If only we all had a way to look at ourselves objectively... we would surely all be more effective and efficient.

How do we use this to take us forward ?  Here is my blog on the MAGIC MIRROR.  Read on...

Michael Porters's 5 Competitive Forces Model has been a favorite of those creating and teaching strategy.

To inspire thousands of youngsters to be not only excellent professionals but also successful entrepreneurs — that seems to be the life's mission of Subroto Bagchi, co-founder of MindTree.   Some selfish surgeons don't like to share all of their skills with their juniors in the fear they might become redundant.

If you shaved today, either in the U.S. or in India, you probably used a Gillette razor. Gillette (now a brand of P&G), reportedly has had a U.S. market share of more than 80%, with Schick a distant second. Even more remarkably, they achieved this without resorting to price competition.

A wonderful article from FORBES......We all know from personal experience that the right mix of personality types is essential for the success of a group, whether it’s a project team, a committee, a department or an entire organization. Some function smoothly, with good communication and everyone playing to his or her strengths, focusing on the task at hand.

When a prospective client makes contact to book an appointment, your initial reaction I am sure is to make yourself available to them anytime and as quickly as possible because you need more business. But just stop for one minute and think about what this is saying about you and your company… - If you can see them straight away then it implies that you haven’t got

    I was working for a major software company after I completed my graduation and when I decided to quit and start a company on my own, all I heard from everyone was "Why are you taking the risk?" I have replied to all those questions very heroically, but I must admit I did not understand the meaning of that question for a very long time.

Nice interview by Shankar Sharma on what he thinks about S&P downgrading India's rating. Not that Shankar Sharma's views will turn out right, but I always like to hear the way he interprets the market and his take on the economy.

I was on a trip to Delhi in January 2012 and was strolling casually in one of the book stores in the Bangalore Airport. Out of nowhere this book caught my eye. For the first time, I saw a book that was written specifically for B2B markets. I purchased the book “Strategic Brand Management For B2B Markets: A Road Map for Organizational Transformation”, written by Dr.

Robert Kiyosaki‘s Shooting the Sacred Cows of Money is an eye-opening mini-documentary that takes on our cultural myths about money and investing. This film also shows you how to move from the established mindset to the enlightened mindset about money. Robert and Kim Kiyosaki, joined by the Rich Dad Advisor Team, offer these videos to

In many organizations where service is identified as an area for improvement, the problem is not poor service from every department or person, it is inconsistent service in pockets of the organization. Poor service in one area brings down the perception of service levels in all areas. A classic example of poor service in the US is the Department of Motor

There are fewer sad things to observe than a once-great firm sliding into mediocrity. You might not be accustomed to hearing the word “sad” and “business” in the same sentence, but I really do find it sad when great startup firms lose their energy and eventually become lumbering giants. If you’re familiar with the legendary

Diplomacy is all about making the right choices. When I persuaded my wife, Carol Ann, to say "I do" ages ago, we entered serious negotiations to nail down the ground rules for our marriage. Then we hit on it. In our family, I would make all the major decisions, and she would make all the minor decisions!

“Did I make the right choice! Maybe I rushed into buying this dress…should have shopped a little more” aren’t we all familiar to this feeling! “Post shopping dissonance” is the term professional retailers use to describe this feeling we get after making a purchase.

So why all the

What is Entrepreneurship all about? When we think of Entrepreneurs we admire we think of Steve Jobs, Narayan Murthy and others, and think of the large corporations that they have created. We are mesmerized by the BIG organizations that they built.  However was Bigness the sole motivating factor for them?
