We all accomplish some thing every day. It is just that we move past those without much emphasis. As a manager, we clear hurdles for our teams all the time... as small as getting the right resource to move a project along without noticeable delay. As a leader, we bring about changes in peoples behavior quite often... as small as making someone consistently follow a company/department/team procedure. We play a part in building relationships withing the company and between companies. Every act that is directed towards keeping the ship sailing smooth is worthy of taking note. We avert bigger problems some times through what appears to be a simple act which is part of our everyday work/responsibility. Most big problems stem from small issues, and every small positive act to avert that must be recognized. After every small accomplishment, we must take a brief moment to analyze what actions of ours lead up to that accomplishment and feel good about ourselves for doing that. This will help us fill our minds everyday with our strengths and capabilities to bring about a positive change. It will also serve as a mental knowledge base that we will consciously build everyday. Our mind will be able to draw from this knowledge base unconsciously whenever needed... thus paving the way for more and bigger accomplishments.
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.

Savor every accomplishment
