How did my juniors add value to me? I’ve always been a person who gets inspired by the people around me. Having said that, over the past few years, I have had the opportunity to spend plenty of time with people who were younger than me. I’ve noticed that most of us make the mistake of thinking that we know more than our juniors do. Whenever I engaged in conversations where I had contrasting opinions with them, I always tried to understand their point of view to avoid any biases. During my tenure at TravClan, there was always an intern who was part of the team. Interacting with them and learning their approach to certain problems always added to my constructive opinions about particular issues. These are a few things that I’ve learned from them: •Learning should never stop. Once we enter the corporate world, we often make the mistake of sticking to our job roles rather than exploring all the opportunities available to us. We should always have the zeal to learn and grow when we are working in repetitive job roles. •Having a keen interest in what is happening around us. There was an intern who was always aware of what was happening in the team. He was not just excelling in his own work but also aimed to help his team members, creating a healthy environment within the team. When a team member takes an initiative to help others, it automatically spreads to other members, thus improving the work environment. •Looking forward to more opportunities and challenges. I’ve met a lot of juniors who liked getting tasks that were out of their comfort zone. Their motive was never to impress others but to unleash their true potential and capabilities. You can never realize your true potential until you step out of your comfort zone. When I reflect upon the juniors I met during my college and job tenure, I feel grateful for having enough interactions with them, which helped me understand their approach to various topics. Next time you notice a junior stuck in a problem, don’t forget to initiate a conversation with them. It might add some value to you as well. 😉 See you all in the next post.
The truth many of us look past sometimes put in great words.
Very well said and very relatable
