Ye Duniya..Hai isme kitne Jhol!!

The essence of Leadership has got so lost in the current scenario that everything has become materialistic and green-back driven. All what matters is how much do you earn and how do you flaunt it. All affairs of Heroism has become a matter of media attention and so short-lived. We are running, not because it's our hobby rahter because it's necessary for keeping us going.
Be it the 'Babudom' in the govt. sector or the 'work driven culture' in the private domain, what matters most is how well are you able to influence people up the order, and is least about how good you really are at what you do. In such a scenario the essence and meaning of a LEADER losses its relevance...
PS: This comes from my own experience, so far. People around have actually become so narrow and mean that they can just not think beyond their own-self. Leave the talk of accountability. All that prevails is back-biting and selfishness. Not that I'm paranoid, more so because my experience says so.. Disappointing!!

Hey Manish,

Your thoughts are quite justified specially in the context of the recent economic recession and its causes. As also examples of the CEOs/ leaders who succumbed to personal greed or power.

But then I feel this is is one side of the coin. As the saying goes "It takes all sorts to make the world". There are perhaps more examples of exemplary leadership.

May I take the liberty of requesting you to take a peek in my blog posts on Leadership. (a) Rushmorean Leadership (b) Supreme Leadership and (c) The Power of a Vision.

So lets uphold the spirit of great leaders by making our own small contribution to and make the world a happier place. I am sure 'we all can do it'. :)

best,

Dilip

Muhabbat ki ek aur Daastaan!

Soul Curry-timeslife. TOIM/2010/04/18 And they lived happily... NOW their story can be told... Gautam has returned home, cheerful and happily married. He has lost some hair though, and put on a few kilos. But that cannot be helped, after six months of sustained radiation and chemotherapy sessions. We were always worried about Gautam, not so much for his health as for his being perennially “accidentprone”. That was the expression my wife had reserved for him for the way he used to fall in and out of love. Women, no doubt, found him handsome and flipped for him at first sight. But having known him for over 20 years, I knew that for all his charming ways and dashing looks, he was actually an old-fashioned bloke and painfully self-righteous — a trait many of his girlfriends found rather off-putting. So when Sandhya walked out of an Internet portal and into his life, we were pleasantly surprised. They had a small engagement ceremony in Delhi. The marriage would be fixed once Sandhya g

who said humanity

Read a quote shared by my dear sir, Brigadier Naidu “It is a little embarrassing that, after 45 years of research and study, the best advice I can give to people is to be a little kinder to each other” - Aldous Huxley I am just curious if any one ever asked Mr. Huxley on how being kind and accepting can lead to a state of infliction! These kind of people are considered rare or rather extinct species and it is a general knowledge that whoever enacts such is a dumb and fool or may be far more dangerous. The mad Race that we are all in.. thr always remains a danger of meeting with accidents due to slightest of deviations.. The world has becm like dis whr distrust takes over any other form of humanitarian traits.  We are told from the childhood how important it's to mark oneself always ahead of the crowd. ...but When you are always ahead, you are also alone. How can kindness be shared in such a situation? I'm not sure if the cynic in me is taking over...! But I'm sure dis

Premium Gods You have really become a tough-reach! Is it our sins or insecurities.. or something entirely different that I’m not yet aware of at my present level of Emotional Maturity? ... ...These thoughts have started penetrating my soul since day before yesterday when I stood for around 6-7 hours in the queue for Tirumala-Tirupati Lord Balaji' s Darshan.  Before my intent & message in this post becomes contextually incorrect, let me clarify that I was not at all affected by the wait-time. Because, I’m such an astute believer of Transcendental Powers, and I believe God exist. And these temples are really places where you go seeking their blessings. This needs a lot of efforts both physically & emotionally. And I'm really always ready to endure because the endurance is what magnifies the overall transcendental experiences. So, coming back to the wait-time let me first explain the title of my Post first..! I’d like to Define Premium God a
