Like 'Vivek' they believe their 'ideas' have more value than it actually has. I liked your observation that 'Vivek" was more interested in his technology than in his company.

Most often success is sustained when you achieve goals through determination – you tend to carry your people along with you in the achievement.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8729438230766514313.post-43610039961995705112009-06-20T21:31:41.311+08:002009-06-20T21:31:41.311+08:00Well said Chandran, so many times change is initia...Well said Chandran, so many times change is initiated for the sake of itself, because its hard and people are resistant to it and because it is somehow perceived as necessary to survival. I believe the concept of adaptability / adaptation is probably a wiser mechanism. I stole this from one of our Vice Presidents who used Darwin and adaptation as a main theme in the current environment. The difference for me is that adaptation is a gradual process that adjusts to the real practical environment as opposed to being initiated from a 'vision' or 'management initiative'. However I fear that the whole political climate of today's crisis forces executives to be see to be 'doing something' that holds the promise of swift results. Even if the truth is that the historical evidence in every organization suggests that there are no easy answers and results take investment, good leadership and lots of painstaking effort (and time), this environment makes the 'quick fix' very seductive.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07946296683807177258noreply@blogger.com
