  How we communicate makes a difference.   I checked into a Hotel in Madurai around 1 A.M.; after receiving my access card, the executive in the reception said, "Our complimentary buffet breakfast closes by 10 A.M." I didn't pay much attention to what he said. I entered the room to take a quick nap. The following day while I was on my regular walk, I pondered the executive's statement. I understood he was indirectly cautioning me to hit the breakfast in time due to my late arrival. The purpose of my visit to Madurai was to deliver a session on selling and customer handling skills; since my mind was preoccupied with the program, I was reflecting on what the executive said in my communication skills module and was curious to convert this as a topic for discussion. During the conversation with the participants, I found that Madurai is a pilgrimage city; many hotels start an early buffet to help the senior citizens to have an early breakfast to avoid any health issu...

  Values run the business. The intention of starting the business in the past was to hand it over to the next generation, but today some companies are created to be sold. If the intention is to sell the business, is there long-term thinking? Only the founders can answer it. Today the widely used words are scaling up, valuation, disruption, unicorn etc., but on the other hand, we are witnessing a reduction of the workforce, losses, buyback of shares etc. On one end, start-ups are becoming an inspiration for youngsters, but on the other hand, the brands we use in our daily life, from learning, dining, payments etc., are becoming case studies on failures. The experts from various business functions can come up with many analyses behind their failures, but it all points to one quality - The value system. An idea can help us start a business, but values help us stay in business; TATA is a classic example of a Value system. Defining the values and displaying the same does not guara...

  Worth of a Person Every human being has a worth, the worth of one need not be compared with others.  Remember, every human being is unique, and every job a person does has its inbuilt challenges. Since somebody serves the forces, it doesn't mean a movie star is inferior; they both have their responsibilities to fulfil. A person's worth can be highlighted by listing their hardships & accomplishments instead of comparing them with each other. Comparing one person to another is injustice done to both.   As human beings, we would not like to be compared, but our conversation with others is not complete without comparing one person with the other.   Every role in society is essential, and everyone has a role to play. Let us respect every person so that their self-worth goes up.   M.L. Narendra Kumar                                  ...
