American College - How american is it?

American College, famous for the colleges' population of Maldivian Students, is considered as one of the most reputed institutes in Sri lanka. Ooops! Did I said that? Not really is the case. However, many Maldivians are mistakenly believing that American college of sri lanka is actually an American college and is one of the most prestiges colleges in Sri lanka. This is can be the most inappropriate things to say, cos this is hardly the case.

American college is just another institute which deals with Maldivians who want a customizable course and study environment, which many a times becomes so customized that even exam marks and assignment marks aslo doesnt count in giving any credential certificate. Cool! inst it?

More about the college can be said later! The point is not to start a campaign against the college, but to clear the misconception. There are many institutes that can provide a higher educational satisfaction than American college and also takes less amount of money. Money do count, don't they? After all its several days of hard work that the parents undergo in order to educate their children so that they can have a better life. So why waste years of hard work for just a college whose name is similar to the worlds greatest and most civilized country?

Just because many do, it doesn't mean that thats the best thing to do? Try harder and search harder, Sri Lanka is full of "diplomas" but you need to know what a diploma means to a Sri Lankan and how it is recognized in the Maldives.

The Staff Engagement Paradox: Forcing the Illusion of Choice

Staff engagement, a concept praised for its ability to motivate employees and cultivate a positive work environment, can sometimes become a double-edged sword. Initially, the intention behind organizing non-work-related activities, such as futsal competitions, was noble. These endeavours sought to provide employees with opportunities to connect and engage beyond the confines of their workspaces. The vision was to ignite motivation and foster unity. However, somewhere along the way, the true essence of these activities became distorted. The Penalties of Being Human Ironically, in their pursuit of encouraging staff engagement, companies implemented attendance marking systems and penalties for absence or tardiness. What was once voluntary and enjoyable participation has now been replaced by fear-driven coercion. Employees attend these events not out of genuine interest or enjoyment, but out of the dread of being shamed, penalized, or left out. The spirit of choice and voluntary engag...

How the "push it" culture creates real "down fall".

In the world of organizational culture, the prevalence of a "push it" mentality often serves as a glaring indicator of more profound issues. It signifies more than just a commitment to excellence; it frequently represents the single most significant indication of an isolated, blame-oriented, and ultimately toxic culture. In environments where the "push it" mantra prevails, collaboration becomes an afterthought, and leaders, whether consciously or inadvertently, exacerbate this toxicity by embracing this phrase. In this article, I will dive into the perils of the "push it" culture, and I will try to shed some light.
