The unfettered leadership?  The concept of leadership within an organisation is not unfettered with limitless possibilities. It is constrained & disciplined by the vision, mission & the ideology of the organisation.  The leadership cannot independently create its own vision ecosystem. Even if some innovators attempt at it this generally remains within the broader framework of the organizational core tolerance limits.  Let us take the example of commercial entities. Can the leadership go beyond the stated & endorsed boundaries of profit making?  It is far fetched option  It is far-fetched to even think that someone will transform commercial bodies into a non-profit humanitarian organisation & still get away with the successful leadership tag For that matter it is also not possible for a non-profit entity to start making huge profits through individual driven efforts & still claim the leadership tag for that leader  Both the scenarios w...

The alternative plan that we must know in organisational leadership  

What you Think is More Important Everybody thinks. Nobody can survive without thinking. Thinking is central to our existence.  But what we think decides our higher purposes in life Everybody gets some ideas which they think are unique. How many times we may have hit upon some brilliant ideas but which remained buried in our thoughts for the rest of our lives unimplemented But what separates great minds from the rest are the “ centrality of the thinking ” & “ groundings of their ideas ” out of the thinking The Successful Thinkers Successful thinkers put their ideas on the ground & believe me most of such ideas are simple in essence At the same time some brilliant ideas just remained thoughts because it was never implemented & tried Most of the successful startups are basically effective implementation of the simple ideas Your thinking can give mental prowess to you but the implementation of those thinking can give solutions to the many What is Thought Leadership  Th...

Time is Everything  The importance of time no one can refute. "Time Management" is an academic discourse in all the leading management books.  Perhaps this is the only asset that depreciates continuosly without any change. We also know the rate at which the "time" depreciates and how it goes away never to show even its shadow again Time is the only progressve equation that progressess lineraly and never looks backward. Time never forms a cycle and it moves like a single straight line which has no end. Infinity, time & death are all linked together in the mystic mathemetical equation called life. The Poet Message on Time Management  Omar Khayyam talks about the importance of the present & living in the moment. It means that time can only be controlled by making our moments or the present beautiful & happy. That can be our only link to the future. Do not despair too much for things you can't control. Control the things that you can control and control ...

He was an unknown Writer  He was not known outside his friends circle. He was a writer but his works no one knew. He wrote dramas that failed miserably to glow  He decided to migrate to the oriental literature & try his fate again. The persian poet Jami became his subject of research. From this love affair came out the English translations of Jami’s Salman & Absal to the world  This too further sealed his fate towards the oblivion unknown.  He never gave up Hope  But he never gave up hope. He decided to translate the Persian Quatrains of Omar Khayyam & spread the fragrance of poetic wisdom to the world  Thus came out one of the most famous translations of the Persian poetry ever. This work too did not generate the initial fame  But slowly it became the talk of English literary world Yes, I am talking about Edward FitzGerald and his magnum opus translation “The Rubaiyat of Omar Khayyam”  The rare Thought Leadership  There are rare ...

The Moon & the Water  Some news does catch your eyes. Just yesterday it was announced by the scientific community that they have discovered water molecules on the moon  Though it is a great piece of discovery but not very surprising after all. This fact was waiting to be discovered for we have been trying to find traces of water on the moon for decades. It was just a matter of when  Light is Civilization  Water is actually the synonym of life for humanity. Where there is water there is life & there evolves civilization.  But to me the most surprising aspect of the discovery was something else. It was the particular region on the moon on which the water traces were discovered that fascinated me The water traces were discovered on the sunlit portion of the moon. This has a huge metaphorical significance if we can think beyond the obvious  Thought Leadership is showing Light in Darkness  Anything that is lit has life just like the sunlit porti...

The 4.5 Billion Year Old Stranger  The journey of 200 million miles. The journey to meet a stranger whose age is 4.5 billion years old. The same age as our Earth Imagine waiting for 3 years for the messenger to come & deliver the message from the stranger. Envisage the efforts that will go in to decipher the encrypted message & understand the mind of the old stranger  And the message is nothing but 60 grams of dust, dirt & few pebbles  Then you realise the fact that the messenger after delivering the message will go into the oblivion never to be seen again  Apparently it would look simply outrageous to undertake such a long long journey for just dirts, dusts & pebbles  Would you plan for such an arduous journey ever ? NASA Osirex-Rex & Bennu  Yes. I am talking about the expedition of NASA’s Osiris-Rex to asteroid Bennu to find the truth about our universe. The truth that would also reveal us about our own human origins  Some...

Advices are  game changers   Sometimes some advice can be a game changer. It can establish as well as ruin the entire future prospects of the heeder more so particularly in the professional field  Generally such important advice is sought from experienced & professional people who have spent years in that profession. We do not seek such seasoned advice from a teenager more so if he has no knowledge of that field  Nizami took the Risk  But this is exactly what Nizami Ganjavi the 12th century AD Persian poet did when he was offered a professional literary task. Nizami was an accomplished literary figure  He was offered the project to write the famous Arabic love story of Laila-Majnu for the Persian readers. His advisors bluntly told him that a sad love story of a commoner would not attract readers. Further this would besmirch his philosophical poet image  Nizami was confused. He sought the final advice from his wife & his teenage son. They bo...

Your Some Truths will get demolished someday  Suppose truths which we have been born believing into suddenly get questioned. How do we react ? Our responses to our own credible doubts are our first test of impartiality It is a commonly held belief that the Greeks taught the world the finer elements of Mathematics including Trigonometry. Hipparchus (100 B.C) is regarded as father of Trigonometry Plimpton 322 But the Babylonian Tablet Plimpton 322 recently decoded tells a different story altogether. This Tablet precedes Hipparchus by over 1500 years  Plimpton 322 reveals that the Babylonian were already using Trigonometry based on the sexagesimal system unlike the decimal system later used by the Greeks  Then who is the father of Trigonometry ?  Learn the Lessons  There are many lessons to learn from this factual observations.  Our worldly truths are like the truths of the Cosmos. Always changing & perpetually surprising  Never ever fixate your mi...

The Uniformity in Digital World  The European Union(EU) wants to create a common charger for all the phones. It wants complete uniformity in electronic accessories The EU wants to reduce the electronic waste due to diversity in the phone chargers The similar efforts in 2009 failed due to interoperability between devices But in Technology the uniformity ultimately gets achieved for the ease of doing business Diversity is Humanity  But imagine creating similar controlled uniformity in human thoughts, ideas, ideology, perceptions etc in our existence It would be a Herculean disaster in the leadership of Ideas What looks as absolute necessity when we deal with Natural Sciences looks totally unscientific when we interact with the Social Sciences We as the people must know that there are worlds existing within the world. There are mini universes being born & breathing within the same universe Let me tell you the greatest Thumb Rule of human existence “ Uniformity is a blessing ...

The Wrong Headlines  We often hear such news that Mr X has become the richest person in the world. His wealth has doubled or increased phenomenally in percentage points. We also get to hear news that such & such people are the 7th or 8th richest person in the world.  But I am sure that never we have come across any news which says that X Numbers of people with the following names have become rich from being poor. Or entered the upper middle class from the lower middle class  The Economic Collectivism  Why is that in matters of culture, tradition & society we celebrate collectivism but when it comes to economics we always tend to sing praise of individualism. Why can't we celebrate collectivism in economics as we do with individuals  Why the list of billionaires is considered such a matter of pride but we hardly feel demand for the list or the numbers of ordinary people who transitioned into economic prosperity. Or is it that such list is hardly availab...
