Posted by Simba in : Uncategorized , trackbackOhhh, as I said earlier I have been reading Richard’s Branson autobiography. The making of a businessman and wow, is it interesting or what! I am absolutely loving it and can’t wait to finish that big fat book. I have seen people harp a lot about the music of the 70’s and so on. At school, almost everybody knew the hottest bands et al whereas I was happier listening to all that talk. Haha, we never even had a TV or the ‘Dish’ connection for a long time, so that left me out of the gang of music-lovers. As a young girl, somewhere in in the down south of India in a lower-middle class family, what else can you expect! 
Even now, I do not have distinct taste in music. As Branson says, “You play English music, I can just tell you whether I like it or not”. Yeah, Dont ask me about the genesis or the culture behind it! 
So, whatever little bit I know is an acquired taste.. acquired of late!
I was dreading a bad day at work today. It seems like it is not bad as I anticipated. I work with a good team but attimes, things get unrealistically out of hand. But I have seen that any problem, somehow or the other finds it way back to me. Why, who knows and I don’t like it one bit. I am not an exceptional example of leadership and I too have terrible days but taking responsibility for every single fault of every single person within the group is not me. And I have seen that once I put my foot down, things just stall. Nothing happens to the person who has defaulted. And I come out as bad person. Shucks! I always tell myself to remain calm at such times but like hell, I am anything but calm. I lose my wits & all semblance to sanity. LOL!
Hey, I am looking forward to today evening where I will get to meet some of the professors & first-year students of Fuqua. That will surely be awesome! And yup, you might just get to see a coupla snaps here! What say, Attagirl!?

What I like abt Richard Branson is that is he ambitious and has tried things that he wanted too.
Coming to leadership, I am not that experience yet but whatever team lead experience I have (both work and co-curricular) I have noticed that you need to command thier respect and alo inspire them to a point where they personally make sure that they give the best to everything you ask them to do. Its hard to put in words, but I learned it from captaining teams in cricket, college and at work.
I guess you need to serve as role model in every aspect and pls never lose your temper!!
Simba,
” - you should NEVER make a statement as that, OK? That might hurt your parents. Always remember that you owe them a lot - so much that you’d never ever repay even a fraction.
