Leadership and Retention


Leadership is About Influence - Not Authority

"Respect is how to treat everyone, not just those you want to impress." ~Richard Branson

Great leaders don't set out to be a leader. They set out to make a difference. It's never about the role – It's always about the goal.

“It’s amazing how much you can accomplish if you do not care who gets the credit." Harry S. Truman

“Leaders become great, not because of their power, but because of their ability to empower others.” John Maxwell

A boss has the title. A leader has the people. ~ Simon Sinek

"Take care of your employees and they will take care of your business. It’s as simple as that." Richard Branson

"People will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel.” ~ Maya Angelou

"Culture is more important than vision. Some leaders have great vision, but have created a toxic culture where that vision will never happen." ~ Phil Cooke
  • A toxic culture cannot take root without a fertile ground. The symptoms cannot survive without a support network.
"Train people well enough so they can leave, treat them well enough, so they don’t want to." ~ Sir Richard Branson

If you don't show appreciation to those that deserve it, they'll learn to stop doing the things you appreciate.

"Leaders who don't listen will eventually be surrounded by people who have nothing to say." ~Andy Stanley

A bad boss can take a good staff and destroy it, causing the best employees to flee and the remainder to lose all motivation.

It is the Dharma which is the special quality of the human beings. Without the Dharma, they are similar to the animals.  Rama is The Embodiment Of Dharma.  Maaricha, while speaking to Ravana- (Aranya Kandam 37-13): रामो विग्रहवान् धर्मः साधुः सत्य पराक्रमः | राजा सर्वस्य लोकस्य देवानाम् इव वासवः || ३-३७-१३|| raamo vigrahavaan dharmaH saadhuH satya paraakramaH | raajaa sarvasya lokasya devaanaam iva vaasavaH || 3-37-13 "Rama is the embodiment of righteousness, he is an equable person with truthfulness as his valour, and as with Indra to all gods he is the king of entire world.

Microsoft moving to Live (Online sofware services)

Microsoft plans to launch Internet-based complements to its core products(Windows and Office), that create opportunities for the company to sell online subscriptions and advertising. Windows Live is a set of Internet-based personal services, such as e-mail, blogging and instant messaging. Office Live will come in both ad-based and subscription versions that augment MS' Office suite. The programs won't replace the paid software but instead seem aimed at capturing its online share. Windows Live at Live.com . From BBC The move to online software services is closely linked to the spread of high-speed access to the internet, as online software services are only as good as a user's access to the web. Mr Gates, who is Microsoft's chairman and chief software architect, said the strategic shift would change his company's approach to doing business: "We are trying to put a 'service plus software' mentality into many of the product groups inside Microsoft."
