The actual problem comes when individual aspirations conflict with those defined by the organization. If an employee is good in one thing, it need to be that he is good in everything. Teams/organizations end up drawing a value chart of expectations from each and every employee. But, where they fail is to evaluate the abilities and above all, the aspirzations of the individual It's possible that an individual wants to do something else whereas the team wants him to do something else. It's not a case of an individual being wanted in the team but it's a case of individual wanting to do a thing assigned to him. It would be appropriate from the individual's perspective to set his aspirations and desires right from the beginning. Then, try and evaluate if he/she can achieve it by staying in the current team/workplace. If yes, then strive for it by going beyond the expectations set for him. If no, discuss it with managers/superiors and try to land up on a solution. Every employee is valuable. It's just a matter of valuing our needs. Finally, if you feel that the work environment is great despite the fact that it might not give you what you want, then it's time to modify your aspirations to suit what your employee wants and also to ensure that you stay focussed. It's all in the rigidity of the mind. We think we are good at this, so let's continue with this, else we would end up being a failure. Not at all true. It's a matter of being self-conscious and knowing what we can do, and not what we are doing.
