Now a days I’ m in the Process of recruiting fresh Engineering Graduates for my Product Development, Business Development ( Domestic and International ).These Graduates are expected to take up Lead Positions in the future for Organizational Business requirements ( We take them as Management Trainees )
I’m just thinking what I really see in fresh graduates, Following points in to my mind,
Clarity of Thought
Clarity of thought in why they done Engineering
Clarity of thought what they want to do in future, why they want to do that
Clarity of thought in what job they want
What is their past achievements and failures
Learning Orientation
o What is their learning Orientation ( I try to analyze through Learning Styles Model of – VAK - this is a simple model )
Their learning drive in the subject they studies
What is the motive for the Learning
In a given situation what is the speed of their learning
Achievement Orientation
What is their Highest Goals on life and why
Why they set their Goals
Whom they benchmark and why
What is their achievement in the areas they attempted in their life ( It can be Education, Sports, Cultural and Social activities, Leadership (even some times Street Leadership )
Self Awareness and Self Esteem
What they know and feel about themselves
What areas they like about themselves and what they don’t like about themselves
What activity make them excited and happy & what activity make them tense and dull
How they receive and react compliments and comments
How they handle emotional hurts
About their Relationship with their parents and closed circuit relationships
Team Member Orientation
How comfortable and their experience in working in Teams
How they handle Communication with their Team Members
What is their experience handling Conflicts when they worked in Team
How they react and handle with Team Leaders in different situations
How I assess above points are I will ask different situational questions, I encourage them to narrate their life incidents and express their feelings. This is some form of BEI – Behavioral Event Interview

Introduction note on T Group Training
History
In 1947, the National Training Laboratories Institute began in Bethel, ME. They pioneered the use of T-groups (Laboratory Training) in which the learners use here and now experience in the group, feedback among participants and theory on human behavior to explore group process and gain insights into themselves and others. The goal is to offer people options for their behavior in groups. The T-group was a great training innovation which provided the base for what we now know about team building. This was a new method that would help leaders and managers create a more humanistic, people serving system and allow leaders and managers to see how their behavior actually affected others. There was a strong value of concern for people and a desire to create systems that took people's needs and feelings seriously.
Objectives of T-Group Learning
The T-Group is intended to provide you the opportunity to:Increase your understanding of group development and dynamics. Gaining a better understanding of the underlying social processes at work within a group (looking under the tip of the iceberg) Increase your skill in facilitating group effectiveness. Increase interpersonal skills Experiment with changes in your behavior Increase your awareness of your own feelings in the moment; and offer you the opportunity to accept responsibility for your feelings. Increase your understanding of the impact of your behavior on others. Increase your sensitivity to others' feelings. Increase your ability to give and receive feedback. Increase your ability to learn from your own and a group's experience. Increase your ability to manage and utilize conflict. In India Indian Society for Applied Behavioural Sceience -ISABS- www.isabs.org is one of the instition conduct this kind of Labs

Today morning when I'm going through Economic Times one ad attracted my eyes. The ad about an Mutual fund. There are two pictures in he ad, one is a Teacher writing some lessons in the board and teaching and other one is Boy with laptop with year of 1991 and 2010.My thoughts went on Training Delivery through Technology. Some times i wonder how we can deliver Training without a human touch mainly in the area of Personality and Human Behavior. I remember a concept we learned in ISABS " I as a Change Agent". What i feel Personality Development Programs require an Intensive Human Interaction and facilitating factor to help participants to go through the Journey of Self Discovery.
Is it happens through online Programs ( Even though we called so Interactive ) and CBT's and what ever other names you call.
This a small peace of thought for your reflection

Hi,
I'm writing after a long gap. There two things make me to write is my Training session yesterday with my all over India marketing team and today my visit of Karthikayan Blog on expressing our feelings and views through Content.
Like to share my experience about Yesterday, the entire idea came up with my Sales Head for the country to give some boost and excitement to the members in Annual Meet. I just want to do some thing different, this was not mainly for participants but i got bored with PPT's and this time i derided not to use a single PPT in my entire session. I don’t want to do training. I just want facilitate Human experiences at Individual and in Group.
My session started with small treasure hut .task is search for building blocks and make it one toy. I'm really surprised the kind of energy and excitement the two groups shown in the entire assignment. Finally one group made it first but the most loveliest thing is the narration of the participants on their experiences and feelings on entire assignment. very good points came in the discussion like team work, planning, Communication, leadership, motivation in searching and finally their excitement in doing entire activity. We just noted all these points in one chart. but all the points are come from the teams only. We just show a short film on Team Work and Sucess,www.simpletruths.com.
For me this exercise given me feel good and experience of adult learning
