Achieve goals by becoming a self leader

Every one aspires to be a leader, and achieve heights. Here is tool to help us realizing our dreams, a book titled Self leadership and the one minute manager.

Leadership can't be taught any better than the story presented in this book, grab this book for your betterment (this looks like the gist). Simple, elegant narration makes it a good read, the volume of the book makes us more interested in finishing it in a single go.

The Key points for me are

- People are not mind readers, so don't assume things and ask for what you want or convey how you feel (i.e challenge assume constraints)

- Become empowered by making use of points of power (relationship, task, personal, and knowledge etc)

- At every state, based on your competence and commitment, seek direction or support to get things done. Such a practice should make us a self leader

- Any one who can provide us the required support, or direction is a leader

- Never turn away from responsibilities

- Measure your competence and commitment at every stage, seek what you need to proceed

- Collaborate with people for fruitful results

- Make better use of the most powerful sentence in English I NEED

Height of time passing



TV channels can degrade to any level :-) though it looks funny, reflects how they are thinking (treating) about the viewers..

I couldn't recall who's wisdom, but said "Front page of a news paper is sufficient to cover the days NEWS from around the world (i.e news are rare)

Then we have TV channels competing to cook news out of anything (or should we say trying to re-define the meaning of news?). I simply hate the current set of private news channels....
