The poetry and management of being schooled well
Will you be surprised if I say that poetry and management share a lot of common features? Well, they do and despite what the detractors may think or say, there is a lot of poetry in management just as there is a lot of management acumen in every stanza that was ever written. I have...
Push harder. Pull harder. Churn richness.
There is this great human manthan going on all around all the time. And I don’t mean the feeling one gets when walking in the crowded corridors of CP in Delhi… nor do I necessarily mean the sort of pushes and pulls during election time in India. We know that business isn’t the only world...
Translating vision into reality
Words fill our lives. Words… and more words. Lots of descriptions and a heavy dose of sentences and disparate ideas claiming to be a part of some vision. It is only once in a while that you come across words that are actually a part of a well-meaning visionary thought and then you get to...
The great teacher analysed
Technology may not be what you teach your student, but technology is certainly what you use when you teach. The bits and the bytes, the internet, the social media, and all things that travel at speeds that the mind cannot even think of, are as real as the bunch of students that you see in...
Lifting the veil off MBA
A single tweet made me make up my mind about this article. The tweet from Rahiel ?@RahielT said: ‘I have so much more to learn about growing and sustaining a business but experience is often the best teacher. Life has been my Harvard MBA.’ I then searched a bit more and came up with a...
War Zone: The business world today!
One war doesn’t end the next… battles go on forever; they simply transfer their point of action from a physical front to one where minds are targeted. Same is the case in the business world. For instance, Coke and Pepsi fight it out in the field at the vendor level during the peak summer months...
Say: I will!… and you will!!
Aristotle remarked: “You will never do anything in this world without courage. It is the greatest quality of the mind next to honor.” Courage is nothing but a developed will-power to pursue an aim with single-minded devotion. For students and MBA-aspirants or even those who wish to pursue studies abroad, what is essential is developing...
Set your sights for success in MBA-entrance
It is not just the football players who rush towards goals. It is their focus and their unflinching sights on the goal that spells success in the sweetest possible way. The same principle applies to students and MBA-aspirants too. Goal-setting makes a lot of sense and it is vital to understand its dynamics properly. Goals...

Student success and bumpers!
Bumpers in a bowling alley help in telling us a lot about our playing skills. They protect and they also tell us the direction in which the throw must go to prevent any failure moments. Life too has its bumpers. They are just as vital for students and those who wish to achieve anything. The...
Storm the MBA entrance through intuition!
Can B-schools include a module on “How to be a trailblazer”? Can inspiration be deconstructed, set to an algorithm and thus made repeatable? Is there a management term for ‘sixth sense’? All my mêlée here in this article is in essence a return to an age old debate on the innate variance of management education....
Education is the nursery for tomorrow
It is the uneducated mind and a personality that lacks a coherent direction that tends to seek terror as its anchor. But I am not talking of terror as a political weapon or as some act that will make it to the headlines as an agent of destruction. Terror stalks only when the finer portals...
