Organization Learning Poem by Nikunj Sharma

I thought I was learning management through books,
Till I had a broth spoiled by many cooks.

Everything was right;
My team was bright.
Probably the best;
When put to test.

They knew all jargons;
That makes u say;
He is cool guy, hey! ! ! !

The programs were conducted
With fanfare;
After them, we punched the air.
Exchanged emails and regards;
In hope to lead and not be laggards.

Little did we know?
What we ignored.
The ground realities changed;
While we snored.
We knew the books, but not common sense
The organization suffered at our expense.

We focused on only;
What we were good at.
So when pitch was turning;
We couldn't bat.

We hid our weakness
When we should have exposed
We didn't open our minds;
Rather kept them closed

Learning is not a state of being;
Its a state of mind.
You got to move forward;
Yet improve what u left behind.
The learner, the teacher is all the same;
Getting smarter in the game.

Can I? To I can!
From Will I? to I will!
From I Am! ! to Am I? ? ? ? ? (The fallacy)
Can the best, pass the test
That is question? ?

Do I have the courage?
To take the criticism in my stride.
Or do I take it poorly and go into hide.
As a teacher, do I learn;
The things I didn’t know
Or I basked in sun rather;
Than trying myself to grow.

Train to learn or learn to train
Should I really rake my brain?
DEPENDS
on how you see things....
To me teacher shall move
only learning shall remain.....
