LEADER SALE COAT TO BUY NEW BOOK
I am reading book “How the mighty fall” written by Jim Collins on the Singapore airport at 4-00 p.m. with my favorite coffee. I am waiting for my Osaka flight .I would love to share the lines of the last page of the book. “Whether you prevail or fail, endure or die, depends more on what you do yourself than on what the world does to you.”
If we have spelled the word “book”, how we will spell? BE DOUBLE OKAY. A book which can make our mind in okay status, I called it “book”.
“Reading well is one of the great pleasures that solitude can afford you. “Said by Harold Bloom, O Magazine, and April 2003. (US author, critic, educator, & scholar (1930 - )
Some of the books are very elegantly written .The books get attention on outlets are most of the time balance with elegant printing, designing, packing and highlighted content. An average person should read at least 24 books every year. (2 in months).I think I am Fair in selecting this numbers. When we read lovely book we fall in to love automatically.
Last year the number of new books was 288,355, not counting the hundreds of thousands of self-published books that came off presses such as XLibris and iUniverse. And, as long as we’re being numerical, it’s worth noting the mountain of books already in existence, to which publishers are constantly adding— currently, 129,864,880, says a software engineer who just posted a fascinating entry on the Inside Google Book blog, about what Google counts as a book.
Leader can certainly shape great life by reading books.
Happy reading!
Single Mother Wins $200,000 in Job Bias Case
she’d need in order to attain an increase in her sales commission.
Then, on June 2, 2006, Lockwood’s 4-year-daughter Lily woke up with pinkeye. She called a manager to request rescheduling a meeting since she wouldn’t be able to come to work. A half hour later, the manager called back with words that chilled Lockwood: Unless she resigned, she would be fired with or without cause.
Why? “It just wasn’t working out,” Lockwood says the manager told her.
Out of a job, Lockwood says she couldn’t pay the mortgage on her recently-purchased home, and she had to seek forbearance on her student loans. Worse, she told the Tribune, “My children had to see me stressed, depressed and anxious.”
Chicago’s human-rights commission’s final order found that Lockwood was the victim of “blatant” discrimination against employees with children, citing examples from its investigation such as a colleague being given the day off to sort out a home repair.
A lawyer for Professional Neurological Services told the Tribune that the company will appeal the decision.
Though some employers have embraced family-friendly policies, nearly 500 cases claiming family responsibilities discrimination were filed in U.S. courts between 1996 and 2005, up 97 percent from the previous decade, a 2006 report by the WorkLife Law Center found. In response, the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission in 2007 issued guidance on applying existing laws forbidding discrimination based on gender, pregnancy, or disability to protect caregivers of children and aging parents.
Lockwood’s case is the first involving parental discrimination to appear before the Chicago commission. “I’m excited because there aren’t too many opportunities in the employment arena to have the first of something,” Ruth Major, Lockwood’s lawyer, told the Tribune. “I hope it creates the opportunity for employers to pay more attention to this issue and take proper precautions so it doesn’t happen.”
The case is also significant for shining a spotlight on the growing power of local human-rights commissions. In the past, lawyers and claimants have shied away from taking matters before human-rights commissions rather than to state and federal courts, assuming that commissions would not award significant damages. Lockwood’s victory — a payment of $213,000 for her ($100,000 of which represented punitive damages), plus another $87,000 for her lawyer — will surely draw more cases before local commissions.
“While the scope of local laws may seem limited, their impact can be significant and costly for employers,” Stephanie Bornstein of the Center for WorkLife Law at the University of California Hastings College of Law told the Tribune.
QUALITY IS EXCELLENCE AND EXCELLENCE IS WHAT????
Tom peter says, “Quality is excellence and excellence is a quality.”
Quality is not a definition. It is a matter of feeling and experiencing. Quality should always be realised. I had found the most appealing washroom on the airport of Singapore. Rightly crafted commercial proposal, also printed on a A-4 size paper with a proper margin is a quality. A well dressed receptionist with smile and energy is a quality. Presenting visiting card with at most manners, etiquettes and enthusiasm is a quality. Most comfortable security checked at Dubai airport, of course law and order in order. Cleanliness and maintenance is a quality. Cup of coffee, which I had enjoyed at the corporate office of Dharmadev India, is a quality. The way our home -care taking boy Mohan cleans the bedroom and makes the bed ready is a quality. Car driver Mahendra washes the Honda car is a quality.
Quality is a feeling and experiencing, not defining.

Interview on Leadership by Shailesh Thaker at Publicservice UK
Dr. Shailesh Thaker - Management Guru India
A world renowned human potentialist, HR guru and management educator Dr Shailesh Thaker believes that leadership is demonstration, not definition. His specialist talents include mind management, professional development, managerial effectiveness, creativity and creative problem solving. Here, he answers 10 questions about his career so far.
How did your career begin?
My career began in September 1989. I had a training workshop at Surat, Gujarat in India called ‘Train the trainer’; a tough three day programme since there were a lot of us and we had to work through the day and night. The programme transformed me, however, and gave me the direction to make a career as a HR guru.
What are your greatest inspirations?
My greatest inspirations are Nelson Mandela and Mahatma Ghandi. My personal mission statement is: “To inspire people and to help them to identify and enhance their potential so that they can achieve the goals of their life.”
What is your philosophy on life?
My philosophy on life is to live in the present. The past never equals the future and each day is a new challenge.
In your opinion how can we underpin success?
Success depends on passion. You have to be passionate about your work, love your work and work with love.
What is your vision for world success and prosperity?
It is a way of life. The world should focus on new horizons and not be limited by the constraints of every day life. The distance between rich and poor creates a lot of problems for humanity and we should aim to achieve greater balance to prevent this. The world needs to be balanced but this should not compromise the goals of success and prosperity.
What are the determining links between time and purpose?
Time is used in different contexts in different parts of the world so I think one should focus on the present and give 100% to every moment, and every year one should compare and contrast with previous years. I think that can make every moment more meaningful.
You are recognised the world over. Who recognised you first, yourself or others?
The key to success is knowing you can do it. I recognised myself first then gradually other people came to recognise my potential and supported my goals. Confidence is key to the whole success equation.
To what extent does success depend on others?
Success is more connected with yourself than others. There are things within your control that you need to control. There are obviously things beyond your control such as governments, organisations and time that can hinder your progress, so what you should focus on is your internal resources. Leadership is inside-outside, it is the ability to project that which is most important, but also that you project what is inside you. One should focus internally, and then externally everything will fall into place.
How should leadership be measured?
Leadership should be looked at as 360 degrees; and travelling in both directions. It is a circle of trust. Trust yourself and others and in turn others will trust you; this is the foundation of leadership and success.
Which matters most: inspiration or perspiration?
Knowledge is the basic inspiration for everybody. One learns and then one applies. The application of the knowledge requires work. Application of knowledge is where the success lies. If the knowledge is not applied, then it is useless. So it is both inspiration and perspiration that matter.
