THE Bhagavad Gita is an Indian spiritual text of about 700 verses. The classic takes the form of a conversation between Krishna and Arjuna. The book by Debashis Chatterjee weaves their beautiful battlefield conversation into a narrative on the problems faced by leaders such as Arjuna and the solution provided by Krishna from a perspective that is both compelling and contemporary.
In this book, Krishna guides Arjuna through the ABCs of leadership. A for authenticity or truth; B stands for Being, which is the fundamental raw material for becoming a leader; and C stands for Convergence, which a leader achieves between his or her current reality and his & her goal, or between a problem/ challenges and its solution.
In the chapter “Leaders are Masters of their Minds”, the book poses the question: How does one begin the conquest of the turbulent mind? Krishna’s prescription is to return to the calm and stillness of the real self. Self-image is characterised by change and anxiety while the real self stands still in intense observation.
Stillness is the power behind intense action. Timeless leaders have taught us the art and science of always being still. Timeless leaders succeed only by the application of stillness. A mind that is restless, anxious, and nervous always misses the mark. Only a steady, controlled, almost machinelike hand can shoot the arrow that hits the bull’s eye. Krishna speaks of being indivisibly one with one’s goal, even like the arrowhead that has struck into the target.
An undivided concentration naturally brings about an absolutely unshakable stillness. The journey towards self-realisation involves the disciplines of silence and solitude. The Bhagavad Gita tells us: “The unreal has no being: the real never ceases to be. The final truth about them both has thus been perceived by the seers of ultimate reality”.
In the concluding chapter, the book relates the plight of the modern leader stuck on the information superhighway. Krishna argues that the busy mind is a mob of unprocessed thoughts and emotions. The only way to deal effectively with this mob is to create distance between the mob and the observer, who can now see the mob without being part of it. This observer within the leader is like the screen on which a filmed drama is projected.

Introduction
In life, there are universal laws that govern everything we do. These laws are so perfect that if you were to align yourself with them, you could have so much prosperity that it would be coming out of your ears. This is because God created the universe in the image and likeness of him. It is failure to follow the universal laws that causes one to fail. The laws that were created consisted of the following: ·
Law of Gratitude: The Law of Gratitude states that you must show gratitude for what you have. By having gratitude, you speed your growth and success faster than you normally would. This is because if you appreciate the things you have, even if they are small things, you are open to receiving more.
Law of Attraction: The Law of Attraction states that if you focus your attention on something long enough you will get it. It all starts in the mind. You think of something and when you think of it, you manifest that in your life. This could be a mental picture of a check or actual cash, but you think about it with an image.
Law of Karma: the Law of Karma states that if you go out and do something bad, it will come back to you with something bad. If you do well for others, good things happen to you. The principle here is to know you can create good or bad through your actions. There will always be an effect no matter what.
Law of Love: the Law of Love states that love is more than emotion or feeling; it is energy. It has substance and can be felt. Love is also considered acceptance of oneself or others. This means that no matter what you do in life if you do not approach or leave the situation out of love, it won't work.
Law of Allowing: The Law of Allowing states that for us to get what we want, we must be receptive to it. We can't merely say to the Universe that we want something if we don't allow ourselves to receive it. This will defeat our purpose for wanting it in the first place.
Law of Vibration: the Law of Vibration states that if you wish on something and use your thoughts to visualize it, you are halfway there to get it. To complete the cycle you must use the Law of Vibration to feel part of what you want. Do this and you'll have anything you want in life.
For everything to function properly there has to be structure. Without structure, our world, or universe, would be in utter chaos. Successful people understand universal laws and apply them daily. They may not acknowledge that to you, but they do follow the laws. There is a higher power and this higher power controls the universe and what we get out of it. People who know this, but wish to direct their own lives, follow the reasons. Successful people don't sit around and say "I'll try," they say yes and act on it.

Enterprise Excellence is Inclusive Excellence.pdfKaiNexus
Enterprise excellence and inclusive excellence are closely linked, and real-world challenges have shown that both are essential to the success of any organization. To achieve enterprise excellence, organizations must focus on improving their operations and processes while creating an inclusive environment that engages everyone. In this interactive session, the facilitator will highlight commonly established business practices and how they limit our ability to engage everyone every day. More importantly, though, participants will likely gain increased awareness of what we can do differently to maximize enterprise excellence through deliberate inclusion.
What is Enterprise Excellence?
Enterprise Excellence is a holistic approach that's aimed at achieving world-class performance across all aspects of the organization.
What might I learn?
A way to engage all in creating Inclusive Excellence. Lessons from the US military and their parallels to the story of Harry Potter. How belt systems and CI teams can destroy inclusive practices. How leadership language invites people to the party. There are three things leaders can do to engage everyone every day: maximizing psychological safety to create environments where folks learn, contribute, and challenge the status quo.
Who might benefit? Anyone and everyone leading folks from the shop floor to top floor.

