What will determine your success or failure ?
The answer to three questions will determine your
  success or failure :

  1. Can people trust me to do my best?
  2. Am I committed to the task at hand?
  3. Do I care about other people and show it?

“If the answers to these questions are YES,”


       “ there is no way you can fail”
HOW ARE YOU ?
Who wants to be Successful ?
How quickly you will hit your Target !

• Name the Top 10 HR professionals according to you in
  India ?

• Name 5 most influential HR professionals in your life
  who have made or will make a difference?

          Note – Keep above lists confidential with you; do not share with neighbor
Enlarge your vision !
Land and the farmer
I wish !
Four simple questions that accelerate the
achievement of your goals :

•   Why ?
•   Why not ?
•   Why not you ?
•   Why not now ?
The internet is the single most powerful force shaping our world.
It has also been the fastest-growing source of information in
history :

    – Radio took 38 years to reach 50
      million listeners.


    – Television took 13 years to
      reach 50 million households.



    – The internet took only 4 years to
      reach 50 million users in the
      United States

    – By the year 2012, there are
      nearly 3 billion Internet users
      worldwide.
How you understand world
•   If you cut off a spider‟s head, it dies. But if you cut off a starfish leg, it grows a
    new one, and that leg can grow into an entirely new starfish. Traditional top-
    down organizations are like spiders, but now starfish organizations are changing
    the face of business and the world.




•   The Starfish and the spider explores what happens when starfish takes on
    spiders (such as music industry v/s Napster, Kazaa and the p2p services that
    followed). It reveals how established companies and institutions are also
    learning how to incorporate starfish principles to achieve success.

•   Importance of catalyst who have an uncanny ability to bring people together

•   How the internet has become a breeding ground for leaderless organizations
How you understand world
• Not operational excellence or new business models, but
  management innovation-new ways of mobilizing talent, allocating
  resources, and building strategies.

• Over the past century, breakthroughs in the “technology of
  management” have enabled a few companies-including
  GE, P&G, Toyota & Visa-to cross new performance thresholds and
  build long-term advantages. Yet most of the companies lack a
  disciplined process for radical management innovation.

• The current management model-centered on control and efficiency-
  no longer suffices in a world where adaptability and creativity drive
  business success.

 in the year 1958 v/s 1998

  » Only 75 companies existed on the list


  »425 companies vanished, were made
    history, Merged, Pushed-off by companies with more
    creative management

  » According to Forbes Fast forward in the year 2020;
    there will be NEW 375 companies on this LIST…
