Air Balloon problem

You all have heard the great story of the air balloon weight problem right.  If the balloon starts coming down, you drop all the weights to make the balloon lighter.  The moment it becomes lighter the balloon is once again in the air.

Layoffs, foreclosures, bankruptcy filling, takeovers and bank failures all led to the worst economic disaster so far in American history.  The economic balloon finally landed on the ground.  There was too much weight on it.  America is still dropping its weights in the ground since two years and making the balloon lighter.

Nobody knows how much time it will take for the balloon to rise once again.   Are you too much in debt?  Have you gained too much weight?   Guys its time to shed some pounds on the ground.

Blamers vs Seekers

Solution seekers are trying to solve the problem.  They are diving into the specifics of the issue at hand and what could be done to solve the problem and prevent it from happening again.  They are already at wor

I think these things should be addressed before a meeting is even scheduled and agenda being formed.  This is a checklist of things that need to be done for past, present and future meetings.   This will make sure that we are in the control of the project.  I see past, present and future meetings’ to-do lists as color coded items.  It helps me in realizing the importance of each of them.  Please make sure about the following things for every meeting we schedule. Previous meetings ( Green ) Run through a checklist from last meeting about things that need

Key Networking Feature: Sharing

Networking is about creating best friends forever who will advocate for you .  Let’s revisit some aspects of your friendship and see why that works great for both.   Let’s assume you have a fictitious best friend named Chris.  Now you receive a gold medal in 400 meters running race and call Chris immediately “ to share your happiest moment ”.  You just shared a part of your life and made Chris a part of your life.  Chris now feels important.  You are not feeling well and you need help and you call Chris.  Chris shows up and helps you out.  In return you always stand by him whenever he needs you.  You are always connected with Chris through email, phone, and home address and hang out together.  Whenever you are happy, sad, enlightened, or whatever you feel like sharing with Chris.  Now hold that thought for a second and ask this question to yourself, have you ever felt this way with some of your professional friends?  Have you shared anything with them that you felt was great?
