Some tips from Robin Sharma, regarding leadership qualities. The Eyes of Leadership The sad fact is that most people see the worst in others - they see them through the eyes of their own anger, fear and limitation. If someone shows up late for a meeting, they impute a negative intent on that person, saying "they are so rude". If someone makes a mistake on an expense report, they grumble "that person is so dishonest". If someone miscommunicates a point, they silently say "she's a liar". Leaders are different. They look for the best in people. I want to be clear. I'm not suggesting that leaders do not confront reality. Not at all. What I'm saying is that the best leaders see through the eyes of understanding. If someone is late, they try to get to the truth. Maybe there's a time management problem to coach around or a sick child to help. An error on an expense account could be the result of a poor process in place or the employee's di...

Estimated Tamil people between 230,000 to 300,000 have been trapped in the Vanni conflict zone, denied food and basic living essentials and facing continuous shelling and aerial bombing. No one is there to help the innocent civilians. The cry of infants, children and elderly are not heard by anyone in the world. Unfortunately, the truth of the matter is that no one knows how severe the crisis is because the Sri Lankan government has barred local and foreign media from reporting on the subject and severely limited the presence of humanitarian organizations. What is even more disconcerting is that the global mainstream media has largely ignored the Tamil civilian causalities, and has actually praised the Sri Lankan government for "running an effective military campaign." Acts of terrorism from any one are deplorable and cannot be tolerated by any human person; the killing of innocent civilians, under the guise of fighting terror is absolutely ind...

Dear Wiproite, My own successes and setbacks along the way have taught me some lessons. I wish to share them with you and hope you will find them useful.    Lesson #1: Be careful to ask what you want. You may get it.  What this means is that do not ask too little either of yourself or the others around you. What you ask is what you get. When I look back at the time when I joined Wipro, I was 21. If you ask me whether I thought that Wipro would grow so by someday, the honest answer is that I did not. But neither did I think it would not. We constantly stretched ourselves to higher and higher targets. Sometimes, it seemed possible, sometimes fanciful and sometimes plain insane. But we never stopped raising limits. And we got a lot more than what we bargained for.    Lesson # 2: Respond, don't react Always be aware of your em...
