Description
A Presentation about Competent Employees.
What is the meaning of this course?
THE OBJECTIVES OF THE COURSE
? To help the students understand the deeper meanings
of competencies both in the generic sense and in the industry-specific senses ? To have insights into different types of organisations and different types of businesses in terms of Vision, Mission, Strategies, Structures and Job Profiles ? To use those insights to arrive at an understanding of the specific competencies relevant to specific businesses
GENERIC COMPETENCIES
? What does it mean? Something ingrained as
skills/abilities/knowledge? How did that ingraining take place? The debate about inherited vs. acquired/learnt ? Competency is a gestalt term which covers all abilities, skills, knowledge, perspectives etc. and yet is greater than any one of them individually
GENERIC COMPETENCIES
? In a way it is connected with the identity of a person-
or more appropriately is a part of ones identity ? What is Identity? One’s self image, self ideal, role model, world view, the feelings about the self, the meaning one has given to life etc. ? How does the identity of an individual develop or evolve?
ERIK ERIKSON MODEL & OTHERS
? Erikson’s Eight Stages of Man
? The influence of the mode of conception on the
eventual identity of an individual- from Samkhya philosophy- conceived in love, lust or a sense of duty- a typical brilliant Indian insight with no backing from documented research ? The influence of the mother’s life style while the foetus is in the womb- the American researches ? The late Dr Pulin Garg’s theory of being received at birth in love, hostility or indifference
ERIKSON MODEL
? First Year- the stage of Trust vs. Mistrust
? 2 to 4 years- the stage of Autonomy vs. Shame & Doubt ? 4 to 6/7 years- the stage of Initiative vs. Guilt
? School Age- the stage of Competency & Industry vs.
Inferiority ? Adolescence- a second birth almost- what happens in adolescence depend on the legaces of the earlier stages
ERIKSON MODEL
? Adolescence: An Overcrystallized Identity vs. Open &
? ? ? ?
Flexible Identity vs. Diffused Identity The first one leads to one’s taking on oversize roles The second one leads to creative role making The third one leads to Role Confusion This is the stage for peer pressures, search for heroes/role models, search for an ideological integration of the world
ERIKSON MODEL
? Young Adulthood- the stage of Intimacy vs. Isolation &
Creativity vs. Imitation ? Middle Age- the stage for Generativity vs. Stagnationleadership, philosophy, literary/artistic pursuits, religion in a positive sense etc ? Old Age- Integrity & Wisdom vs. Despair
COMPETENCIES-GENERIC VS. SPECIFIC
? Generic Competences are the foundation for specific
competencies- if the former is weak no amount of effort will build an outstanding specific competency ? Even a strong Generic Competency left to itself will tend to become abstract and not have any concrete manifestation
COMPETENCIES-GENERIC VS. SPECIFIC
? Examples: strong skills in Spoken English does not
always translate into oratorical, conversational skills, presentation skills etc. for which one requires specific training ? Strong skills in written English require further training in skilful report writing ? Strong mathematical skills hav to be refined into research methods using statistical tools
