Put people first before work

When you know the way, and when you have to be together everything else will be managed.
Choose the right people and you shall discover maps never known to the brightest minds. 

Decision!

Amazon joined the Android Race. You might think "why so late"? It was just the right time for the company to be there. There is no point in getting into something without preparedness. There is a great admiration for the agile in the market. What makes one perform good is his/her ability to anticipate, ponder and then jump over the decision. What matters at the end of the day is being spry and not being hasty.

There is a right time and a right call for the every thing, small or big. A momenttary decision on a temporary emotion is a hasty decision which can neither be adorned or embellished. A moentary spry can project the agility but not take you anywhere on the long run. The Swing in the gold prices, the Korean War are few examples which have taken odd shapes because of few hasty decisions.

A Leadership Lesson on time.

Fortunately or unfortunately Leadership is the only lesson learnt through experience.

I usually don't like to bullet my learnings and write paragraphs of content. But today I am forced to share few things

1. Think twice before you take Leadership. Reaching the top of the ladder is an easy task than staying there.
2. You need to be comfortable with change and be ready accept it as a form of Life. What is demanded is Flexiblity.
3. People aren't robots. They have emotions. Each person is as unique as his/her fingerprint. You need to know how to tackle different people at the same time.
4. Once you are in there is no backing out. 

5. Uncertainties will knock your door every morning. You should be ready to welcome it with a tea.
6. Commitments is what will strengthen your team. Stick to them. Don't break them. They will cost you more than money.
7. Stepping up is a compulsion for people staring at the footstep to look up to you.
8. Every second of your time  must be utilized. People are watching!
9. A display of zeal and ardor is a compulsion. The virus called callousness is bound to grow otherwise.
10. The consensus of the people involved is very important for any work that is compelled on someone will just bring him back on the day the idea fails as he would be the first person to remind you his dis-appreciation of it.  

What's Happening!

Social media has not just amassed people from different parts of the World, it has also given birth to what is known as the new democracy. What compels me to write this blog is the extensive increase in the publicized insight of people's life.

It was 10 in the night and I Log in to Facebook to see half of my newsfeed filled with checkins in Chinna Swami Stadium, Bangalore. You might wonder why. Well, There was a cricket Match. The IPL soars high.

All I could notice while I scrolled doen where updates, reactions, running e-commentary and expressions of people; Oooh, Aaah, Catch, Almost the end, Sitting at the end of the chair and a lot more.What made me wonder was the way the medium is being used. In one of the World there is man, who wins Elections,creating revolutions in Social Media whereas in other corner people are busy pouring out heart.

So Is Social Media transforming into a pour out room. Only Time can answer. A quick analysis can only misstep our beliefs. What is fascinating is to observe it's quaintness and the flurry of network that the medium brings along.

Pause! 

Jobs to Steve Jobs

With the current media revolving around the hype of Infosys falling down on it's share rate, the job holders are in a state of worry anesthetized with the very fact. The promises by Obama has just added the Indians residing in US, more worries with respect to their stake in their jobs.

60 % of the people throwing blames on the government. What is not understood is the Blind walk that people of the World have been driven into.

A lot can be ameliorated if one can just look into himself than looking out for opportunities, for it is there lies a deep well of unconquered potential. What differentiates leaders and followers is the fact that leaders look into themselves while the followers look up to others. It is what made Steve Jobs the Man who was looked upon.

If one can just conciliate oneself and explore the pool of opportunities, he can dive into a pool of possibilities.
If you want to discover yourself and conquer your self, explore the diversity, study the World, try out a thousand, work on a hundred, focus on 5 and master a select.

Lincoln: What a man, What a movie!

I have long been waiting for this day when I my fingers would be accept to type what my heart had felt.
I have no passion in learning World history in detail but yes I have a special corner in my heart that gets excited at the hear of any Man of action.

Lincoln did steal away a part of my heart as well that is making me write this blog.

"With malice toward none, with charity for all, with firmness in the right as God gives us to see the right, let us strive on to finish the work we are in, to bind up the nation's wounds, to care for him who shall have borne the battle and for his widow and his orphan, to do all which may achieve and cherish a just and lasting peace among ourselves and with all nations" spoke Lincoln and I had goosebumps.


I's not about the Words spoken, it's not about the power, it's not about the people but the Leadership, commitment and action that gets you the love, respect and place in the hearts of millions. Mary Todd Lincoln iterates "No one is loved as much as you by the people."

With power comes responsiblliy. What gets you the power is Leadership. What brings in Leadership is your actions. What brings in actions is realization. Realizations happen when you are ready to create something big.

It's when you're ready, things come to you.

Lincoln was a Maverick. A Man of Action. 

Where are we heading!

My heart skipped a beat when the eyes could not believe what it saw. It was the trailer video of the iPhone 5. Food, Gadgets and Clothes rank highest in my priority list in the same order. Every time I see something new in these categories,  I always tell myself there will be day when I shall buy all that I want.

At the same time, my heart does palpitate when I read about the depleting ozone layer, the Antarctic melt, the sudden hurricane and the rising levels of Water. I try to cajole myself to think positive and be optimistic and not to be held in the Web of Worries. Worse, more news start pouring in.

I wonder what motivates people to perform day after day. Are the alarming signs of the earth growing worse not visible to any. The deft engineers, the astounding scientists, the dexterous entrepreneurs. No one seems to be bothered.

Ignorance is the canker to the nations of the World. The earth has been baited time and again and it's resources decanted. But man continues to follow his greed.

Someone has truly said, it is when the last man is left on earth when mankind will understand the value of being on this planet.
