Nepal Tara, I understood that you read books, do search in internet but you may have not realise that there are lot others who do the same. majority of your posting are abstract from books, either from human resource (managemnet, leadership, self improvement etc) or from sometraditional teachings, but.. but you forgot to realise that these books and teachings are there, in one or the other form, for many years, and ppl are reading it and some ppl even say that they are practiciing it No one has become leader by reading a book "How to become a leader "or somthing like that (may be there are few exception, who knows) and no one has become great person by following the teaching (because it is not possible to follow the traditional teaching in its entire).Real Leader may not have enough time to go through these things. It also seems that you havnt realise the difference between western ledership requirement, necessity and the traditional eastern teaching (if you go deep you will find that they contradict each other, eastern teaching says be thoughtful, be calm, share whereas western teaching, in practice, says be aggressive, grab the things and protect your might) The points you are coating from books are for the intelligent ppl to manage the subordnates in companies or in a structured environment, it is worthless to discuss here in detail because this is not "School of Managemnet) and you seem to be addicted to those books (because addicted person always thinks she/he is right, no matter what). May be you are relatively new in this field and when you find those books and some eastern traditional teaching with english explanation you became happy like a child who gets the chocolate and started to post in sajha to educate the ppl. It also looks like that most of the posting, you made here, you have not applied to yourself first (to apply somthing on oneself is very difficult than to give "Upadesh" to others isnt it) otherwise you shouldnt have used the words you are using in your post. Anyway reading books is good and and reading easter teaching is also good, but they can not be practiced in real life as it is (may be you will realise it later), practice is somthing which you have to learn yourself thats why ppl may have said life is like a school , you learn every day. Well ppl say truth is bitter, some ppl accept it some dont but that is not my business. enjoy the life
