Rethinking the future...

Read a book Rethinking the future edited by Rowan Gibson which is a compilation of thoughts by people like
  • Rowan Gibson:-Tomorrow's successful leaders as per Warren Bennis "They will decentralize power and democratize strategy by involving a rich mixture of different people from inside and outside the organisation in the process of inventing the future"
  • Charles Handy:-
    1.Life is full of contradictions and surprises,that it is in fact full of paradoxes.
    2.If employed people are intelligent and self thinkers, give them responsibilities, empower them otherwise they will leave you.
    3.Give space to employee initiatives, define success.Some people work very hard, whole burden falls on one individual, which he can't cope.The result can be burnout or at least lot of stress.
    4.The great and most satisfying thing in life, i think, is a sense of purpose beyond yourself, if the purpose is selfcentered it rapidly dissipates.
  • Stephen Covey:-
    1.Tomorrow's successful leaders will value principles more than they value their companies
    2.The leader as a farmer "you have to create the right conditions, the right climate for growth and opportunity"

i am the very priviledged student of Rajesh sir. i totally agree with what he has to say about inexperienced students like myself!there is this quotation that i really believe in and have been following!! "The world stands aside for the people who know where they are going"!! i would just like to say that time heals evrything but experience is something that does'nt leave a person till the time he knows he is done!!its really true that no 1 does really think much abt his/her boss mainly bcoz they tend to forget they are more experienced than us who have got age by our side!!youth and experience are in a rabbit n tortoise race!!when i say experience is tortoise the clear winner is out there!!!!slow n steady always wins the race!!!
