Inspiration For Peak Performance

Managers and Leaders are totally different in character and business contribution. Managers have subordinates, leaders have followers. Managers dictate to others what needs to be done, leaders influence others to get things done by also doing. You can’t lead if you are not part of the team; right in the front and doing what you want others to do. If you say “don’t deliver late on assignments”, you should also be seen to be doing same. A manager solves ‘closed problem’: how do we get to ‘Z’ from ‘A’ as efficiently as possible? So, he knows just one view point; how to get to ‘Z’ and act. A leader will define point ‘Z’ and connect as well as convince others to see ‘Z’ the same way he does. That’s an ‘open problem’. Leaders share perspectives from multiple windows. Some are born leaders but most leaders are made. So you can make yourself one. Now that you are on the track to becoming an ‘expert’, there is a necessary transition that must occur for your ‘expertise’ to transla...

You don’t have to be a victim of the past. Whether to live in the past or in the present is a choice we all have to make. When you live in the past, you: ·          blame other people and circumstances for your situation at work ·          avoid taking personal responsibility for career success ·          encourage yourself to feel sorry for yourself and ·          persistently live with the victim’s mentality.

One of the ways to overcome your past is to consistently seek new knowledge. Knowledge gives you power to change your situation, fight new obstacles and make better decisions. Perhaps you might wonder why you ha...

The only thing you can control is your attitude towards life. Have you heard this statement before- “please let’s be realistic”? That is a statement from the lips of a pessimist. Give a pessimist a half-glass of water and he will tell you it is half-empty. An optimist will always see it as half-full! Attitude really can mean everything. For better or for worse, the way we see the world of work influences the way it appears to us. And things are going to always work for us based on whether we choose to generate a positive or negative energy. People with winning attitude possess endless opportunities to do better in the future, excel in their chosen field of endeavour and become the next potential success story. A winning attitude nurtures friendships and professional relationships and is not influenced by external factors but positive reactions from within. Authentic attitude is about making a choice to work and hope for the best while being ready to face the worst of odds. Th...
