harder

and exercise harder… look the best… leave the rest!!
