என்னைப்பற்றி.... சுவாரசியாமாயிருக்க... பார்க்கலாம்... விஜயசங்கர். Read about my thoughts in Tamil & English (some may call it ramblings).

It's a quick read.
A book you can finish in one sitting.
That's a useful criteria in reading books these days but, what's of even greater value, what makes me love a book is this:
when you can hear the author's voice and it resonates with you so well,
it makes you want to respond the way we use to respond to your Moral Science Teacher,
when I was a little boy: "One more Story Ma'am!"
Here's how David outlines "10.5 Reasons Why Even Top-Notch Executives Fail":
1. Absence Of A Clear Strategic Direction
2. Failure To Create A Sense Of Ownership
3. Absence Of A Comprehensive Goals Program
4. Failure To Align The Goals Of Every Individual, Team, And Department To The Strategic Direction
5. Using An Inadequate Definition Of Leadership
6. Inability Or Unwillingness To Hear Bad News, Especially About Oneself
7. Failure To Develop And Use Measurements
8. Failure To Hire Or Retain The Right People
9. Failure To Facilitate Two-Way Communication
10. Failure To Empower Others
10.5. Unwillingness To Ask For Help
David's reasoning within each of these 10.5 topics is enough to inspire me to become a better,
more effective executive within my venture and job and within the professional discussions in groups.
I encourage you to read - and MASTER - David Herdlinger's "10.5 Reasons Why Even Top-Notch Executives Fail"
One reading of it is already making me feel better about being a better leader, both of my company and my discussion groups...

Here are some questions to ask yourself (!) you can use to improve your results!
Achieve whatever you want!
Pick up a journal, set aside a few hours, and spend time with yourself answering these questions. Make it fun: treat yourself to a nice lunch or dinner at a restaurant you like, and write as you eat. By the time the check arrives, you'll have more than a few new ideas about how to change your life or business for the better.

Don't forget one thing, have fear in everything what you do. That keeps you going. There might be friends who belittle you, but don't worry. They are not going to help you, when you need something! Your Irony would be, even in the time of adversity, they would ask for Sweat Equity, for providing junk existing ideas, while keeping their kushy jobs, while cribbing to friends that they are in trouble always! Your family is not going to be taken care by anyone other than yourself. Never mind, they wouldn't bother to give your kids some chocolates, or toys, while you might do when you meet them.

உங்கள் நண்பரின் இணையதளத்தைப் பார்த்தேன். அவரது ஆர்வம் பாராட்டுக்குரியது. தொடக்க நிலை எழுத்து. எழுத்தின் சவால்களை அவர் எளிதாக எடுத்துக்கொள்ளாமல் தீவிரத்துடன் சந்திக்க வேன்டும் என்று வாழ்த்துகிறேன். அவரது தமிழ் அவருக்கு கைகொடுக்கும் என்ற நம்பிக்கை இந்த எழுத்துக்களில் இருந்து உருவாகிரது
