Common sense and flawed emotion don’t always mix ...and this allows for the most unfathomable tendencies, you might laugh at someone for, to have a realistic basis. ...how do you really differentiate b/w DareDeviltry & FoolHardy (???)

Putting the Ship in Leadership We know you've waited for this for a long, long time. So here we are. What the hell were we saying?  Right. The thing you waited for. It's what you were waiting for before you even knew you were waiting for it. Another blog on leadership. But this isn't just any leadership, see. It's leadership in a language you can understand. You have a hard time with big words sometimes.  We understand. Un - der -stand.  So we took a long, hard look at what some of our common denominators were to better communicate with you. The list was short. It was either blockbuster movies of the 90's (because who could avoid them - then, or now on repeat over public broadcasting stations) or Twinkies. We're sure there's a deep Twinkie philosophy buried in there somewhere, but we thought it might be a bit elevated for your vocabulary.  Vo -cab-u- lary . The words you know. Yeah, that's it. Good for you! That left us wit

Why you and the boss are totally different When you take a long time, you're slow. When your boss takes a long time, he's thorough. When you don't do it, you're lazy. When your boss doesn't do it, he's too busy. When you make a mistake, you're an idiot. When your boss makes a mistake, he's only human. When doing something without being told, you're overstepping your authority. When your boss does the same thing, that's initiative. When you take a stand, you're being bull-headed. When your boss does it, he's being firm. When you overlooked a rule of etiquette, you're being rude. When your boss skips a few rules, he's being original. When you please your boss, you're apple polishing. When your boss pleases his boss, he's being co-operative. When you're out of the office, you're wandering around. When your boss is out of the office, he's on business. When you're on a day off s

Don't let the toxic bosses (TBs) get you down Toxic bosses are an organisational reality. Unfortunately, the corporate universe values the knowledge of leadership more than the actual practice of leadership, which is relegated to showcasing by some iconic leaders. The corporate universe, therefore, finds itself strewn with toxic bosses or TBs; those who know their leadership theory too well but their horrific real-time leadership practices would leave even their teachers red-nosed and embarrassed.  However, success in the work-world belongs to those who have developed the ability to manage all kinds of complex bosses; they veer through the corporate maze much faster and with a lot more ease compared to those who never got such an opportunity or could tackle only simple passes.  Whether your boss is an indecisive chocolate wrapper, an unambitious grunt, a control freak, a politician or a whip–cracker, all TBs are a blessing; they help you build your long-term versatility to ta

Being bitchy is in. Thu, Mar 18 02:50 PM Cannot help but post it as is. Just to spread the awareness! :) http://in.news.yahoo.com/248/20100318/1610/tls-being-bitchy-is-in_1.html Sweet, goody- goody girls of the recession - move over.  Bitchy is back in business.  Here's our list of women who make the cut It's the season of rich lists - the useful, if sometimes cruel, way of telling people where exactly they stand in the world; what exactly is their worth. Don't get us wrong - we don't have anything against lists. What we believe is that there are other ways of weighing self worth as well. Other ways that show how far you've come, or how far you'll go.  Other ways which measure how much power you have in you to intimidate the people around you. Enter, The Bitch List. Recognising the merits of a list like this one becomes all the more pertinent this season. As we emerge out of the period of global recession, everybody's gotten a little tired of being t

Refer dictionary and you shall get the meanings like "a strong affection," "an unselfish, loyal and benevolent concern for others," and " to feel a passion or tenderness." Practically, LOVE represents a million varied feelings while visiting personal opinions and expressions of  people. That truly recounts that one’s personal opinion about love is it's most complicated a FEELING and goes much deeper than any other such thing. Traditionally, To love is to give up everything for another’s happiness. So says the high-esteemed narratives on love-tales of eternal lovers  world over. Even in India, we have quite a few stories of selfless and devotional love not only of Radha-Krishna but a lot other mortal stories Though, a pragmatic approach (as per my own feelings and observations..) is not to be just plane-irrational with state of affairs as it never culminates with the desired end. Likewise, it all operates in Love.  The more you try to give//like
