Only Team Players meet their goals
[Music]
thanks for this opportunity
to share some of my experiences with you
all here
so i’ll share some of my experiences
related to my study and
my experience as an executive of the
bank
and my takeaway out of it i belong to a
small remote village of
dalek district named burlap earlier and
now it’s bhairavi
so we completed our high school level
examination
with little resources and of course
little cost as well and while studying
at all time so some students who score
better in a
class expected to join
science in a college level either to be
doctor or engineer so
after my high school level of
education i came to kathmandu and start
studying
science stream but with the suggestions
of my senior and my
elder brother i just slipped to the
management
i completed my intermediate and the
graduation while doing graduation i
listened about
course chartered accountancy so started
accountancy
i knew two things about it one
this course is very tough means it’s
very difficult to pass
and next one it’s very
cheap or very less costly
course so for me
to study it was not top things for me
and it cost less
that encouraged me to join startup
accountancy
with this inspirations i
went to india because at that time there
was no charter accountancy course
involvement in nepal
so i want india i want to institute
and i just look for the principal with
whom i have to
conduct them article ship trading
my principle asks with me how much score
you have in your graduation
so i said i obtained 58 percentage mark
with
lots of proud because at that time 58
percentage were
something very big at that time but he
said only 58 percent is so it’s very
less
so he said it’s very difficult to pass
examination when you obtain there’s only
58 percentage in this
uh verizon so it will be difficult for
you to pass the
starter accountancy so i said sir i’ll
pass
he said how can you say like that i said
sir i never failed
before so he again said manos
nobody is joined chartered accountancy
before the failure history people join
here to get failed
i said no issues let me join first i’ll
see it so i try
so after joining i just start studying
and i see there is a gap
there is a huge gap whatever i
studied during migration i my completed
my graduation level
degree but that level of goal is
required for the chartered accountancy
there was a huge gap i tried
and the first time i appeared to the
examination and i think
i’ll fail for sure and result was there
and i failed
it was obvious second time i again tried
and i was
so hopeful i will pass because i was
prepared ready for
anything but the first
paper was the account
first paper first questions i try to
attempt but it
took one and a half hour but i could not
completely
correctly answer the question then with
the remaining
half time i try to attempt remaining
portion of the paper and i complete only
about 60 percentage of the paper
and in that way i complete my exam and i
was waiting for the result
because other papers were going good
result was there
i passed in all subjects but
unfortunately
my aggregate was sought by five marks so
50
marks was not there so for the first
time i think
something is really impossible i called
back my father i said
father i wanna come back because first
time it’s okay because
i was not well prepared now i know
everything about the course but again i
failed
and this is the first examination there
are three more
so my father said no monos you can’t
come back
because everyone knows that you are
there for the charter accountancy core
either you start some job over there and
just continue your study
you don’t have any choice to come back
to village
so i remain with no choice and i just
continued
then i started studying with the
analytical things and everything
and again appeared in the examination
then i passed the examination again i
passed and
all four units i passed individually
and within a four years i complete my
chart recommendancy and come back
so during my study sometimes
i feel no it’s not possible because
my basic knowledge label and my
background and my
knowledge while i joined charter
accountancy and the required knowledge
label gap was
very very huge but i managed to make up
it
so i came back to nepal so after coming
back to nepal so there was lots of
opportunities because
only less than 200 total accountants
were there in nepal
so there were vacancies here and there i
joined central bank of nepal nepal
rashford
as an officer after joining the official
fresh qualified 20 years 24 years young
boy
with lots of dream in mind newly
qualified charter record
10th so lots of dreams lots of energy
i work for four or five years and
something many people ask with me
why did you resign from nepal rashford
that was a very lucrative job
but something behind my back behind my
mind
i was not happy there why i was not
happy because the promotion system
was something different so either you
need to wait
number of years for the file promotions
or you need to appear in a written
examination with the limited seats
so performance versus the progress
very least correlations were there so i
just switched to the
commercial bank i resigned rasta bank
and joined commercial bank as a cfo
i work and after working seven or
eight years i feel like
i need extra change i need something new
so
everything was fine everything was good
institution was good our progress was
good
but suddenly i feel
i’m not appropriate over here i think i
need to do something
more or i am not appropriate within this
organization
so while i think that i
did not get motivated to go to the
office so i said
i think many people used to do they used
to go to office
they join office they take salary out of
it and this out on this
seniors bosses and the offices there is
no story like that if you are not happy
you need to quit you need to start
something else so i think if you are not
happy i need to quit
so then i joined some another industry
and that industry was totally different
i will not take the name of the industry
that was different because i work i work
as a chartered accountant i work as a
central banker in a commercial bank and
everything was systematic transparent
and like that but
another industry that was not
transparent and some ethical and moral
values
did not allow me to continue and within
nine months time i again say
thank you very much whatever you give me
for this nine months awesome
thank you very much i just left then
again i joined back
banking as a deputy ceo of national
labor development bank
that was an opportunity for me after my
joining
my then ceo and the board and the
colleagues and executives everyone
helped a lot if my friends know me that
progress of that institution was
phenomenal
we take a growth of 78 86 and
70 or more for three years then
after two years of my
experiences as a deputy ceo my board
updated me
to the level of ceo atop of the
institution
then i honestly share with you that was
the
toughest job for me being head of
department
being executives below the senior level
was very easy
because my boss my ceo just want
performance
but while you are at the top you are at
the top means
you need to manage so many things before
i discard the responsibility of the ceo
i never knew that
i always focus on the task performance
that’s all
till the time hard skill was everything
for me
