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.

Take stock before you order

We sometimes enter new organizations as leaders, to improve them. In such cases, we must remember that all organizations have their good and bad performers. Lotus, a very beautiful flower, grows in muddy dirty waters. But, it does not show any trace of the mud/dirt. So, it is possible to have good talent in not so good places. The effectiveness of identifying good performers is the mark of great leadership. It is a much better strategy to retain good performers and provide them an environment to succeed than ignore them and substitute them with good performers from the outside.
