• If you are running a race and spend few
seconds to turn back you loose your time. In
the mean time your competitor moves ahead
by a few more steps.
• In the end world remembers the
First only and not the Second.

time.
• You are in the race right from the time you
are born.

15. Find new Bearings.
Success of a individual or an
organization depends on the
realistic approach and a highly
developed sense as to the purpose
and destination.
Need is a clear focus should be
there about the Mission, Vision and
Values for an individual or an
organization to steer through the
changing times.
VasudevanBK

16. • In a conveyor belt of a continuous process
industry any type of mishap is the resultant
effect of bearings so it should be replaced
immediately to keep the conveyor moving.
• Stress, Conflicts, and Confusion affect the
speed and your playing a meaningful and
purposeful role in your success.

Clear focus, Tolerance etc.

rooms but only through proper
understanding about self and practice.
•It boils down to developing Intellectual
capacity, and Mental capacities which deal
with our thinking abilities.
VasudevanBK
17

18. • Still we find a missing dimension i.e.
Spirituality, which is intimately connected
with our classification as Human Beings and
that we have some thing called MIND.
• Spirituality is not connected with any
religions but with our own innate values,
innate powers, self respect, self esteem all
leading to developing the belief in the self.
• All above leads to enhancing the will power
through Meditation, relaxation techniques
and power to apply spiritual insights
practically.

20. Managing Self
• Man-age-men-t
We have a tendency to manage
Man before men.
If I don’t know to manage myself
How can I manage others.
VasudevanBK
20

21. We always want to manage:
•
•
•
•
•
Others ,
Money
Market,
Machines, and
practically all external entities but not our
own self.

22. The word ‘Age’ in the word
‘Management' refers to:
•Physical age of a person
•Experience
•Courage
•Self confidence
•Maturity
VasudevanBK
22

23. With experience leading to
maturity we get the courage to
direct others
as a leader in terms of:
•What they should be doing?
•Why they should be doing?
•How they should be doing?
VasudevanBK
23

24. In the same way we are in a
position to direct all our sense
organs with a perfect
understanding as motioned
earlier.
VasudevanBK

25. Take the case of our Tongue –
Are we Managing it properly?
Tongue has no bones but it will break
bones if not managed properly.
Next is our Ears• Need Information continuously
• Cannot take decisions without
information and analyse the same
• Information can slip through the
tongue if not managed.
VasudevanBK
25

26. Expereince
•
We require new experiences.
•
•
A must for taking any decisions.
We cannot take decisions based on our past
experiences alone.
•
Experiences only can teach you new situations and
how to handle them.
•
We cannot build ourselves if we cannot adapt
ourselves with new changing environment.
•
We need maturity to think when to use the
required expereince and the way or method to use
the same.
VasudevanBK
26

27. We should avoid being the victims of the
situation
•
•
•
•
•
For this we should ask ourselves following
questions:
When to Manage?
Where to Manage?
How to Manage?
Manage up to what extend?
Which way to Manage?
VasudevanBK
27

28. • Once we have the answers for all these
questions , we can be rest assured, we will
take the right decision.

29. Managing with Hands ,Head and Heart.
• American System – After the end of 2nd. World War -Military
Style-Pyramid Style-Centralized Decision Making-Existed
for 3 decades. Most workers were required to use only
their HAND in completing Their Task.
• Japanese System - Total Quality Management SystemCreativity-Kaizen took birth .Here one more Instrument
was used called HEAD giving birth to creative thinking and
suggestions.
• Current System
- Emotional -In addition to Hands and
Head one more instrument widely available with all was
used. i.e. HEART. Feelings ,Attachments ,Total Involvement
by all those working were prevalent.

30. Now the organized world wants Self
Motivated, Committed and Responsible
People.
In order to Motivate people and get their
commitment, identification of Values of the
people becomes important.
VasudevanBK

31. In the olden days, in GURUKUL, important
was to teach values along with all other
lessons thus managing the Kingdom was
simpler. Most of the kings were ruling with
responsibility and commitment leading to
tranformational leadership.
This is what is required by the organized
world Today - A technique for HRD, to tap
the inner potentials of their people .
