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.

Swallow dissatisfaction with a smile


A busy life has the potential to generate dissatisfaction from family, social and work situations. As social bodies, we may tend to share this pain verbally, physically or emotionally with the group around us. Such spreading of pain could, at best, provide temporary relief through camaraderie. It is of prime importance for a manager to keep their team happy and upbeat, in order to get work done. This is even more important when we as managers are feeling down, because we need as much positive results as possible to lift us back up. By getting our team and others around us all upset, we will only bring more problems to us at a time when we are not in a position to resolve them. So, it is best for us to keep our problems to ourselves by swallowing it quickly...with a smile.
