Hi Friends, On personal front accept the reality of failure, be cool & collected, behave well with all, including with family and continue to be-in-touch with friends, network with associates, et al and try to overcome the tide, gain balance and momentum back in life; and, On professional front, try to acquire marketable skills, reengineer the behavioral patterns, where required, et al and grow positively. OR, On personal front, become a recluse, alcoholic, drug-abuser, lose balance and temper, become generally irritable to the neighborhood & the family; (such gentlemen have become as the stinkers of the society, not to speak of becoming notorious as ‘Wife-beaters’ & ‘Child-abusers’); and, On the professional front, continue to be where one is, curse the fate that let them down, become wild, rave ‘n’ rant against the whole world and hide behind computer to try to take out their miserable-frustrations on others.

Dear Readers We have seen this trend (as it was as routine in past years) in past years, esp. during year 2000-2003, many of top notch CEO’s were sacked, transferred or their perks were restructured. The very reason for sacking these heroes of the companies, was just one reason, they were not able to show the credibility to the commitment they made in Board Meetings. As per the general survey conducted by research companies on this, they came out with very interesting findings.

In the 20th century we have seen that company structures have become more and more focused towards efficiency, creating very specific frameworks for employees to work in. If everyone does his part the machine works, adding to the collective ROI. Leadership was thus focused on maintaining, managing the structure.. In the 21st century we are beginning to see a different model. As more and more business services get automated and web gets implemented into the daily workflow of the company, actions shift from within the company to INTER-action with the client. The client will be more enabled towards his needs (self-service online e.g.), administration and workflow within the company is going to be automated. We are thus seeing a sift towards specialism instead of addressing and regulating / managing internal needs, and specialism in communication towards business partners and clients (to make the difference). In my opinion Leadership will thus have to change as well. I believe that Self-co...
