Leadership is Action, not a position



Leader is a person who triggers and can't be defined as a person who initiates. A large part of being a student is to become a leader. Many strive hard to achieve that and fails. We often define a leader as a guiding individual who is first to initiate an idea or a movement.

This video by TED Talks presents an alternative definition of leadership. In the video, the man begins to dance in front of a crowd. Soon, a second person joins and starts a chain reaction, with others doing the same. In many cases it is the first dancer who is considered as a leader because he starts the movement. However, the video shines light on the second dancer, and he is who transforms a single nut into a leader in the eyes of the public.

Many of us are in a mad rush to be first, but we rarely stop to think if this is the right decision to make, as a leader. It is not always in the chronological order of the events that define a leader. But it is the effect of a person in the crowd that turns the individual into a leader. Think.......... !

Sales vs Marketing

Sales and marketing are closely interlinked and are aimed at increasing revenue. As sales and marketing are closely intertwined, it becomes hard to realise the difference between the two. In small firms, one cannot come across much difference between sales and marketing. But bigger firms have made clear distinction between marketing and sales and they have specialised people handling them independently. Well, how is that sales and marketing are different? In very simple words, sales can be termed as a process which focuses or targets on individuals or small groups. Marketing on the other hand targets a larger group or the general public. Marketing includes research (identifying needs of the customer), development of products (producing innovative products) and promoting the product (through advertisements) and create awareness about the product among the consumers. As such marketing means generating leads or prospects. Once the product is out in the market, it is the task of t...

Life Is Too Short To Wake Up With Regrets! Love the people who treat you right & have compassion for the ones who don't.

Dr. APJ Abdul Kalam : "When I was a kid, my Mom cooked food for us. One night in particular when she had made dinner after a long hard day's work, Mom placed a plate of 'subzi' and extremely burnt roti in front of my Dad. I was waiting to see if anyone noticed the burnt roti. But Dad just ate his roti and asked me how was my day at school. I don't remember what I told him that night, but I do remember I heard Mom apologising to Dad for the burnt roti. And I'll never forget what he said: "Honey, I love burnt roti." Later that night, I went to kiss Daddy, good night & I asked him if he really liked his roti burnt. He wrapped me in his arms & said: "Your momma put in a long hard day at work today and she was really tired. And besides... A burnt roti never hurts anyone but HARSH WORDS DO!" "You know beta - life is full of imperfect things... & imperfect people... I'M NOT THE BEST & AM HARDLY GOOD ...

RELATIONSHIP

Just moving to a sentimental context  "Relationship" Relationship is a board term that has different facets in the world of life. It is the flavour of the life that makes living so interesting. We all build up different relationships with each people right from our birth to death. Relationship with friends, parents, children, siblings, husband/wife, lover, in-laws, colleges, and employees are some of the common bonds that we all share in life. However, what is difficult to strike the right chord and build up a perfect rapport in all the relationships. Otherwise, we would find ourselves as the lone sole surviving in this planet without any social connections. It is sad but true that we often get to hear about failed relationships or sweet relationships or sweet relationships turned bitter. In the fast-paced life to success people often tend to forget about the essence of a loving relationship and end up hurting each other. Whom should we blame??????   :The people ...
