AtoZ of Leadership Readiness

Leadership has its own ABC; that is different from the normal ABC. It is not as simple as the letter seems to be, it has a complete depth a new world to explore.

Then in the context of leadership we have tried explaining those words or abilities that leaders posses.

Decayed vs Developed Behaviour

A decade ago, I attended a course in Canada. An evening, a guest lecturer spoke to us on the characteristics of decayed nations vs those of developed nations. I do not recall her name or what she covered. I just remembered one thing from her talk: decayed nations live in the past and developed nations live in the future. Or may be in different words. It was my moment of discovery. Suddenly I could make sense why we still talked about 'Fall of Dhaka' and 'Why Pakistan came into being' while the developed world talked about the year 2050!

CFO Under Stress

  1. There's no actual stress or anxiety; it's our thoughts that create these false beliefs.
  2. You can't package stress, touch it, or see it. There are only us people engaged in stressful thinking.
  3. We speak of stress as if it is a combatant, attacker. It's not; it is the result of our body's response to our ego.
  4. It's about perception of worry/fear/threat, not the threat itself.

Great Training in 10 Days eBook

Have you ever wondered why some training courses that you have been to are more effective than others? And why are some trainers able to connect with you more than others? It's not coincidental; much of the success can be attributed to the preparation by the trainer in designing the course with attention to detail and his or her handling of individuals and groups during the course.
