A dialogue I want to preserve for life.....

The world ain't all sunshine and rainbows. It's a very mean and nasty place and I don't care how tough you are it will beat you to your knees and keep you there permanently if you let it. You, me, or nobody is gonna hit as hard as life. But it ain't about how hard ya hit. It's about how hard you can get it and keep moving forward. How much you can take and keep moving forward. That's how winning is done! Now if you know what you're worth then go out and get what you're worth. But ya gotta be willing to take the hits, and not pointing fingers saying you ain't where you wanna be because of him, or her, or anybody! Cowards do that and that ain't you! You're better than that!----------------Rocky Balboa

Leadership: My perspective

I want to discuss about the most debated topic in corporate life and MBA schools: Leadership. I have been reading thesis and sheaves of paper full of complicated principles. I hold a very simplistic view on this. I feel Leadership is nothing but "Being Human". Yes, this phrase has been copied from a popular charity organization but I think this is precisely as simple as this. Imagine a situation: leading a business with a hierarchy in place. Now, the business cannot run until the team works together. It will be fraught with internal politics and sensitivities. It, thus, becomes imperative for a leader to think as a human, as a person in his colleague's shoes. It is important to think that way as the person may need a neutral person to be driven out of dilemnas. It is this human side which can make a difference to the business as well as individual team members.

Just a wild thought!!! Test it and let me know the results...
