Practically seen first time ..How HR can turaround things!!!

I am involved in a committee at my college (not taking name...lets say "Stuti") In stuti we are 3 members ...2 from different Course and only me from HR. Now I was the only person who was handling full responsibility from maintaining records to organizing events at college and making college proud of "stuti" .But as we passed one year and became seniors suddenly out of blue those inactive members got out of sleep and started working to impress juniors and make their space. they were really helpless coz they never took interest in stuti and its activities and so being initiative taker..I did all, with no complaints coz I joined stuti out of passion..not out of position while for those two members it was just enjoying position.

Now was the time to recruit people from junior batch for part of "stuti" . I being friendly and helping them to adjust to stuti and its activities helped them to conduct all but they thought HR is not required and went as per their guidelines...Now here being on same platform..I cant act as manager and treat them as subordinates to comply to me..but I tried to handle situation in all possible way and now the situation is the juniors are fed up working with those two members and 50% has moved out. they are left with only one person with them and now I have my separate team as HR stuti including me and 2 from juniors. But as a team leader , I never wanted it to happen. so I tried again to unite the team by making HR juniors involved with other other sub team...and for it I was ready to move out. But again ...I cant as being a part of pioneer of stuti .
You know what actually went wrong there..
They did not agree on having defined roles and responsibilities..that was first biggest mistake to undermine HR value..and it led to chaos and overlapping and so confusion in whole system.
second, they never agreed to be fair and impartial to juniors . lack of fairness and transparency caused fear in juniors and hey moved out.
third, juniors were not treated as contributors but just subordinates..that caused dissatisfaction for work they did..no reward and recognition for them was there.
Fourthly..the documentation was not there to keep record and track of activites, leading to utter miss management

Ultimately..dying stage of stuti..but i hope that the intervention I am going to use will definitely be successful to make it happen again all well.
wait for the results...Till the just one lesson..HR IS THE SOUL OF SUCCESS FOR EVERY TEAM>>>HOW MUCH IT MAY BE HUGE , HOW MUCH IT MAY BE SMALL.

Arena...August 2008

At IMI every month i have uncertainty about the issue I as a part of team Arena handles. Arena is a monthly e- magazine that is handled by a team of 6 people at IMI that talk about the management stuff, news at campus , events, etc.

This time we had theme to flaunt students activities like Tantra Mantra in HR Summit at college, or Prahelika- Finance Summit. Also we had couple of good articles from people in our team including me and this time two of my articles got published...wud u believe. one in collaboration with two other colleagues at IMI and one solely mine. HuH...I feel great . You know its also been rolled out to various corporate houses and other B-Schools.

This time also we were successful. However i feel there still room to improve a lot...and so Journey is going great..Arena Rocks!!!!
