"Management Musings-3:
"The Diamonds are for ever.":
This Gudhi Padwa day, happened to be really turning point in my life because on this day at the Tea time, I got hold of my very old diary, which contained a Treasure of Management thoughts, that were written by me almost 15 years back. At that time, I used to read a number of management subject books by various top authors and had a regular practice to write down whatever understood, as an extract of the same.
Hence, a completely new Avenue got opened up for me for an interesting activity of sharing such as Management Musings with those who you are interested.
This is the third article in this series, which takes you to the Treasure of Diamonds & Gems of Great Management Thinkers.
