In this podcast, I talk about - Driving Success Through Situational Awareness
Situational Awareness - In very simple terms it means, being aware of everything going on around us. This concept has been around for decades and has been used widely in aviation and the military. However, it has great application in the corporate world too.
It means you are able to perceive, understand, and are able to predict the impact of the change. The key element is time, which means the faster you predict the safer you are.

If you want to accomplish #exceptional things, then you have to go beyond your comfort zone. You won't get anywhere by doing what you are used to. You need to go beyond what you think you can do to see your full potential. When you choose to remain in your comfort zone then you will never see progress.Β
You need to go beyond what you know to achieve success and be better. Growth only happens when we try something unconventional.

To buy the corporate Chanakya: https://amzn.to/3eyqtjJ
We are often stuck with the dilemma of how to get the work done? What is the best way to drive the workforce? A long time ago, the author of Arthasastra, Chanakya the great and in recent past Radhakrishnan Pillai who interpreted and made the scripture easy to understand in his book called Corporate Chanakya, has explained the following three modes.
Instigation,
Motivation,
Inspiration.
I donβt believe that there is any one way to get the work done, we need to come up with a formula with variables like Instigation, Motivation, and Inspiration. We need to read the team and their needs and then balance the values of each variable to get the right results.

Don't run away from your vulnerability, face it. Worst case, you will have learning from it. Which is not a bad thing. Being vulnerable shows that you are open to others for help, it lets others get an opportunity to support you and helps in building trust.
