Ken Blanchard's another nice quick read! Ken starts as an idea to make organizations take the Fortune 500 journey. He also nicely weaves a CEO's story, whole narrating the Managing By Values (MBV) process. Let us glance at some excerpts from his writing. Three acts of life are 1.Acheive 2.Connect 3. IntegrateAcheive is a natural act for a human being, it is all about being-by-doingConnect is

You know every body talks about the change, every organization, person wants to change. But some times change is hard, we use influential methods to fuel the change. But lot times we fail, when change is not accomplished in time, I mean accelerating,  increasing the speed, with a sense of urgency. John Kotter's book published from Harvard Business Review Press, talks about four tactics to

Mahābhūta is Sanskrit and Pāli for "great element."In Buddhism, the "four great elements" (Pali: cattāro mahābhūtāni) are Earth, water, fire and air. Hinduism adds a fifth "great" or "gross" element: ether or Akash or Space. These  resonate in Babylonian, Japanese, Chinese, Tibetan  and Medieval alchemy in cultures and its preachings. -Source Wiki. Well all these religions state that

Another good book read by me written by Heath brothers on how to change when change is hard. The analogy used in this book with RIDER and ELEPHANT  strikes well with the subject. Rider is more rational and elephant is more to do with emotional aspects of the change. Both needed to make the change, as rider presents analysis of the data and elephant provides the energy to execute the change

"The fastest way to success is to double your failure rate" -Said by IBM's Thomas Watson Sr. "Failure is the stepping stone for success" - an old saying... " We reward failures and great leaders accept their mistakes openly "- said by Jack Welch in one of his key note...

Once again my fav author Ken Blanchard enthralls in his book called " The One Minute Apology" with his simple style and good companion to his earlier book "One Minute Manager". He waves a young man (EA to CEO) story to convey the secrets behind the apology and tells us how he saved his boss and his company.The toughest part of apologizing is realizing and admitting that you were wrong, Ken

"Effectiveness of spoken word", say Ralph and Leonard in Harvard business review, "hings not on how people talk, but mostly on how people listen".I attend lot of meetings and find generally people lack the listening skills, people start discussions even before a presenter makes his point.