Memorandum Of Association Constitution of Company.pptseri bangash
www.seribangash.com
A Memorandum of Association (MOA) is a legal document that outlines the fundamental principles and objectives upon which a company operates. It serves as the company's charter or constitution and defines the scope of its activities. Here's a detailed note on the MOA:
Contents of Memorandum of Association:
Name Clause: This clause states the name of the company, which should end with words like "Limited" or "Ltd." for a public limited company and "Private Limited" or "Pvt. Ltd." for a private limited company.
https://seribangash.com/article-of-association-is-legal-doc-of-company/
Registered Office Clause: It specifies the location where the company's registered office is situated. This office is where all official communications and notices are sent.
Objective Clause: This clause delineates the main objectives for which the company is formed. It's important to define these objectives clearly, as the company cannot undertake activities beyond those mentioned in this clause.
www.seribangash.com
Liability Clause: It outlines the extent of liability of the company's members. In the case of companies limited by shares, the liability of members is limited to the amount unpaid on their shares. For companies limited by guarantee, members' liability is limited to the amount they undertake to contribute if the company is wound up.
https://seribangash.com/promotors-is-person-conceived-formation-company/
Capital Clause: This clause specifies the authorized capital of the company, i.e., the maximum amount of share capital the company is authorized to issue. It also mentions the division of this capital into shares and their respective nominal value.
Association Clause: It simply states that the subscribers wish to form a company and agree to become members of it, in accordance with the terms of the MOA.
Importance of Memorandum of Association:
Legal Requirement: The MOA is a legal requirement for the formation of a company. It must be filed with the Registrar of Companies during the incorporation process.
Constitutional Document: It serves as the company's constitutional document, defining its scope, powers, and limitations.
Protection of Members: It protects the interests of the company's members by clearly defining the objectives and limiting their liability.
External Communication: It provides clarity to external parties, such as investors, creditors, and regulatory authorities, regarding the company's objectives and powers.
https://seribangash.com/difference-public-and-private-company-law/
Binding Authority: The company and its members are bound by the provisions of the MOA. Any action taken beyond its scope may be considered ultra vires (beyond the powers) of the company and therefore void.
Amendment of MOA:
While the MOA lays down the company's fundamental principles, it is not entirely immutable. It can be amended, but only under specific circumstances and in compliance with legal procedures. Amendments typically require shareholder

Unveiling the Secrets How Does Generative AI Work.pdfSam H
At its core, generative artificial intelligence relies on the concept of generative models, which serve as engines that churn out entirely new data resembling their training data. It is like a sculptor who has studied so many forms found in nature and then uses this knowledge to create sculptures from his imagination that have never been seen before anywhere else. If taken to cyberspace, gans work almost the same way.

Here, Covey introduces the first three habits intended to
take a person from dependence to independence, or
one's ability to be self-reliant. You must be able to win
your private victories before you can start on your public
victories. If you start to win your public victories first, how
can you feel good about yourself and still work on
habits...
7. Public Victory.
Here, Covey introduces habits four through six which are
intended to lead to interdependence, the ability to align
one's needs and desires with those of other people and
create effective relationships.
Renewal:-
The final habit which directs the reader to begin a process
of self-improvement.
8. Be Proactive
Principles of Personal Vision
The word proactive means that we are
responsible for our own lives. Our behavior is a
function of our decisions, not our conditions.
We can subordinate feelings to values. We
have the initiative and the responsibility to
make things happen.
Highly proactive people recognize that
responsibility. The do not blame
circumstances, conditions, or social
conditioning for their behavior.
Their behavior is a product of their own
conscious choice, based on values, rather than a
product of their conditions, based on feelings.
9. Begin with the end in mind
Principles of Personal Leadership
Begin today with the image, picture of the end of your
life as your frame of reference of the criterion by which
everything else is examined.
Each part of your life—today’s behavior, tomorrow’s
behavior, next week’s behavior, next month’s
behavior—can be examined in the context of the
whole, of what really matters most to you.
By keeping that end clearly in mind, you can make
certain that whatever you do on any particular day
does not break the criteria you have defined as
supremely important.
To begin with the end in mind means to start with a
clear understanding of your destination. It means to
know where you’re going so that you better
understand where you are now and so that the steps
you take are always in the right direction.
10. Put First Things First
Principles of Personal Management
Habit 1 says that you are the programmer.
Habit 2 says to write the program.
Habit 3 says to run the program. Living it is
primarily a function of our independent
will, our self-discipline, our integrity, and
commitment—not to short-term goals and
schedules or to the impulse of the moment, but
to the correct principles and our own deepest
values, which give meaning and context to our
goals, our schedules, and our lives. Organize
and execute around priorities.
11. Think Win/Win
Principles of Interpersonal Leadership
Win/Win is a frame of mind and heart that
constantly seeks mutual benefit in all human
interactions.
Win/Win means that agreements or solutions are
mutually beneficial, mutually satisfying. With a
Win/Win solution all parties feel good about the
decision and feel committed to the action plan.
Win/Win is a belief in a Third Alternative. It’s
not your way or my way; it’s a better way. And if a
solution can’t be found to benefit both parties they
agree to disagree agreeably—No Deal.
Anything less than Win/Win in and
interdependent reality is a poor second best that
will have impact in the long-term relationship.
12. Seek First to
Understand, Principles of Empathic Communication
Then to Be You see the world the way they see the
world, you understand their paradigm, you
Understood understand how they feel.
You aren’t just listening with your ears, but also
with you eyes and your heart. Empathic listening
is so powerful because it gives you accurate data to
work with.
When you present your own ideas be
clear, specific, visual, and most
important, contextual—in the context of a deep
understanding of the other person’s paradigms
and concerns.
You will significantly increase the credibility of
your ideas. What you’re presenting may even be
different form what you had originally thought
because in you effort to understand, you learned.
13. Synergize
Principles of Creative Cooperation
Synergy is the essence of principle-centered
leadership. The whole is greater than sum of
its parts.
It catalyzes, unifies, and unleashes the
greatest power within people. Simply
defined, it meant that the whole is greater than
the sum of its parts. Without doubt, you have
to leave the comfort zone of base camp and
confront an entirely new and unknown
wilderness.
You become a guide, a pathfinder. You open
new possibilities, new territories, new
continents, so that others can follow. The
essence of synergy is to value differences—to
respect them, to build on strengths, to
compensate for weaknesses.
14. Sharpen the Saw
Principles of Balanced Self-Renewal
Exercise, nutrition, stress management Habit 7 is preserving and enhancing the
greatest asset you have—you. It’s renewing the
