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.

Focus on content


Most of us value message content based on who delivered it and how it was delivered. We give importance only to a message delivered correctly by someone we like. This is a biased reaction. Such behavior could put us at a disadvantage if the original message could be beneficial to us. It is wise to not trust everything we hear. But, we must analyze everything we hear before we accept or discard it.

"Epporul yaar yaar vaay ketpinum, apporul meipporul kanbadarivu" is yet another tamil aphorism by Thiruvalluvar. It translates as "Whatever anyone may say, discovering the true meaning behind their words is real wisdom".
