Folks,
A long break, indeed! April was quite a crazy month with a week long stay in Glasgow and chasing every penny of the business in this trying conditions!!
As mentioned in my profile, am a strong believer in 'possibilities'.
Many people look at opportunities but do not know how to convert them in to possibilities. The key to success is converting opportunities to possibilities. This world and market is full of possibilities irrespective of the much talked about 'slow downs'.
MATHI YOSI is the Tamil slang for 'think differently'. Many of us keep preaching this in our daily life but how many of us practice?
People get bogged down with their routines and never try and get out of it to practice this great mantra 'mathi yosi'.
Many of us, as soon as enter the office, switch on our computers. There are mails and emails and mails to attend to and meetings after meetings after meetings!!!
Added to this is the instant chattings and G chats!!
Where do we get time to move and look around?
I strongly advocate to my guys to move around and look for new possibilities and ideas.
Don't reinvent the wheel, that's not required but look at how you can make the wheel to run/turn faster!!
Thats what will make you stand out!!
There are so many examples to get inspired from. Great innovations. Developed from just a spark. Challenged the established ways and some great 'outside the box' thinking. 'Break through' as it is commonly known in the corporate circles.
Many managers, responsible for delivery, keep looking at break throughs every second but from others and not within.
Make it a habit to challenge the established way of working and thinking and imbibe the habit of breakthrough thinking-MATHI YOSI!!
Walkman, Ipod, mobile phones, digital cameras all these happened due to someone challenging the current thinking and looking at breakthroughs. Examples of 'Maathi Yosi'.
If you are following cricket, look at IPL. Isn't it a great example of this theory of 'Mathi Yosi?'
I would be posting a lot on this subject and share with you some very inspiring stories.
Whichever field you are in, whether sales, marketing, manufacturing, logistics or finance, start practicing this fine principle of 'Mathi Yosi' TODAY!
Look within, look outside for inspirations, as you and your team on how they look at things? There is always an opportunity waiting for someone to convert it in to possibility.
Keep it in mind always!!!
Cheers!!!
