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.

Why Positive Management?


Clarity of thought is key to sound decision making. Having one central value to drive decisions provides an easier path to clear thinking. Optimism is the essence of any growth oriented strategic planning. Optimism is the manifestation of internal positive well being. Productive synergy is the natural outcome of a happy team, and happy teams are made up of appreciative members and an encouraging leader. From Mahatma Gandhi's principle of non-violence to Dr. Randy Pausch's last lecture, history is full of examples of positive means to achieve results. These are result oriented acts that one can be proud of for a long time to come.
