Some things Which I have learned in my life.

We must always begin with our strengths . From the earliest years of our schooling, everyone focuses on what is wrong with us. While it is important for us to know what we are not good at, we must also cherish what is good in us. That is because it is only our strengths that can give us the energy to correct our weaknesses. A rupee earned is of far more value than five found . I have found that nothing gives as much satisfaction as earning our rewards. In fact, what is gifted or inherited follows the old rule of 'easy come, easy go'. I guess we only know the value of what we have if we have struggled to earn it. No one bats a hundred every time . Life has many challenges. You win some, you lose some. You must enjoy winning. But do not let it go to your head. The moment it does, you are already on your way to failure. And if you do encounter failure along the way, treat it as an equally natural phenomenon. Don't beat yourself for it or any one else for that matter! Accept...

5 Important E's of My Life.

What differentiates good leaders from great managers ? I believe good leaders nurture & foster talent & complete the task at hand by motivating & empowering their team to deliver. An efficient manager on the other hand is focused more on delivery & execution. One of the key turning points in my career was realising that as you move up the corporate ladder, your managerial skills need to be complemented with strong leadership skills . Business results flow from imbibing teams with shared values & a common purpose & then energising & motivating them to raise the bar. One of the first things that I was quick to understand was that relationship development was as important as rule & process definition. How you said something was as important as what you said. This learning has stayed with me & it has undoubtedly been a tremendous asset in my current role. Much of my leadership style can be characterised using the concept of 4Es +1. The 4Es stand for Ener...

The Popeye & spinach lesson of management.

The turning point for Popeye the sailor is when he gets his spinach. He guzzles a full can & wallops a large competitor. The turning point for Asterix is when he gets his magic potion. Guru Gobind Singh administered the Amrit to the ordinary to get transformational results: the metaphorical sparrow that could challenge the eagle. It’s the confidence in oneself & the responsibility of a leader to discover & administer this magic potion that transforms an ordinary person into a winner. Research on a particular species of a bee sums up this behaviour. This species is known to jump 36 inches. When placed in a jar of 12 inches, they jump out. However, when a lid is placed on the jar, they struggle & eventually give up. Once the lid is removed, the bees no longer jump 36 inches. They jump only eight inches & remain in the open jar. They have been conditioned. While in the closed jar every time they jumped higher their head hit the lid. Most of us in life live smaller live...

Seven Tricks to Remember Names

Hi everybody. I'm back here to blogging. Check it out to learn something. Being able to remember names is a valuable asset in both the business & social arenas. It helps you build instant rapport with new contacts, & as many companies place a premium on interpersonal & relationship-building skills, it makes a decidedly good impression on employers, too. So eliminate "whatshername" & "whatshisface" from your vocabulary once & for all. The following techniques can help you remember the names of everyone you meet. 1. Be interested : Many of us don't even catch the other person's name when they're being introduced; we're too focused on ourselves. So the first step to remembering a name is to pay attention as you are introduced. 2. Verify : Unless the person has introduced himself to you, verify what he or she wishes to be called. At a conference or seminar, for example, the name tag may have been typed incorrectly or it may be a m...

Love Yourself

Answer this question truthfully. How many times have you told yourself 'I love you? ' You've probably said this many times to your spouse, parents, children - but have you ever said this to yourself? Probably, never. Ask yourself why? Why do you find it difficult to say these three magical words to yourself? If you cannot love yourself, how will you love others. And the first step to loving yourself is telling yourself loud & clear, "I love you". Women may still find it easy to do so, but ask a man to say this to himself & chances are that he'll squirm and reply: "You think I am a geek." Does saying 'I love you' to yourself take away from a man's macho qualities? In fact, saying this helps you verbalize your feelings. You have to be your best friend & feel comfortable with yourself. Remember if you love yourself you feel worthy, if your feel worthy you feel competent, & if you feel competent you are ready to love. How do y...
