Life as Tharindu sees it.....  In the cooperate world, you hardly survive without a team. A team usually work together for a common goal despite the differences of the domains the teams are engaged in. From a startup to a well-established organization, the secret of growth lies on the team work! The more your team perform, more the organization moves forward! [...more] In any cooperate sector, your team is the most valuable asset in your territory! In a leader’s eye view, the precious treasure you have is your team! If the team fail then you fail! If you fail then the organization fail! Many leads and bosses are unsuccessful because they lose the grip of the team! [...more] Well, all of you might know what a KISS is? Most of you might know how to KISS. Nonetheless I am not talking about that particular KISS but the KISS principle. [...more] Do it right at the right time!Someone says, “Don’t live in your past!” There is no gain in thinking about your past and having sorrow. We may feel unhappy about our pasts because we have missed several things which could have been accomplished in our pasts! In reality, we may not be able to fulfill each and everything that we plan but if we don’t have proper plans and enthusiasm then we will surely miss things and moments of our lives, that will lead us to feel unhappy about our pasts.

If you are employed and you are not the CEO, then it is clearly obvious that you must report to your management, in other words, you are managed by them. Many administrators (both in government and private sector) have managerial responsibilities. Many professions have various types of managerial responsibilities as well as capacities. Engineers, doctors, university administrators, professors, school principals and many other professionals get the opportunity to manage their subordinates at a certain level of their professions. So, it is very important these managers know how to be successful in managing people![...more]Do we have a habit of giving honest feedback?Almost all of us like others praising us; on the other hand, many of us

Parents are advised to appreciate their children after a good work that
they have done. It is a morale booster. It is natural that all human
beings like praising. But in reality, we don’t find appraisals all the
time. In a nutshell, we need feedback on our work, our behavior, and our
attitudes to develop ourselves. To build up a good personality and
character feedback is essential. Accepting honest feedback is our duty.
Acting upon those feedback are our responsibility.[...more] Is the first impression, the one that matters?If you are foreign to an environment where you had never been, you are nervous as well as the people who were there before your arrival, are also nervous until they come to know who you are?
