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.

Perform for pride


Even in a professional setting...we sometimes may not think adequately and in turn act in a manner that we are not really proud of. This is more prone to happen when we think that this is not important enough for anybody to get into the details of this in the near future. This may get us past that hour or that day. If we are conscious of the quality of our work and work ethic, this will be in our mind for a long time and it will make us guilty. If we are not as conscious of those, we still run the risk of being exposed, and we are in fear when put in situations warranting the unraveling of our work. Such feelings are a true detriment to peak performance. They put us in the defensive and divert our focus away from working towards positive growth and success.

Every act of ours must reflect our professionalism. They must be our source of pride. They are our building blocks to establish a 100% referenceable professional circle. They will definitely guarantee peace of mind, which is the essence of continued success.
