TM-MB TIME Dinisha Manchanda Local Committee Vice President - Talent Management AIESEC in Delhi University

Brief Summary Membership in Delhi University is considered to be the key growing resource to achieve any set goal and thus, for the same reason Talent Management is given utmost importance. It's only when one plans to manage the various talent capacities of the members, members find their reasons to stay in the organisation as they experience growth and development in them, which thus contributes to the retention rate. Integration of reflection space, alongside team minimums has played a pivotal role, in achieving high retention rate and high productivity level. Also, when the members realise their own potential and talent,

it comes as natural instinct to learn more so as to fulfill the potential in them and achieve targets. Keeping the above in mind, AIESEC in Delhi University provides various reflectional and creational spaces to it’s membership, in order to facilitate growth and manage various talent capacities, one such space is known as TM-MB TIME.

Why Nowadays what we as individuals do is, that we keep moving forward without having taken out a moment to look back and reflect. Also, a lot of times this scenario has come to the forefront wherein members have complained of putting in innumerable efforts, and efforts not leading to any substantial results. Due to which there comes the break even point, where in rather than realizing and appreciating our gains, we tend to give up, and move on. Thus, in order to curb such a situation, increase productivity levels, boost retention rate and facilitate membership growth, TM-MB TIME was formulated and implemented, with major emphasis on Inner-Outer Journey and Team Minimums.

How TM-MB TIME is a 45 minute Interaction space created by VP Talent Management with every Management Body member respectively. This space is first used as a experience closing reflection space, where in the MB member is made to obliviously go through the inner-outer journey by simply answering few specific questions. After once all the questions have been answered, he/she is made to realize and appreciate the value gained out of the experience, they have lived in AIESEC so far, and thus their experience is closed. Moving on, the reflection space is then connected to team

minimums, considering any or every problem that a Team Leader might face in his/her term has it’s solution in Team Minimums. The same is conveyed to the MB Member with the use of a presentation and various examples, wherein rather than explaining each and every team minimum and their subparts, they're made to realize and acknowledge the value that each team minimum has to offer and thus are made to understand how team minimums are not AIESEC Knowledge, but knowledge for life, as it constitutes the basis of a TEAM. For instance: A scenario wherein, efforts are there but they aren't leading to substantial results, the problem is not with

the member or with the Team Leader, but the problem along with the solution lies in Team Minimum number 5, “Tracking & Coaching”. Because if a member is putting in efforts, then it’s not possible that there be no results, here rather than finding out the problem and thus finding out the solution, the team leader simply needs to sit down and track his/her member carefully at each and every step of the process, and needs to thus redefine the entire strategy and replan the entire way for his/her member and walk his/her member through it. Thus, he/she needs to TRACK & COACH his/her member, if done properly, no team leader or team will ever fail.

Following are the values that each team minimum offers: Team: Sense of OWNERSHIP Plan: Sense of ACCOUNTABILITY Job Description: Sense of RESPONSIBILITY Training: TOOL to work Tracking & Coaching: PERFORMANCE Driver Evaluation & Reflection: Sense of MOTIVATION

Once the Management Body Member finally understands and acknowledges the importance of reflectional space and team minimums, then a ten minute motivational talk is conducted, wherein quarterly expectations are set and the member is motivated, and thus the space is ended on a high note.

Contribution to the Local Chapter Management Body has emerged as the strongest body for the local chapter in the year 2016. There is no skewness at all in the MB, while high level of productivity and retention is maintained. Management Body completely understands team minimums and the values it has to offer and the same is being driven down to the general body members, thus leading to high efficiency of membership.
