GET
EXTRA EDGE THROUGH KNOWLEDGE 
KNOWLEDGE:
A STEP TOWARDS EXCELLENCE
We can definitely call Microsoft Office as
a factory of imagination. Their operation in any department is admirable.
Google, Bosch, Siemens, ABB, Titan are the few organizations anyone
will admire for the way its system works within. Of course, all
of them are not having identical competencies and products. Each
one of them is unique in their own way. But few aspects are common
for all of them, which can be learned and adopted in any organizations.
Thirst for Innovation is one of the first beliefs that they have
in their DNA. They keep exploring for new ideas, design and product
seamlessly without giving up. Second most important aspect is the
way they manage valuable information. Knowledge Management is all
about how organization collect, organize and apply information in
an efficient way.
'Knowledge' is not static it is dynamic and It keeps growing. There
is an unending research happening in grown up organizations. The
outcome of the research and explorations are new ideas, innovative
products or effective process, new designs, etc. Each effort leads
people to discover something new. People have wealth of information
which can be a greatly useful to all the employees in the organization.
Successful organizations are effective in making right information
available for right references within the Organization. It saves
time and money and also avoids duplication of efforts within the
organization. Nokia software engineer who works for a language translation
project in Chennai receive codes that are already available from
Denmark. Many times organization search for information and knowledge
which are very much available in the organization.
KNOWLEDGE
MANAGEMENT: DAY TO DAY
Knowledge
management needs to be a day to day happening. If this is reminded
to team members only during crisis time, then it does not impact
any results to the organization. It can become a culture and habit
within organization. Threat to the knowledge sharing can be removed
and transparent culture can enable the people to come forward to
share what they know freely. Better system to recognize and appreciate
knowledge can motivate people to participate.
There are lot of advantages grown up organizations are using to
enrich their knowledge management. One, Measuring the Knowledge
Contribution of the People for their performance review based on
their levels. Employees are informed that when you share your knowledge
you become a contributor / productive member to the team and to
the organization. Great Ideas contributed also can earn promotion
for some one. So people are keen about constantly exploring new
ideas and suggestion
A better system in organization can only build bank for Knowledge.
Systemic approach can gather valid information and happenings, Organize
and filter the apt information and align, third make it ready for
access to the right people so that they can use it whenever they
need. Integrating the Information within the organization is a simple
task if you properly utilize the technology for tapping
MULTIPLICATION
OF KNOWLEDGE & SUCCESS
Organizations
can become lively and enthusiastic due to constant ideas flow. People
enjoy in sharing their knowledge because they are recognized. It
takes the organization to operate to its fullest potentials. Sharing
the knowledge also leads further to the point where the 'synergy'
begins to unfold its great wonders.
The multiplication of knowledge occurs and gives you an access to
the large pool of untapped resources that preexists. It also lays
down the road map for further research and development, resulting
in greater innovation of new product or service.

Building
Brand through Principles
Good
Leaders in the world do not require P R Agents and agencies to advertise
them. Their principles and action speaks for themselves. Their personalities
carry them to all over the world either by word of mouth or virtue
of nature. Nallakannu is one such popular leader brand of Communist
Party in India.
This Eighty Years Young Leader is much faster than many young comrades.
Khadi dhoti, white shirt, well combed hair and a white smile present
on the face and heart is Nallakannu. Nallakannu appears always calm
and composed. He refers in plural to even those younger than him.
He starts his day with fermented rice and onions. He is passionate
in serving society.
Imagine,
a political leader said "no" to Rajya Sabha seat stating
that "I am too old for the position, so give the opportunity for
the youngsters". He was always hungry for service not for the power.
May be that's why awards and recognitions wait for him at his door
step. He was the recipient of Tamilnadu State Ambedkar Award 2007
for his outstanding contribution to public life, especially to the
poor and the downtrodden. It was presented on January 16, 2008.
In fact, he did not receive the national level recognition, because
he was not much after for the recognition.
He
is not educated from great Universities, but his principles and
ideology are referral point. His speeches are thought provoking
due to his social concerns. "Even today our village people need
to travel average of 5 kilometers distance to reach hospital for
general ailments, how can we call ourselves that we are self contended..."
said by Nallakannu. However, he has a great hope and positive sight
towards future. He never becomes negative or gives up fighting.
Nallakkannu
was in news recently. He had re-directed a car and a sum of one
crore rupees that was gifted to him on the occasion of his 80th
birthday for the welfare of his party. That recalls memories of
Kamaraj who cancelled exclusive water connection for his mother
at his home town. This is what Cardinal quality means. That summarizes
and personifies selflessness. What we people at corporate need to
learn and follow is to work with passion and make ourselves valuable.
We always needed to be calm and composed. Nallakkannu treats people
in political as well personal life with great respect and dignity.
He does not carry the 'halo effect' on him which makes him accessible
to every person.
Nallakannu
proves that well know leaders are made of Clear Value System and
Principles. Selfless Service, Passionate towards the goal, Being
with people are his core strengths. People like Nallakannu produces
more leaders for future in Society.

