Start-ups raise money based on 5 yr projections of services they haven't launched and customers they haven't served.
Established businesses have to justify their model even after sustaining for 5 yrs.

Telling sign of a good leader - The more mature he gets, the less is his urge to win an argument with others around him.

The need for winning arises from the need for external validation.

Stop proving yourself to anyone but yourself.

[Dr. Alok Gupta @galok01]

Cultivate a habit of “selectively brushing aside things"

Stop wasting time on things that do not add value.
Ignore people who drain your energy.
Accord higher importance to knowing what matters to pursue on than how to pursue.

Value your time !

Most of the times it is our inaction that makes us fear a problem.
Act on the problem even if the action is imperfect and progress is slow.
Action reduces anxiety & progress provides satisfaction, fear will go away.

Always create a safety margin especially when you are doing well.
Very often
- the fittest person gets injured chasing personal records.
- highly productive person becomes ineffective taking on multiple activities.
Don’t let your carefree today ruin your tomorrow.

Never let go anyone who
- tells you the truth.
- imparts you knowledge.
- forgives you first.
- helps you in need.
- makes you laugh.

Treasure them for life.

Change is the only constant in life. The sooner you accept this, the better it will be for you.

However, don't compromise on the speed of change.

Speed of change is directly proportional to pain of change.

"I don't have any bandwidth" is the most common statment people use to avoid work.

Always be PRODUCTIVE than being BUSY.

Imbibe this habit early in your career.

Many would agree, first 20 years of our lives are spent in LEARNING things in school/college, next 20 years are spent in UNLEARNING those.
For those who don't agree the word is UPSKILLING.

Start of work day, bumped into an imbecile? Don't let it ruin your day, move on.
If you keep bumping into more of them in the day, stop. Look into mirror. It's you and not them.

To spot a good leader, take a look at his team.
Team would NEVER turn to him for their daily tasks and actions. But will ALWAYS come to him for thoughts and vision.

[Dr. Alok Gupta @galok01]

There will be a set of people who will respect you for the title or the position you hold. Don't be fooled by their numbers.
Those who respect you for your conduct towards them, are the real strength which you can count on.

The 2 most important days in life -
1st the day you are born.
2nd the day you realize the reason why you are born.
Pity, for most of us the 2nd never happens !

Trust in the team is the magical ingredient that propels the team to greater heights. The onus of creating that environment lies with the leader.

Mistrust takes root when the leader is insecure.

The hiring principle that has served me well over the years - Do not search for someone who knows all the answers, rather look for the one who is willing to go that extra mile to get the answer.

How to react to manager's rough conduct?

Old school mindset says - think that a part of your salary is to swallow that roughness and move on.

Is it then a time to introduce something like "Mental Harassment Allowance" in the CTC?
