Dear Friends
September is here and we wonder where this year has gone by. Life is a
perpetual merry-go-round and we do not get a moment of repose. Within this
exhilarating roller coaster of a life we have to find time to reassess and
reevaluate our values. Are my actions in coordination with my deep core
ethics? Because, if they are not, I will keep feeling an inner anxiety for
which I will have no rationale.
Time for talk and half measures is over. It is time to take charge of your
life. So please take a printout of this email and read it ever so
frequently. Concentrate on each of these points and apply them CONSCIOUSLY
in your personal and professional life.
Action
Point No. 1:
Challenge your own perception and assumptions (not others)
Action
Point No. 2:
Grow ‘extreme empathy’ for people in your personal life and at work. (even
for people who are strangers)
Action
Point No. 3:
Communicate with others as you would like to be communicated with. (Time to
re-collect your basic manners which your elders passed on to you when you
were very young).
Action
Point No. 4:
Develop unconditional love for everybody around you (even strangers).
Action
Point No. 5:
Establish permanently in your habit, the skill of setting and getting goals.
Weekly targets will polish your goal setting power after 8-15 weeks.
Remember innovation (new ideas/ new dreams) will be a key factor in setting
your goals.
Action
Point No. 6:
Work at your organization as if it was your own company (with FAITH).
Support your team leaders.
Action
Point No. 7:
Develop an exercise plan (start with 2/3 times a week) and WATCH what you
eat. Also make sure you get 6/7 hours sleep every day.
Action
Point No. 8:
Declare war against demotivation and misery.
Action
Point No. 9:
Truly Believe in yourself.
Zaufyshan and I wish you all “best of efforts” in embarking on these nine
points.
Lots of love and positive energy comes to you with this email. Hope you
would benefit from this. Look forward to your
comments/ suggestions…. to help us improve ourselves

Idea
of the Month: Commit Yourself |
"The moment you commit and quit holding back, all sorts of
unforeseen incidents, meetings and material assistance will rise up
to help you. The simple act of commitment is a powerful magnet for
help!"

Case of the Month:Results
of Systemic Management |
Why should even blue collar workers act in a self-responsible manner and
participate in the decision process on their work and their working
environment? The answer is simple: because only then they identify
themselves with the decision to be taken. Good assembly- line workers know
the shortest work procedures and the little "snags" of their machines much
better than their supervisors who – in a hierarchically-oriented company -
often have the responsibility over the whole machine park. Each individual
employee of a company is able to think like a businessperson. All it takes
is asking them to ...

Why CEOs Fail -
A
Leadership Principle
(article) |
In recent years, leaders at such high-profile companies as Xerox,
Procter & Gamble, Lucent, Coca-Cola and Mattel have flamed out early in
their tenures. Why did such promising and previously successful individuals
fail so quickly in the CEO role? And why is such failure happening today
with relatively high frequency?
What got Eckhard Pfeiffer fired? What fault did in Bob Allen? Or Gil Amelio,
Bob Stempel, John Akers, or any of the dozens of other chief executives who
took public pratfalls in this unforgiving decade? Suppose what brought down
all these powerful and undeniably talented executives was just one common
failing? It's an intriguing question and one of deep importance not just to
CEOs and their boards, but also to investors, customers, suppliers, alliance
partners, employees, and the many others who suffer when the top man
stumbles. The answer ...

Strategic Planning—Why Not?
(article) |
Many scientists and technologists don't like the notion of planning for
their personal future. I can appreciate that they don't feel they have the
time, or they think everything is changing too fast to warrant the effort.
Some people are so successful right now that there's "no need to plan;"
others are in crisis and can't take the time to think long-term.
Each of these arguments has some merit, but when you look at the benefits of
establishing a personal strategic plan, you might change your mind.
Strategic planning is a long-range effort to determine where you are going.
Do you see yourself moving into non-technical areas in the company? Do you
want to remain in your organization until retirement?...

Corporate
Survival in a Diverse Culture (article) |
Once you get your arms around your corporate culture,
there's one more area that you have to learn to better understand
the games and power plays within a corporation. This next level
involves understanding the larger groups and individual types of
people that live and work within the environment.
Whether well-intentioned or confrontational, coworkers are seen as
the number one stress-inducing factor on the job. Unlike your
private life, you can't always choose the people with whom you spend
the majority of each working day. Learning how to deal with
coworkers can reduce your stress, establish you as ...

Self
Esteem vs. Self Compromise ?(article) |
Seeking the approval of others -- in the hope of measuring the worth of
ourselves -- makes as much sense as looking for our reflection in a falling
drop of rain, with the main difference being this: A raindrop actually lasts
longer than does that fleeting sense of self we win for having sold our soul
for another empty smile.
Looking for ourselves in the eyes of others throws us behind the walls of a
psychic prison. The door slams shut each time we find ourselves feeling good
about ourselves simply because someone has given us a needed nod of
approval. Let's investigate this strange sequence ...