Enjoy
the Summer - No other Go!!!
- Unusually
the summer this time wasn't that hot as it usually used to be.
May be the Elections and the IPL entertained the people and kept
them so cool that they didn't realise the heat of the summer.
- Summer is
an excellent Season for the Natural Life. It sterilizes the entire
system and keeps the planet and people fit for the rest of the
seasons. Summer is bright and also offers lot of things for our
lifestyle. The high temperature during summer or "Kathiri" as
it is called in Tamil, starts on May 4th 2009 and will stay for
25 days.
-
The
uninvited heat invites small pox, prickly heat, boils and related
illness. So what do medicos prescribe? 3 liters water per day,
water melons, cucumbers, fruits and vegetables.

Being
open to learning
Open
the mind doors for Mr Knowledge. The thought "I Know", closes the doors
of the mind refusing others in. It is a sarcastic way of saying "I don't
need". But the state "I don't know" is an unlocked door. Every thought
is welcomed with warmth. A rich man went to a zen master claiming zero
results from his previous mentors. The rich man further added that he
chose to seek the zen master as his tutor. The Zen master realized his
arrogance in the way he admonished his previous tutors. The master poured
tea into the man's cup. And he did not stop. Boiling tea over flowed
into the young man's clothes. To this, the young angrily jumped up and
shouted, "You stupid man, can't you see what you are doing? You are
spilling hot tea over me?" The master stopped pouring and said "Young
man, until your cup is empty, you are incapable of receiving anything
from me. Go and return when you have room to receive from another".
When you make your mind free, you become capable of learning more.

The school management has offered to give 2 additional marks

This had a good response and the parents have been pouring
in to show their stained index finger. Another school in
Poona has come up with the same idea.

Six
Ways to Grow the Action Habit
Excellence
is born out of sustained efforts in life. Successful People get things
done. This ability supercedes intelligence, talent, and connections
in determining the size of your salary and the speed of your advancement.
Despite the simplicity of this concept there is a perpetual shortage
of people who excel at getting results. The action habit - the habit
of putting ideas into action now - is essential to getting things done.
Here are 7 ways you can grow the action habit:
-
Don't
wait until conditions are perfect - If you're waiting to start until
conditions are perfect, you probably never will. There will always
be something that isn't quite right. Either the timing is off, the
market is down, or there's too much competition. In the real world
there is no perfect time to start. You have to take action and deal
with problems as they arise. The best time to start was last year.
The second best time is right now.
-
Be
a doer - Practice doing things rather than thinking about them.
Do you want to start exercising? Do you have a great idea to pitch
your boss? Do it today. The longer an idea sits in your head without
being acted on, the weaker it becomes. After a few days the details
gets hazy. After a week it's forgotten completely. By becoming a
doer you'll get more done and stimulate new ideas in the process.
-
Remember
that ideas alone don't bring success - Ideas are important, but
they're only valuable after they've been implemented. One average
idea that's been put into action is more valuable than a dozen brilliant
ideas that you're saving for "some other day" or the "right opportunity".
If you have an idea the you really believe in, do something about
it. Unless you take action it will never go anywhere.
-
Use
action to cure fear - Have you ever noticed that the most difficult
part of public speaking is waiting for your turn to speak? Even
professional speakers and actors experience pre-performance anxiety.
Once they get started the fear disappears. Action is the best cure
for fear. The most difficult time to take action is the very first
time. After the ball is rolling, you'll build confidence and things
will keep getting easier. Kill fear by taking action and build on
that confidence.
-
Live
in the present - Focus on what you can do in the present moment.
Don't worry about what you should have done last week or what you
might be able to do tomorrow. The only time you can affect is the
present. If you speculate too much about the past or the future
you won't get anything done. Tomorrow or next week frequently turns
into never.
-
Get
down to business immediately - It's common practice for people to
socialize and make small talk at the beginning of meetings. The
same is true for individual workers. How often do you check email
or RSS feeds before doing any real work? These distractions will
cost you serious time if you don't bypass them and get down to business
immediately. By becoming someone who gets to the point you'll be
more productive and people will look to you as a leader.
It
takes courage to take action without instructions from the person in
charge. Perhaps that's why initiative is a rare quality that's in demand
by managers and executives everywhere. Once people see you are getting
things done, they'll want to join in. The people at the top don't have
anyone telling them what to do. If you want to join them, you should
get used to acting independently. Grow rich habits regularly without
break.

Beach
in Delhi
If
someone sees a beach in New Delhi, please don't run to the Atlas.
On the eve of Common Wealth games, Delhi tourism and South African
Hotelier Jo Majola would realize this. The latter had already built
one at Johannesburg, South Africa. 100 meters long and 50 meter deep,
the beach with sand imported from Jaisalmer would be set opposite
the Akshardam Premises. With the Area Temperature and water temperature
engineered to 23 degrees and 20 degrees respectively, the Wave generating
machine would produce a 1 and ½ meter high wave for every 90 seconds.
But then, hold your breath, Adult entry fee would be RS 2000 and Child
entry fee RS 750. After the Commonwealth games, the place would be
leased out to the private.

Save
Trees By Using Less Paper
If you have unwanted A4 paper that’s only been printed on 1 side,
then tear it or cut it up into halves or quarters. You then end
up with A5 or A6 sized notepaper and they’re clipped together
using bulldog clips or staples. Think about buying paper made
from hemp, bamboo or organic cotton?
