Character is the essence of Good Management by Prof. Anuradha Mishra, SICA College, Indore

CHARACTER IS THE ESSENCE OF GOOD MANAGEMENT Once Dave Ulrich, the Michigan-based HR guru stated that “Everything about leadership radiates from character.” The world knows that people who became successful business leaders had shown a great deal of integrity, commitment and strength of character. They demonstrated a remarkable amount of integration between thought, word and deed. They established themselves as honest, transparent and trustworthy individuals. People with character have strong sense of values. Having a sense of values means being guided in your thinking and actions by an inner code of standards and abstaining from what you consider as wrong. Values are built in organizations as well.

Truth vs. Fact I f we search the dictionary, it says that the truth is same as fact. Although, the Truth may not be a fact. And a fact may not necessarily be the truth. A fact is something that we know to be true. Some incident we witnessed or someone informed about something. But, a fact may not always be the truth. But our own experiences are always our truth.

Human life is illusory. We live in our illusions, our world is so secure, we have been confined to our comfort zones. I realised that every other creature is so different than us. They are fully exposed to life and to all the ris...

Positive Attitude Winston Churchill said “Attitude is a little thing that makes a big difference.” By Prof Pratibha Saraswat, SICA College, Indore

Positive Attitude Winston Churchill said “Attitude is a little thing that makes a big difference.” Positive attitude is a very important thing that we all must have. It is just not about smiling or joking around. T hat is only the surface. The real positive attitude is a way of life, a part of our personality. Our approach to life from a positive point of view can reap us many benefits. We learn throughout the life but our knowledge and experience that we gain in our youth dete rmines the direction of our lives . As a student you should not fear and experiment to find new vistas and fields. Life is a mix of everything good and bad. So you should be prepared for both the aspects . Failure is something that everyone encounters at one time or the other in his/ her life. We cannot stop moving in life because of the fear of failure. The true approach would be to learn from the failures and be wise after learning from it. Thomas Edison once s...
