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.

Help often


Life is full of challenges for all of us. We must be happy for all those times that we are not bogged down by those challenges, and we are sailing smooth. At times like these, there may be others who are not sailing quite as smooth as we are. We must take these opportunities to help them overcome their challenge. Since our mind is free from any major issues that we need to solve for ourselves, this is the best time for it to take on more. The more help points we can earn at times like these will pay us many fold later. First, it will help build relationships within a corporate structure. This in turn will be huge to get things done (even across department/company lines). Next, it will make it easier for us to get help when we need it. Last, but not the least, it helps build charisma through positive deeds. If we put out a helping hand to someone who has not previously shown much concern for us, it will help them realize their mistake and change their attitude and behavior towards us.
