An international survey revealed that many people in our workforce do not believe that their education properly prepared them for working life. And, quite a few even have regrets about the direction that their job has taken them.

"How does one achieve success in a battle?

I believe that it is essential to understand that battles

are won primarily in the hearts of men. Men

respond to leadership in a most remarkable way.

Once you have won their hearts,

they will follow you anywhere."

Just praying and wishing that our leaders of tomorrow can put the peoples interest above their personal ambitions and self-interests.

Have A Great Day!!!

"Being part of a football team is no different than

being part of any other organisation - an army, or

a political party. The objective is to win,  to beat the

other guys. You think that is hard or cruel?  I don't

think it is. I do think it is a reality of life that men

business, the more competitive the men. They

know the rules, and they know the objective, and

they get in the game. And the objective is to win -

fairly, squarely, decently, by the rules, but to win."

Just imagine, football without rules would be an athletic riot.

"If you treat a man as he is, he will remain as he is;

but if you treat him as he were what he ought to be,

he will become what he ought to be and could be" 

- Goethe.

What a manager expects of his subordinates and how he treats them will largely determine their performance and career progress. When employees are expected to do little, they tend to do little. But, when they are expected to do much, they tend to fullfill that prophecy.

One characteristic of effective managers is they have the ability to communicate high performance expectations to subordinates that, more often than not, are fullfilled.

Besides, effective managers always establish clear standards (objective and not vague, subjective judgements) of performance and set standards of excellence.
