"Management Musings-2":
"The Empires of Mind":
First, A Happy Gudhi Padwa and my best wishes for the New Year.
As luck would have it, on the morning Tea Time of that day, I happened to
go through the last few pages from my old note book of around 15 years ago, wherein I used to write significant extracts from various books on Management, read by me then. Therein were the notes from a book aptly titled:
'The Empires of Mind', written by Denis Waitly.
For your benifit, I am sharing very useful inputs from the same here:
# Global competition makes yesterday's World Records, today's entry level requirements.
# You must welcome change as the rule but not as a your ruler.
# The source of power has shifted from capital resources to human resources, from natural resources to the knowledge resources, from position status to relationship process, from share owner clout to customer clout.
# Some of us are doing the right things at wrong time, some are doing wrong things, all the time!
# Throughout our lives, we use only a fraction of our thinking ability.
# You must continue to gain expertise but avoid thinking like an expert.
# Lifelong learning, once a luxury for the few, has become vital and almost essential for continued success.
# You must accept responsibility for your actions but not the credit for your achievements.
# Case after case has demonstrated that responsible self-control leads to sound mental health.
# Have willingness to work hard today for a better tomorrow and for the sake of tomorrow's better rewards.
# So far, we have been dealing with the symptoms, the Secret is changing the cause.
# Reading, writing, arithmetic and responsibilities are the most important 4 'R's, today.
# You must stick to your convictions but be ready to abandon your assumptions.
# Conventional wisdom is nothing more than consensus of opinion, until someone replaces it with something better.
# Management by command and control is the thing of the past, it's now time for empowering others.
# My rewards in life will reflect, my service and contribution.
# If you really want to do your best, you must continuously re-examine what you need for that and what you have to offer.
# Learning about something is a far cry, from actually doing.
# Life is like a field of newly fallen snow, where I choose to walk, every step will show.
# You must consider the bottom line but make the integrity before profit.
# You must view performance as reflection of value but not a measure of it.
# Sense of belonging, individual identity, worthyness, control & competance are the four senses, one has to be concerned about.
# You must feel worthy of the best but not more worthy than the rest.
# The Diamond is within us, waiting to be discovered and shaped and polished.
# The trendsetting organisations are open to new ideas and committed to giving their employees latitude to make decisions.
# You must fulfill your expectations but they may not be, what you want.
# Chase your passion, not your pension.
# You must get money to chase you, but never let it catch you.
# The passion of knowing what you want to do and where you want to go puts you, halfway down the road to the Empire in your mind.
# You must look within for value but must look beyond perspective.
# You must participate in person but lead invisibly.
# Nothing can really substitute job satisfaction, the prime motivator of employee loyalty and performance.
# You must yield authority but gain strength in the process.
# If you don't tolerate experimentation, you avoid two things-failure and success.
Thank you
