Learning about voting from Joseph Stalin

"One of the penalties for refusing to participate in politics is that you end up being governed by your inferiors." ~ Plato Contrary to public perception, successful politicians have to be incredibly hardworking. What they may be working hard on is another matter. Politics like war is a messy, ugly affair. Inspite of that, the public and the media draw a lot of entertainment from politics. It is certain that, one can always trust the political establishment with the help of t

What can Wolf packs teach us?

If one observes this photograph of a pack of wolves, it reveals a very interesting and powerful message. The first 3 are the old or sick, they give the pace to the entire pack. If it was the other way round, they would be left behind, losing contact with the pack. In case of an ambush they would be sacrificed. Then come 5 strong ones, the front line. In the center are the rest of the pack members, then the 5 strongest following. Last and alone, is the alpha male wolf. He cont

Way we see things

We often ask, why can't they see the obvious. What is obvious to us, is not necessarily obvious to others. A man is usually stretched between two women, both who who desire to monopolise him. The mother and the wife. The affection they have for the man is of different types, but yet he must belong to them both. Both women are right but not entirely. This is because we recognise things, events, relationships and experiences through the window and filter of our mind. We like to

The Boss is always right

It was in 1502 C.E. that the egotistic mayor of Florence (Italy), Piero Soderini was under great pressure. He had appointed a novice to work on a giant piece of beautiful marble to make a sculpture under his guidance. Typical of many bosses Soderini had overestimated his own capabilities and by drilling a big hole in the middle of the block of marble, Soderini and the novice had ruined it. Soderini had to find a solution, and finally commissioned Michelangelo to do a sculptu

Want to become World-Class?

Many people express a desire to be world-class . Delve a bit deeper and one can discover good intentions and a lot of rhetoric. My own experience might be helpful. What is World Class? Means an organisation or entity that delivers products and services superior to or equal to the best in its field of activity in the world. In 1985 the directors of purchase and quality of Bendix Corporation, a leading American company at that time, visited our manufacturing facilities. Impress

Never seek to blame others

The recent elections threw up interesting lessons, mostly on how not to respond to failure. To find lasting solutions and bounce back from a failure, its essential to attack problems not people. The easiest, but also the worst way for leaders to respond is, to blame others and find scapegoats. Blame may quench our anger, by hurting someone else for our failures, however it is almost always counterproductive. By distancing ourselves from the problem we eliminate the possibili
