Leadership? No Leadership?

http://www.hr.com/HRcom/index.cfm/WeeklyMag/1A673E1C-E479-482A-A5C653BC4E82BD8E?ost=wmFeature#middle

A longish interview with a thought leader; author of a book that talks about the 'myth of leadership' - Jeff. Food for thought. It would be fun to work with an organization that believes in the concept advocated by Jeff. I have this strong urge to work with an organization that has broken all the rules and is crazily innovative. Got to do so before I retire. (Maybe I should found such an org.! Wonder if I'll have anyone risking their lives with me! ;))

3,2,1...Go!

This blog would love to meet introspective, life-loving and enthusiastic folks and book lovers. If you are a Plum (PG Wodehouse)/ C&H (Calvin and Hobbes)/Swami Vivekananda/Ilayaraja fan, we may be one of a kind...!

I generally ponder over Life, Spirituality, Knowledge Management (KM) and 'Nonsense' . Creativity, Innovation, Leadership, Ethics, Branding & Advertising, Books, People, Learning, Education, Children, Music, Poetry, Pets, Birds, Paradoxes, Change Management, Travel, and Cartoons are some of the other topics I extend my thinking to frequently....

herE GOes......

I enjoy being creative. Creativity, to me, is the best thing in life...! And...my love for life and learning are two great intrinsic motivators.

I have wanted to be almost everything in the world - a detective, an astronaut, a teacher, a scientist, an architect...a leader...a director, a musician, a painter, a singer, an ornithologist - you name it! To cut a long story short, the only thing I did not want to be was a Doctor! :) But destiny wanted me to be a KM professional. And I love being one!

I have a passion for the paradoxes and mysteries of life! I enjoy and cherish dreaming of magnificient achievements...those that have the potential to make the world a better place to live in!

Some of my all-time favourite quotes

Problems exist only in the human mind - Anthony de Mello

Life is 10% what happens to you and 90% how you react to it!

Put your heart, mind, intellect and soul even into your smallest acts. This is the secret of success - Swami Sivananda

This above all; To thine own self be true - William Shakespeare

There are only two ways to live your life. One is as though nothing is a miracle. The other is as though everything is a miracle - Albert Einstein

"The faithful see the invisible, believe the incredible and then receive the impossible" - Anonymous
