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.

What is Positive?

Positive energy leads to the creation of win-win situations.

A picture that stays in mind from my childhood days is of the 3 monkeys that represent "Hear no evil, see no evil, speak no evil". I would like to add to this... do no evil. This is another way to explain positive.

In the words of Thiruvalluvar, positive is "Inna seidaarai oruthal ,avar naana nannayam seithuvidal". This tamil aphorism means "How will a man punish those who have done injustice to him? By doing good back to them and shaming them". with his kindness"
