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.

Think like an entrepreneur


A lot of times we tune our performance to the corporate environment we are in. If all is well, we go the extra mile and do more than our best. If the environment is not perfect, our output is sub optimal. This reactive behavior is not growth oriented. This makes us mechanical and controllable by others' actions.

We are in the best position to look out for our good. So, we must. If we assume that our circle of influence is our own company, then everything external to that circle should seem like external factors that affect our business. We will not let our business go down with external influence. Instead, we will fight to survive and grow. If we adopt this strategy, this will give us a lot of experience to handle adverse conditions, and in turn provide personal satisfaction and happiness. This in turn will show in the results we produce. It will be noticed by somebody and this will pave the way for long term success either in the current organization or another or our own.
