Realize the real “SALT” in your Team !!!!

All managers are very good in demonstrating high commitment level towards the organization, department goals, career and family. If a new manager joins and took charge of your team, the HR or Management some point of time will ask the senior member of the team about how the new manager perform or how is it going well within the department. A scenario in which his / her dependability been tested within the team or outside by some important Mr/Ms “XYZ” given a projected wrong message to the management. What you suggest??? Is that good enough to make a run or move away using all your defensive skills? Of course you will think about on proving your innocence and convince the management or higher authority with supporting facts. But again the question remains: ‘Who Is Salt?” Whom I can trust? & How??


The ability to influence others is an indispensable quality for professional success. The Story Factor provides an original tool for becoming more influential through storytelling. Let’s be realistic – even at the best companies, employees work mostly to please their superiors. A few individuals have sufficient legitimacy to change the direction of the organization. These “chosen few” must be careful not to fall into the traps that await those with great power, while the others must understand their political vulnerability and hone their influence skills.

Influencing management or Manipulating feedback is often considered to be detrimental and morally reprehensible. Human Resource Department can’t even tolerate this at any point of time. It should be a "Kill" action to be taken by HR in such occations and if not , it will spoil the entire systems. The object is indeed to make others do things that they would have ordinarily refused to do if asked directly. Even so, this manner of influence is commonly used in the business world – either wittingly or unwittingly, to noble or spurious ends. A better understanding of the underlying mechanisms will help you utilize this phenomenon knowingly, or avoid being manipulated.

The control mechanism in specific to find out the dignity of SALT in your circle….


1) More interaction and get into details.
2) SWOT for your team members.
3) Check how passionate they are and watchful how it is in reaction mode.
4) Establish key people connections outside the department.
5) Read People and be prepared.
