“Management Musings-15”:
“Horizons
of Progress and Self Development”:
Preamble
After the turbulent years of economic
slowdown, prices of almost every other thing on the rise with petroleum
products at its highest ever price levels, severely ailing farm sector, demand
crunch it’s side effects are bound to affect adversely and we are witnessing
tough and difficult times. Cost cutting, job cuts, production slow down, cash
crunch, low demand have become the order of the day. Therefore, we must have
continuous improvement, when the change is the only constant and that change is
always uncertain, environment is dynamic.
Therefore, in today’s testing times,
what’s important and that shall make the difference in the present
day cut-throat competitive environment is the way you Think, Look at
the things, Reflect on them and Respond. In that context, I was
going thru’ my old data files;
therein I could locate a treasure of guiding principles regarding important
issues like Health, Personality, Society and Life.
These four issues therefore carry a
great meaning to form & nurture one’s inborn potential. I have attempted
here to share them with my own reflection & response. Therefore, in this
series of articles on my blog are regarding Horizons of Progress and Self
Development, it’s apt to go through and assimilate the Treasure of inputs that
follow. The sole and whole purpose of this specially written article series is
to provide oneself with a Treasure of Knowledge Bank and imbibe soft skills to
meet the emerging challenges. I am sure my humble effort would be welcome and
appreciated, assimilated.

15.Last but the most important: Remember these
‘Mantras’ the Guiding Principles for achieving the Best of your potential:
‘ASK’
Mantra: A=Attitude, S=Skills, K=knowledge. Like in 20-20 cricket,
it’s the ‘ASK'ing rate’ of every individual in an organization would play a
winning game. For that that these 3 attributes need to be regularly assessed
and improved.
‘CMS’ Mantra: C=See, M=Aim S=shoot to
succeed. This mantra follows the principle of Arjuna in the epic Mahabharata,
when he was just seeing the eye of the fish and nothing else; no wonder he won.
Therefore in every way CMS Mantra is a Winning Mantra First See the Aim and
then shoot to succeed.
‘SMT’ Mantra: S=Strategy, M=Management,
T=Technology and Technique. In every walk of Life, Strategy-the Road
map of your behavior drives you through the chosen path. It’s one’s Management
skill that uses the resources with help of Technology and Technique to reach
the Desired Destination.
‘AIDCA’ Mantra; A=Awareness,
I=Interest, D=Desire, C=Conviction, A=Action. This famous principle takes care
of Marketing and Promotion in that order. First create Awareness about what
you, your company and your Products/Services are, then generate Interest of
your Target Audience into them with a view to
satisfy their Need-the Desire; convince
them with the practical Examples, to finally Ensure the Action most wanted from
TA the Buying action.
‘POETRY’ Mantra: P=Planning O=Organizing
E=Executing, T=Technology and Technique, R=Reviewing, Y=You.
I am sure in a similar thought process
you would understand
‘The Four ‘I’’s Mantra: I=Ideas,
I=Intention, I=Initiative, I=implementation.
‘Five ‘D’s Mantra: D=’ Dream,
D=Dedication, D=Determination, D=Discipline and D=Discipline.
And finally,
‘GOD’ Mantra: G=Good, O=Opinion.
D=Destination

under the age of 6!
5.Try to make at least three people smile each day.
6.What other people think of you is none of your
business.
7.Your job won't take care of you when you are sick.
Your friends will. Stay in touch.
4. Life

2.Get rid of anything that isn't useful, beautiful or
joyful.

up.
6.The best is yet to come.
7.When you awake alive in the morning, thank GOD for
it.
8.Your Inner most is always happy. So, be happy.
Finally, Few thoughts that can change your life!!!
If you have a bad day at work, be
thankful. Appreciate that you have a job. Some people don't have it.
When you pay your bills, be thankful.
You can pay them.
If you see a gray hair, be thankful.
Think of the cancer patient in chemotherapy who only wishes for any hair.
When you find yourself waiting in
line or the recipient of poor service, be thankful. Think about the people who
have no food to eat at all.
When you realize how much work it is
to take care of a house, be thankful you have a house. Think about those who
only wish they had a house to take care of.
When you feel like complaining
because you have to walk a long distance from your car, be thankful. Think of
what it would be like not to be able to walk!
If you get irritated by other
people's anger, apathy, ignorance, bitterness, or insecurities, be thankful.
Things could be worse. You could be one of them! When you think everything in
your world is terrible, and you want to give up, think of the people who have
been told they only have a certain amount of time to live. They don't want to
give up.
Live life to its fullest. Appreciate
life.
All
The Very Best.
Thanks
