NEWYEAR WISH LIST................

Dear All

Making resolutions for the new year is a neat trap . . . . ...........As you know you are going to break most of them, and feel terrible about it for the rest of the year!
Instead, suggest you, prepare a wish list. It is like a buffet spread-you can eat all or eat nothing-it depends on how hungry you are.
Here is a wish list which can provide the required magic to life. It is like a beautiful spread on a Sunday afternoon......

Starters: (pick any 2)
1. I will try to get up early (you can accomplish 30 % more during 5 am to 10 am)
2. I will exercise at least for 30 minutes 4 times a week (you have no choice on this)
3. I will meditate /pray/ visualize positive things/ do yoga for 30 minutes every day.

Main course (pick any 5)
1) I will invest in best clothes I can afford-along with good shoes (It has been proved, that better dressed people earn 15 % more-all things being equal)
2) Will outsource everything, which is not my core competence. (Won’t waste time on improving my weakness)
3) Will reduce my mobile bills by 30 %. (Mobile phones are the biggest time waster in India)
4)I will not call my employees on weekends or when they are on vacations. (They will respect me for that)
5) I will at least take one risky decision, which I was always scared to take. (I don’t want to die of boredom-do you?)
6) I will train my brain to think creatively every day. I will try to do different things to exercise my brain muscles- try new style color of clothes; go to new restaurants, visit zoo; listen to different music; visit toy shop to observe children buying toys,

Dessert (pick all)
1. I will take 2 vacations in a year.
2. I will devote at least one day (Sunday) for myself only. No business calls, no laptops. Does not matter, how big my business/position is.
3. I will smile at everyone I meet. (Even to the liftman/cabbie/peon)
4. I will laugh often.
5. I will watch one movie in a cinema hall every month (it is therapy for the soul)
6. I will read at least 2 books in a year.
7. I will do one thing, which I was always fearful about.
8. I will call two old friends, whom I have not spoken for years.
9. I will do one thing, which makes me truly happy.
10. I have got only 52 weekends. I will not let anybody spoil them.
Let the coming year be the best year of your life.
Let the force be with you and remain with you!!!!
To an amazing New Year 2016

My New Year message in the form of...................

Corporate advise to CEOs & Managers @ All levels.

Good Morning and wishing All CEOs and Managers @ all levels, an innovative,result oriented  and profitable 2016.

A TRUE CEO/Manager First of all should know how to prevent FAILURES...............Then learn and understand the art and science of......... how to Manage failures, if and when occurs........and thereby eliminate their customer dissatisfaction.....as the good old belief establishes that a dissatisfied customer will  continue to remain  as a bad symptom and sign  in the records of your company, while a satisfied will remain as good symptom and sign  and the former invariably happens as a result of your Company's FAILURES due to poor performance leading to poor results.

Failure is a strong word. Few corporate  CEOs/Managers would readily and really admit that their innovation programs have not been successful. An honest assessment, however, would reveal that in many companies, innovation succeeds only on sporadic occasions. In too many cases, innovation is nothing more than a management buzzword or slogan.........and no results are ever achieved.

It does no good to crib about the lack of results from corporate innovation concepts. It makes much more sense to study the causes of failure and how to overcome failure by initiating  corrective action.

There are only three basic reasons why corporate innovation fails......................... Not enough commitment and not enough use of best and ethical practices.......and  lack of adequate financial resources.

The Causes of Corporate Innovation Failure..........

Managed innovation is designed to arrive at effective solutions as quickly and inexpensively as possible. At the same time, managed innovation is not free of cost, and it does take time. When management does not invest enough resources to innovation, results will suffer......and ultimately FAIL.

Resources come in two forms, human and financial. Human resources are by far the most important. Employees must be assigned to innovate and then given the time to complete the task. Failure occurs when CEOs/ managers refuse to realise and to release their employees to work on innovation....and Financial resources as already mentioned earlier is, Company management's  responsibility  to invest.

Funding during a First-class innovation initiative may be required for effective customer services, as the customers pay for it and in many a cases well in advance as per company's corporate policy, as this comes to the corporate, free of interest . Say for a practical instance, CEOs/Managers, who were reluctant to spend Rs.50,000 to find  a solution that had the potential to produce 20 crores in revenue............... The company saved Rs.50,000, but it had no other solution in hand with the potential to generate that much revenue.

Best,ethical and transparent practices are also very essential  for innovation success while dealing with its customers. Follow the  these  guiding principles  for each of the four steps in the process: 1. Discover. 2. Invent.3.Invest 4.Refine.

Tension or frustration may sometimes occurs between the new methods corporate company's introduce and the old ways of doing business. For instance, one team did fantastic work on the first two steps under proper guidance. They identified an unfulfilled need of its customers and invented a solution to meet and fulfill the need....but lacked in adequate investment from Management.

However, during the Refinement step, they decided not to use the principle that should have been used , and they went forward based on their existing idea development process. After more than a considerable period of time being wasted, they still had not refined the new innovative concept to the point where they could make it.

And CEOs/Managers to bear in mind at all times while engaged in customer service the following two mantras(watch words) to be successful and to satisfy customers at least to certain extend and thereby increase their market share..........& to create enduring value

1. We don't think to breathe.................We breath to think.

2. We can't spell "S(U)CCESS with out "U" ........OUR ESTEEMED customers.

GOD BLESS  "YOU ALL" My Dear...........CEOs & Managers.......and enjoy a successful and profitable YEARS HEAD.

A Recipe for a Happy New Year....................

 Hi Friends..... Here is A Recipe for a Happy New Year....................

Take twelve whole months. Clean them thoroughly of all bitterness, hate,and jealousy. Make them just

as fresh and clean as possible.

Now cut each month into twenty-eight, thirty, or thirty-one different parts, but don't make up the whole batch at once. Prepare it one day at a time out of these ingredients.

Mix well into each day one part of faith, one part of patience, one part of courage, and one part of work. Add to each day one part of hope,faithfulness, generosity, and kindness. Blend with one part prayer, one part meditation, and one good deed. Season the whole with a dash of good spirits, a sprinkle of fun, a pinch of play, and a cup full of good humour.

Pour all of this into a vessel of love. Cook thoroughly over radiant joy, garnish with a smile, and serve with quietness, unselfishness, and cheerfulness...........Then......You are for sure bound to have a happy new year.................2016........
