Management Trends

Positive intelligence

Read about the concept of positive intelligence propagated by Shirzad Chamine  which speaks of the saboteur and sage within us .It further elaborates how we can sabotage ourselves with some traits and there is a sage too within us which is the balancing factor .The earlier you are aware of these traits and this wonderful concept the better. You can visit the site  and take 2 tests – the saboteur one and the positive intelligence quotient

The reports give a good understanding of the personality traits which either enable professional behaviour which spells success else some derailers –(minor  they may be )which take us away from our goals !! Additional details about this concept can also be found at:

How Google Works and is Still Working

Read this amazing book .. The authors have given a very practical account of the modern day management practices followed at Google Inc and how they have helped create a new culture devoid of the baggage of the past and has characteristics like fairness and transparency , providing real space to employees to innovate , fostering team work without inhibition etc .The language is racy and grasps your attention from the word go.. One thing I could not help noticing Google with its razor sharp focus has only hired the best whether it is in the form of employees or even consultants who work for them .Talk of A’s hiring A’s- this is even mentioned in the book.The book also dwells on the future and how big Data will even push the envelope  further as far as innovation is concerned ..A must read I should say ..
