Dear Friends
Vacation time is drawing near and we look at
the pile of files on our desks and offer a silent prayer, requesting
the divine powers to grant us exceptional strength to overcome this
Herculean task.
Do not feel guilty at looking forward to the holiday, as we all will
be working really hard to recharge our batteries, pump up the
creative stores and release all the trapped negative energy which
coerces us to lash out at our team members or family members
throughout the year.
It is the same destructive chi which keeps building stores
underneath a calm subterfuge of a very professional person of the
corporate world, yet malevolently transforms us to be ace
politicians, safe players with minimal risk taking, weak decision
makers and insecure with our livelihoods. A pretty bleak picture of
our daily lives. Well! Now the time has come to remedy that…..
To empty our minds of this ceaseless chatter we need to go away from
the concrete jungles into an actual green forest. The further away
from the city life it is, the more beneficial it will be. When we go
deep into the forests on a trail, the forest out there becomes the
very essence of our existence and the trail itself becomes a part of self-discovery;
with the backdrop of nature, all our senses are in complete harmony,
giving way to divine wisdom to encircle our physical plane bringing
about profound changes in our lives.
All the negative domination gives way to purified and cleansed soul,
providing the right perspective for our life ahead.
Wishing all our friends a happy, relaxing and rejuvenating holiday.
May you find the answers to all your queries amidst all the elements
of nature.
We appreciate and value your feedback so look forward to your
comments/ suggestions…. to help us
improve ourselves

Idea
of the Month: Associating Ideas |
 In The Society of Mind, Marvin Minsky writes:
"An idea with a single sense can lead you along only one track.
Then, if anything goes wrong, it just gets stuck- a thought that
sits in your mind with nowhere to go."
Connect any idea you have to other things you know, see to what this
inspires you. Not only will this give you different ways to go (so
if the first solution doesn't work, you can solve the problem
another way), but it may lead to other ideas, even richer than the
first you can up with.

Case of the Month:
Improving your perception about vision |
 Most people with university degrees wear glasses. It seems to be a fact of
live. The more you use your eyes, the worse they get. Now, is this really
so? Some compelling evidence that the truth may offer other options promoted
this subject to "case of the month".
Factors decreasing "good sight"
The theory above that your eyes get worse as you grow older dates from more
than 200 years ago. The "official line" is that you can't do anything about
it, except wear glasses, lenses or laser treatment. At the turn of the
century William H. Bates, a Medical Doctor, began to question this "official
line". Finding out ...

Your
Personal Strategic Plan (article) |
 Corporations do it. Entrepreneurs do it (well, some of them). Many
successful businesses develop a strategic plan to help them get clarity and
focus.
For years, I've been helping businesses develop their strategic plan. A few
years ago, it occurred to me that you could have a personal strategic plan
that would help you individually get clarity and focus on your own preferred
future.
The world has become a complicated place in which to live. The past few
decades have seen enormous, accelerating changes in: ...

Successful First Impressions
(article) |
 Imagine that a
photograph were taken of you every time you met another person during the
day. At the end of the day, put together a mental photo album of all of the
pictures-what I call your IC or Image Collection. Ask yourself what you
"see" with these questions: "Do I come across as articulate, persuasive, and
sure of myself? What happens when I meet someone new? And how trustworthy do
I appear?
Right now, stop and ask yourself these questions:

Creativity Thinking -
Make it a Habit (article) |
 There is something mysterious about creativity. We can describe it, admire
it, strive for it and experience it, but we can never understand just how or
why a certain innovative idea springs up at a particular time in the mind of
a particular individual. Indeed, most people never expect to understand or
master that process. Let's hope we do not, for our world would be far more
dreary if we ever fully harnessed the creative process and learned to
produce results only on schedule or on demand.
On the other hand, we can imagine a brighter future if we were able to
stimulate the creative process and produce more innovations. Can we, indeed,
take action to ....

Team
Leadership - The
Manager's role? (article) |
 There has been much made of the importance of teams in
the workplace. Whether you are implementing TQM, or just want to
increase effectiveness or employee morale, developing effective
cohesive teams is a good tactic. But teams ain't simple. We are
going to devote the PSM supplement to examining some principles
related to team-building with particular emphasis on the role of the
manager or supervisor.
What Is A Team?
Mark Sanborn, an expert on teams, outlines a few characteristics of
a team.
First, Sanborn defines a team as being composed of a highly
communicative group of people. Poor communication means no team.
Second, ...