job knowledge was everything for me but
then i learned
no job knowledge is the little one very
small segment of the required knowledge
i need soft
skills has more role to play when i lead
the management top level
but i knew later on so i joined
and i used to evaluate everything on the
basis of what is wrong and what is right
because i used to think everything
should be ethical
everything should be correct and that
was the feeling behind my mind
because from that school level to
college level to charter accountancy to
central bank to commercial bank every
time i perform the task with the
integrity
with the performance targets and
everything
and i think that is enough that was the
only thing we have to do
but that was not true at that time so
many times
i just so many opinion of the board or
the colleagues or the executives on the
basis of wrong and right
and i want to share with you there is
nothing like wrong and right in life
in opinion that depends upon your
perception
if you perceive it’s right it’s right
for you that may be wrong for someone
else
but i never thought that before
we get some conflict within the
organization i always think this is
right this is wrong
on the basis of wrong and right i always
move on
and that creates some confusion between
myself
and the board and the colleagues i was
operating with the integrity i was
operating with full of my potential
perhaps was there but that is not
adequate so
i never evaluate myself before than that
all the time i always had time to
evaluate and judge other people
but never had time to judge myself
because i never reviewed myself
i always have time to judge everyone my
friends my family my
relatives and everyone we do as of now
we are not happy with the system we are
not happy with the politics we are not
happy with the
education system people’s colleagues and
everyone
sometimes we feel like that out of the
7.8 billion people one only one
me i am the good one all over the world
not good if we feel like that
we never review ourselves so that is the
biggest problem
sometimes we need to review our words we
need to review our actions we need to
review our behaviors
and if some reconciliations are required
we need to go for that
but there was this
understanding i got only i got some
conflict within the organization and
this and that
so we just performed performance was
better
no issue everything was good with all
integrity but
there was a conflict and when there is a
conflict in organization
another next opportunity comes from so
many people
so what happens when there is a conflict
what do we do
we need to reconcile with the person or
the individual with
with whom we have conflict but what we
do generally
we just talk with the people has similar
mindset
and we sit together and there is a
groupism so some group
who agree with me they are with me they
just fuel me
for their opinion and other things then
i think oh no it’s better
it’s right that should be the right
thing so right and wrong
then this conflict of right and wrong
between groups
will be there and this organizational
conflict starts and that was my
experience
so later on i evaluate i just this so
i talk to even my board members so it’s
not fair
it’s not good we need to do something
extra something else because we are here
as a ceo or a board member
we are like a trustee we are trustee for
the public money
we are a trustee for the public
confidence and trust so
there should be no place there should be
no place for our
like and dislike there should be no
place for our personal interest because
the institutional interest is fast
so when we focus on the goal of the
organizations there will be no conflict
when with personal conflict personal
goals will be there then there will be
conflict when there will be a conflict
then reconciliation is required but many
times
we do not reconcile within us that
create conflict
and that conflict ultimately will be the
reason for
lower performance of the organization
and that that that will
deteriorate the organization culture and
values as well so
finally many people ask then this is the
coveted situation
and in between the kobe situation you
just resign from that level of co
in a bank very lucrative job i always
share two three things with my
colleagues friends and all
so doing job is required but
while i do the job i need to justify
with the job job is the responsibility
and being a ceo or the head of
institutions is like a captaincy
captain ship is a different thing i need
to
play in a ground with my team so every
team members
like a cricket if everybody play well
then match
then team will win the match football
everybody play well
then that team will win the match only
captain will play
good then the team will not win the
match so we need to take that
total institutions either this football
team or this cricket team
and everyone has a responsibility from
that guard level to seo level to board
level
we need to respect every positions like
that it’s like a film
and being a position of the ceo
deportatio or manager or entrepreneurs
and everything
it’s like a role in a life it’s like a
role in a film
so in a film sometimes we play some role
in
other film we play different role so
this positions our role so we discharge
or roll perfectly and adequately so
with these thinking and feelings and i
just asked with me
mr gawley are you happy with the job
whatever you have as of now
then again i ask whether you are adding
positive value to the institutions
this institution is adding positive
value to you and
will you feeling to go to office all the
time or not
so i think something negative reply
got so i said with the board and all so
it’s right time to leave because with
heavy heart and negative mind
we should not continue with any
organization because that will neither
create
better value for you or the organization
that’s why
i said thank you very much so i’ll just
quit and go
out of it so amicably we just
settle everything and i just quit and i
joined next bank
and as of now if i truly share with you
so
many organizational conflicts are there
because of this
reconciliation issues so we talk to the
people
having similar mindset if we know some
people have some problem with you we
never talk to them
we talk to some other people who don’t
we have same problem with that guy
so that is the problem in the
organization and another things we just
uh take negative minds and the heavy
heart and to join the job and go
for the salary if we go and
make attendance for one day we’ll get
salary of one day we think like that
and we just go to the job that will
never help
neither the person nor the institution
so we need to be honest
and we need to be honest with
organizations and or things
so this is the thing and with all these
mindset and things
so i said during this two decades
experience and exposure
whatever i learned during this two years
of
cos performance really matters for me
because i know the soft skills matters
more than the
hard skill and this skills will be
utilized for my
new institutions and the better career
in the future so we need to evaluate
ourselves we need to evaluate all
actions behavior and things so that we
can move forward
uh with a beautiful organization culture
and values
with this saying so sharing with these
experiences
so i want to say thank you thank you
very much thank you
