Segregating Visionaries from Managers

Managers are everywhere !!!!

From multinational enterprises to as small groups as kid's class rooms, managers are the need of the hour and rightly so because they help to get the things done which ARE to be done. With effect of miraculous output caused by effective management, we are enriching them with more and more power and obviously more money which have lucarated many bright minds of world. More money comes with higher responsibilities which brings in whole lot of human factors into work. In all these human resource strategies we have integrated the role of visionaries and managers. We expect both from the same person but many times it becomes humanly impossible to justify both. It is the time when a manager part of the employee take over its visionary mind and he is more busy in optimizing the EXISTING resources/products rather discovering/inventing new counterparts. Thats when process gets staggered and though overall performance is on higher side but innovation is hindered.

The Lagoon Versus The Ocean

This story is from internet but i like it so have posted.......

One might have heared about the Great Barrier Reef, stretching some 1,800 miles from New Guinea to Australia. Tour guides regularly take visitors to view the reef. On one tour, a traveler asked the guide an interesting question."I noticed that the lagoon side of the reef looks pale and lifeless, while the ocean side is vibrant and colorful," the traveler observed. "Why is this?"The guide gave an interesting answer:"The coral around the lagoon side is in still water with no challenge for its survival. It dies early. The coral on the ocean side is constantly being tested by wind, waves, and storms -- surges of power. It has to fight for survival every day of its life.As it is challenged and tested, it changes and adapts. It grows healthy. It grows strong. And it reproduces."Then he added this telling note: "That's the way it is with every living organism."!!REFLECTIONThat's how it is with people. Challenged and tested, we come alive! Like coral pounded by the sea, we grow. Physical demands can cause us to grow stronger. Mental and emotional stress can produce tough-mindedness and resiliency.Spiritual testing can produce strength of character and faithfulness .So, when you are tested again and again with problems - physical, mental, emotional or spiritual, just tell yourself, "There I grow again!".Remember, A smooth sea never made a skilled mariner!!

Most Awaited Change....

Mr. Barrack Hussein Obama, the 44th president of United States of America, brings a new hope which traversed not only in USA but also all over the world.Born in Hawaii to a Keynian father and an American mother, he is the first African American to hold the office as well as the first US President born outside the United States. He has come out of Dark to the main stage with a promise of bright future. He sets an example in front of the world especially black people giving them a hope not to consider themselves inferior in any sense and teaching a lesson to all peoples, not to discriminate on basis of color and creed. He proves that ‘No Matter where you born, where you belong to, a strong mind set and bright ideas will make a way for you’.There is something very different about his candidature; he secured his seat not on basis of his party ideologies but on his own. His very straight forward way to deliver, ability to reflect, eagerness to face the challenges and handle the difficult situations have worked for him.His predecessor, George Bush handed over to Barack Obama, a ravaged economy and an injured national reputation. Currently, America is half sunk in a quagmire and is looking up to Obama as if he’s a pole to safety. In his first speech as president, he pinned point many of the challenges ahead. He, very beautifully, mentioned Islam and opened a new platform to talk to them and also mentioned that terrorism would be tackled seriously. About worsening economic conditions, he clearly mentioned that as time is bad it requires some strong policies to improve the condition.On the very first day in the office, Obama’s first order is for the military prosecutors in the Guantanamo Bay war crimes tribunals to halt, for a 120-days, all pending cases. He has started working on the challenges, he had mentioned in his speech.Let us all wait and watch whats his next steps to tackle economic conditions, terror, and again stabilize the situation

Individualism Vs Groupism

Indian society values the unity and harmony among people. Quite obviously, after all a unit performs much better than individuals. We value them more with our acceptance and trust. And mostly an individual who likes to remain conservative in non-performance situation is less preferred than groups. But we forget that society comprise both individuals and groups. Many great things have been achieved by people like Albert Einstein, Sachin Tendulkar etc. who happens to be individuals. Many people want to remain as individual not because of their arrogance but its just that their human nature demands isolation. So we should be as open towards individuals as for groups and dont jump to conclusions while judging them.
