S imon Sinek presents a simple but powerful model for inspirational leadership starting with a question “Why?”
The Job of an Executive!
A few days back I was busy reading Peter Drucker’s “The Effective Executive” and I realized that how much important is the work of “knowledge worker” and much more is difficult to define his duties. I am planning to write my conclusions from the book, but today, I happened to read a passage from Seth’s Blog, and I admit that these words spoke my mind. I quote them here as a preamble to my coming posts on How to become an Effective Execute?, here is the quote that truly defines the role of an executive and a knowledge worker: I always took the position that my boss (when I had a job) worked for me. My job was to do the thing I was hired to do, and my boss had assets that could help me do the job better. His job, then, was to...
Create Your Own Brand Story
H ow to Create Your Own Brand Story? To create a compelling brand story, you need to move beyond a simple cataloging of your product and benefits and answer questions about your purpose, your identity and what exactly your position is in the marketplace. This begins with a series of questions that you ask internally: Who are we? Why do we do what we do? What do we care about? What’s our purpose? Why do we matter to the people that we do business with? What would we want people to say about us when they are satisfied? What would we want people to say about us when they are dissatisfied? What will we absolutely not do? What are we most proud of? The internal questions are followed by an examination of the external environment: Who are our...
The Road to entrepreneurship
A ccording to Wikipedia: “An entrepreneur is a person who has possession of an enterprise, or venture, and assumes significant accountability for the inherent risks and the outcome. It is an ambitious leader who combines land, labor, and capital to often create and market new goods or services.” So entrepreneurship is quite a “buzz word” nowadays; every now and then we hear success stories of young and ambitious businessmen who managed to attain success and recognition in their early phase of life, when their peers are working miserable jobs that they hate! Without going into further details about “What is entrepreneurship?” and “What are the merits or demerits(if there are any) involved in this particular mindset?”,...
If I fail 100 times, I will finish strong. Do you ?
R ecently enough, a friend of mine sent me a very inspirational video of Nick Vujicic (more about hom later.) This guy has got no arms and limbs, but he teaches you How to live Strong? I recommend you to view the video below, then I continue my post. So this is Nick Vujicic, I had not heard him before, but a little search revealed much about him. Below is a short overview of his life without limits.! The best thing I like about Nick Vujicic, is that he has grasped the True meaning of Belief in God, although he is a Christian (and I am not.) but the think I liked about him is that he has understood the most important things about God, fate and struggle in life that most people (no matter whichever religion they follow) fail to understand. In the following...
Managers VS Leaders–What Distinguishes a Leader ?
& #160; I just read the following excerpt from the book Tribes by Seth Godins and I just can’t resist the temptation to share: Managers manage by using the authority the factory gives them. You listen to your manager or you lose your job. A manager can’t make change because that’s not his job. His job is to complete tasks assigned to him by someone else in the factory. Leaders, on the other hand, don’t care very much for organizational structure or the official blessing of whatever factory they work for. They use passion and ideas to lead people as opposed to using threats and bureaucracy to manage them. Leaders must become aware of how the organization works, because this awareness allows them to change...
