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.

Believe in people and expect the best from them


When we consistently believe in the capabilities of our team to achieve and deliver, then we will treat them with respect, encourage them, and appreciate them whenever possible. This will produce the results as per our belief. This whole positive effect is usually referred to as the pygmalion effect. There is a very good write up about this by Eric Garner that is worth reading rather than me explaining it here.
