Resolution & the Motivation Beyond this…
Most of you would have made a resolution on 1st January, isn’t it? Get a new job, go on that much-awaited vacation, spend more family time or oft-committed lose weight! And are you still at it? In my life, as in yours am sure, haven’t we all seen many who have forgotten or deviated from […]
A Fever which Motivates
A gripping fever which divides the world in a unique way. Humans from across boundaries gather in spirit under a flag foreign to them, yet united through love of a nation deep inside their hearts. Passion for a sport was fired by the boundaries of Lusail Stadium last evening. The reverberating love of 80,000 voices […]
Falling in Love with Brands
I’ve always believed in the saying “Legacy lives on”. Being a Bengali, the best example is possibly Tagore. What he left behind is as much a part of our lives today as was during his lifetime. Quite unknowingly, we imbibe and embrace Tagore in every shade of our emotions, our journey in life. 8th September […]
Battling the “Common Enemy”
I am relatively new to Africa. Kenya has been my home now for little under 3 years. While wildlife fascinates most of us, it’s rather amazing what they can teach us. The one I would like to mention today is the unbelievable symbiotic relation between zebras and the wildebeest in the Savanna bushlands. On our […]
When Unspoken Words work Magic
I learnt a key lesson in early 2020 when my son and I shifted to Nairobi to join my husband. My son, all of 9 years back then, became close friends with a 5 year old Chinese boy, Danny. Danny loved my boy and would call him Kho Kho (Chinese for brother). My son, Rishij, […]
Compassion amongst enemies?
If you haven’t yet seen Kevin Richardson’s videos and you are a wildlife lover, I strongly recommend you do so soon. He is the “Lion Whisperer” and pats lions much as I pet dogs. And the reciprocity is equal. The concept of fear is thwarted, while the feeling of awe is taken to a new […]
Will IPL media rights squeeze revenues of other media?
The new era of sports broadcasting is upon us, and I’m not surprised it’s been ushered in by cricket. The IPL media rights for the 2023-2027 period have been sold for a whooping Rs. 48,390 crores. The media rights were divided into four packages. Package A was for the TV rights in the India and […]
DRIVEN BY VALUE
“Products and services deliver fundamental elements of value that address four kinds of needs: functional, emotional, life changing and social impact. In general, the more elements provided, the greater customers’ loyalty and the higher the company’s sustained revenue growth” Customers evaluate a product or service by weighing its perceived value against the asking price. Though […]
Reorganizing Your Organization
Volatile market conditions may force you to reorganize your company. So, do you require a new structure or must you tweak the existing one?When organizations have to reorganize, leaders are left weighing options large and small. Often conflicting advice and opinions leave them grappling with questions of whether or not to reorganize, and if they […]
International Firefighters’ Day (IFFD)
International Firefighters’ Day (IFFD) is observed on May 4. It was instituted after a proposal was emailed out across the world on January 4, 1999 due to the deaths of five firefighters in tragic circumstances in a bushfire in Australia. On December 2, 1998, a tragic event shook the Linton Community, Australia and the world. Firefighters in Linton, Australia, a […]
Questions Change Agents Must Ask Themselves
Hard times best test and bring out the mettle of a leader. While true leaders rise to the task, conviction of the ‘lesser’ leaders wobble as organizational performance fluctuates and they find themselves inadequate in dealing with crises. It’s not unusual to feel the jitters when there is little control over industry behavior and market […]
CREATING A CULTURE OF EXCELLENCE
Strategy matters – sure. But without a winning culture to drive it forward, your strategy’s taking you nowhere. An organization that excels without is strongly held from within. Its success is an outcome of strong leadership and employee efforts that do the right thing at the right time, instead of opting for what is easy […]
