Sycophancy

                   - by Mayuri jibhe _I would rather a thousand times be a free soul in jail than to be a sycophant and coward in the streets!_           - _Eugene Debs._   If you are not good at being a lick spittle then forget about the pinnacle, mediocrity waits for you eagerly. Sycophancy is so much appreciated these days or rather I would say that it has always been much appreciated since even before our independence due to selfish nature when Britishers were the rulers.

                       - by Mayuri jibhe World is a balanced instability, Hazardous order of disruption. Continuous overuse of availability, Encouragement of unhealthy competition! Everything we did, we are doing and we will be doing is for money. "Money can't buy you happiness, but it can make you awfully comfortable while you're being miserable"          -- Clare Boothe Luce. There are many ways to gain Name and Fame but only a few people choose the path of honesty. And the greedy ones opt corruption! #Business Inefficiency Because corruption entails improper use of the available resources, it can jeopardize the efficiency of a business organization. Resources that would be used in implementing important business operations are instead employed in unrelated or unproductive functions. Bribery in the process of awarding tenders a...

The “Business” Saga of a Leader

(by Avni Sri, Club Manager, E-Cell VNIT) There goes a great saying in this business world: Remember the difference between a boss and a leader; a boss says "Go!", a leader says "Let's go!". So, leadership is action, not mere position. The essence is that a leader assumes responsibility and believes in holding that responsibility collectively. But hold on....

Success to be shared with everyone lest you should be a limelight snatcher and pains to be vested with you alone or you are an ace of blame-game, a more worthy bad workman complaining his tools -- yes, welcome to the real life of a leader. Your executive ability scaled down to your ability to decide quickly and get somebody else to do the work. Your efforts to put ideas suggested by others together and work out a masterpiece as adding substance to "great artists steal and ge...
