A CEO Social Scientist - dreamers

Here is the next one in this series. The dreamers. This particular brand of people exist in all possible functions within the company. Be it the least functionally critical security guard to the CEO. They are people with good intentions. Good skills. Amazing prospective and creativity. But alas they also posess the worst trait that could kill themselves as well as the company.

Being an entrepreneur is a strenuous job. It takes you away from family, your hobbies, your friends. But it also gives you the opportunity to see people in ways that are not usually possible when you are of the salaried kind. People react differently to you. Atleast it seems that way.

This is the question that my mom, my girlfriend(s)(in the past), my wife, friends, bosses, colleagues, employees have all asked me both loudly and sometimes through a sigh or a misplaced glance.

CSR seems to be the buzzword of the age. As far as i know it has been the buzzword for the past few/many years. Anytime a company goes through a bad phase of publicity(external or internal) the spin pundits in the company come out with a CSR initiative. Sheesh...talk about sleazy. Our country doesnt need large companies coming forward to adopt villages. The top management come and hold the impoverished's hands for the duration of the photo-shoot...

Welcome to SWOT

SWOT...any damn MBA course offered by any established institutions or fly-by-night operations keep drilling this into our heads only... but my SWOT is different..atleast i am going to try my best to try and make it different ( as though you haven't heard that before ). I basically have two plans for this blog. 1) make it a blog of things, events, news, that is happening around me. it could be about a new movie, a joke at work,( most of the times,...
