In globally competitive environments, organizations are seeking information about obstacles to productivity and satisfaction in the workplace. Survey feedback is a tool that can provide this type of honest feedback to help leaders guide and direct their teams. Obstacles and gaps between the current status quo and the desired situations may or may not be directly apparent. In either case, it is vital to have a clear understanding of strategies for diagnosis and prevention of important organization problems. If all leaders and members alike are clear about the organizational development and change, strengths, weakness, strategies can be designed and implemented to support positive change. Survey feedback provides a participative approach and enables all members to become actively engaged in managing the work environment.

        India Heads Fast In Exports
        India Story Just Got BetterWithin a week (31 Dec.-7 Jan), the UPA Government has revised the GDP growth estimates for both, the previous fiscal as well as for the current year. The FY04 estimate was raised from an already impressive 8.2% to an even better 8.5%, and the forecast for FY05 was raised from 6-6.5% to 6.9%. The improved performance for the previous fiscal is not surprising, as it was on a low base, and a bumper harvest. But, to have an economy grow at nearly 7% on an extremely high base is just superb.

            RESPONSIBILITY OF THE TEAM LEADER:

            Once the data has been collected and observations have been clarified, it becomes the leader’s responsibility to familiarize the team with the findings. Next the leader involves the team in outlining appropriate solutions and strategies that members can “buy into” and support over the long-haul.
