Background

Since the days of my management education in graduate school (many many years ago), more so after I had a class on Business Ethics, I started to think about business and personal mangement from a different perspective. While staying focussed on the goals, it is very important to have one very fundamental value as the basis to drive the day to day approach to management. If this fundamental value is the same for personal and professional management, one's life becomes very consistent. This fundamental value in my opinion is positive energy. In a world where it is easy to get sucked into very simple negative habits like "talking behind someone" to very disastrous negative engagements like terrorism, it is important to realize that it is very possible to learn and master the skills to stay positive and reap success. This blog is my small effort to impart these techniques to acquire, sustain and weave in positive approaches into our lives. I will focus more on professional management techniques for the corporate world, however, I will also discuss personal management techniques to break up the monotony.

Understanding negative sentiments - the cause of problems

People are full of positive energy by default, and this is the natural outcome of any human action. Negative actions are usually uncontrolled reactions to unavoidable circumstances of difficulty. The keywords here are uncontrolled and reaction. Could these reactions be more of actions and can they be controlled by rational human thought process? Absolutely!

Negative actions are easier solutions in difficult situations. They require relativley less thought, courage and time. Because of the level of thought involved and rash nature, they usually gain support and momentum faster. They are a very powerful destructive force in any professional/social organization.
