The document discusses cultivating conscience through introspection, validation, and confrontation. It describes a reclusive African tribe that helps wrongdoers realize their goodness by speaking of their positive actions. In contrast, modern corporate culture lacks such techniques, so individuals must rely on their own conscience. Taking ownership and accountability for one's actions helps invoke conscience, while their absence can lead to loss of conscience over time. It provides steps and questions to help individuals introspect and validate their actions with peers to determine right from wrong.
Usually, the onus to build visibility in organizations rests on the individual. As people compete and push for visibility, their actions can reflect an absence of conscience. This presentation shares ideas on how the supervisors and leaders can intervene and how they can influence culture of an organization.
The resistance to let go is actually a persistence to safeguard your value system. The presentation discusses the difficulties in letting go and offers a few routes for adoption.
Caught between the extremes of lack of introspection while pointing a finger at the other to first building a moral standing and then pointing, is there a middle path? This presentation explores the idea of iterative cultivation of human conscience and why building moral standing and pointing fingers need not be sequential in nature. The presentation illustrates a work-related example and how we can escape from the trap of extremes.
To act with conscience is a moral obligation of every seat at the high table. This presentation highlights 10 types of seats, their image, and how people downstream perceive and engage with those occupying such seats.
Each employee farewell involves four identities and comes wrapped with at least four gifts. This slideshare post analyzes an employee farewell from the lens of conscience, and how individuals can introspect on their actions, their choices and their role leading up to the farewell.
Organisations and its leaders can ruin their culture and capabilities when they marginalize meritocracy. As the rat race heats up, how can managers guide their team to pursue growth and aspirations without losing touch with their conscience?
We have a tendency to calculate, compare, and compete on happiness levels with others. Is there a sanctity to such happiness ? Can this obsession be redirected?
The Bell Curve is rarely an honest arrangement of people performance. Instead, it is a reflection of how the organization and its managers have steered the battle with their conscience. This presentation provides a few pointers on the role of conscience when it comes to performance management.

If we continue to bring the "Big fish eats small fish" philosophy to our work place every day, we stand to encourage and endorse animal behavior. If we abandon our cherished values, and the essence of human life, where does that lead us to? How do we escape from it? This presentation offers a moment for introspection and underlines the need for cultivating conscience in corporate life.
When is loyalty a bondage? And, when is it liberating? At our workplaces, when numerous associations demand and compete for our loyalty, how do we decide? This presentation examines the anatomy of loyalty with the lens of human conscience.
Are well-wishers in the good books for merely wishing well. Is that ok? Can one involve and associate better to create positive impact in people's lives, especially at work places? This Absence of Conscience slideshare urges you to think differently.
The choice between right and wrong is usually simple. However, we complicate the choice by taking the route of convenience. The more often you stay in the corridor of convenience, you are left manoeuvring at the edge of flames that can consume all the goodness in you. And, leave you exposed and lonely, until the time you are on the receiving end. Stand up for the right. It's the right thing to do. Shun convenience as it is all about the self. Righteousness in corporate life is also about other people in your world!
Have you ever wondered who is the housekeeper of your actions? As we perform innumerable actions each day, how do they stack up against moral benchmarks? Is there a framework to ensure that all our actions, be it at work or at home, are honorable?
In the third issue of Heartfulness Magazine we explore the theme, our focus determines our reality. Topics of articles include the science of happiness, effective use of time, the sacredness of play, and consciousness. We welcome you dear reader, to also absorb the wisdom of spiritual teachers from historical times and bask in the immensity of nature's beauty.
This issue features an activity section for children to create their own wisdom cards and a continuation of our thought-provoking parable.
We look forward to hearing your thoughts.

Oprah Winfrey: A Leader in Media, Philanthropy, and Empowerment | CIO Women M...CIOWomenMagazine

The case study discusses the potential of drone delivery and the challenges that need to be addressed before it becomes widespread.
Key takeaways:
Drone delivery is in its early stages: Amazon's trial in the UK demonstrates the potential for faster deliveries, but it's still limited by regulations and technology.
Regulations are a major hurdle: Safety concerns around drone collisions with airplanes and people have led to restrictions on flight height and location.
Other challenges exist: Who will use drone delivery the most? Is it cost-effective compared to traditional delivery trucks?
Discussion questions:
Managerial challenges: Integrating drones requires planning for new infrastructure, training staff, and navigating regulations. There are also marketing and recruitment considerations specific to this technology.
External forces vary by country: Regulations, consumer acceptance, and infrastructure all differ between countries.
Demographics matter: Younger generations might be more receptive to drone delivery, while older populations might have concerns.
Stakeholders for Amazon: Customers, regulators, aviation authorities, and competitors are all stakeholders. Regulators likely hold the greatest influence as they determine the feasibility of drone delivery.

INCIDENT: ONE OF YOUR FAVORITE REPORTEE REGULARLY
STEALS WORK CREDITS AND YOU TURN A BLIND EYE. YOUR

DO WELL. IT’S OK. NO BIG DEAL
PEER SENTIMENT: YOUR SILENCE ENCOURAGES
UNHEALTHY WORK ETHICS WITHIN THE TEAM. ALSO, MAY BE
YOU TOO STEAL CREDITS AT YOUR LEVEL
BASED ON THE INTROSPECTION EXERCISE,
DISCUSS WITH A PEER AND MAP THE SENTIMENT
AS A SECONDARY VALIDATION, PICK ANY

NO ONE CAN STOP ME
ETHICS AND MORALS ARE NO LONGER RELEVANT
IT’S A RAT RACE, AND FOCUS ONLY ON WINNING
EVERYONE DOES IT
THIS IS THE ORGANIZATION CULTURE
IT’S A SMALL THING
I DON’T HAVE TIME FOR THESE THINGS
IT IS SURVIVAL OF THE FITTEST
COME ON, I AM NOT LIKE THAT
I HAVE ALWAYS BEEN FAIR
YOU CAN’T SAY THAT TO ME
DON’T SUCCUMB TO YOUR EGO
Absence of Conscience | Keep Calm and Speak the Truth | Sanjay Kirimanjeshwar
25. CULTIVATING CONSCIENCE IS A LIFE LONG
CHOICE. YOU CAN START AT ANY MOMENT
AND STAY TRUTHFUL TO YOURSELF.
FROM TIME TO TIME, TAKE A LOOK AT
YOURSELF. IT IS NOT IMPORTANT HOW
MUCH MONEY YOU HAVE, OR IF YOU HAVE
THE CORNER OFFICE, OR WHAT POSITION
YOU HAVE REACHED.
EVENTUALLY, WHAT IS IMPORTANT IS
WHAT IS THE PERSON YOU HAVE BECOME.
STAY TRUE. STAY CONSCIOUS

ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
When I first saw the slide show version of Marty Neumeier’s Brand
Gap many years ago, I was awestruck by its simplicity and the
conversational style of presentation.
It taught me how to build slides.
