The Secret




“Every human has unlimited potential. If all humans unlock their hidden potential and utilize it for the benefit of others, we can build a productive, prosperous, peaceful, and happy world.” ―Professor M.S. Rao


During the global lockdown, I viewed the documentary ‘The Secret’ on Netflix on July 19, 2020. I enjoyed it thoroughly as the theme aligns with my award-winning book ‘Spark: The Power to Become Big is Within You.’ https://www.amazon.com/Spark-Power-Become-Big-Within-ebook/dp/B07P64KDF3 and https://www.amazon.in/Spark-Power-Become-Big-Within-ebook/dp/B07P64KDF3 It is about the law of attraction, positivity, and creating inner environment and happiness to create external happiness and bliss. It outlines interviews of eminent authors and philosophers on self-help, positive psychology, and mindfulness. It unveils the secrets to unlimited joy, health, money, relationships, and love.

In the past, leaders kept their secrets within themselves to retain power, unlike the present leaders share their secrets with others to make a difference in the lives of others. Additionally, the technology helped people connect with others quickly and share their knowledge with others openly and freely.

Here are some messages from it. Ask, believe, and receive. Don’t delay, don’t doubt. Understand the power of visualization. Life is meant to be abundant in all areas. You become what you think.  Use messages such as ‘thank you for healing’. Avoid repeating negative words and statements. Instead, use positive words and messages. Everything in the universe is energy. The power within you is greater than the power outside. Every human has unlimited potential. If all humans unlock their hidden potential and utilize it for the benefit of others, we can build a productive, prosperous, peaceful, and happy world.

Inner happiness is the fuel to your success. Remember that you were born to add value to the world. You are the creator of your own destiny.


"Be grateful for what you have now. As you begin to think about all the things in your life you are grateful for, you will be amazed at the never-ending thoughts that come back to you of more things to be grateful for. You have to make a start, and then the law of attraction will receive those grateful thoughts and give you more just like them." ―Rhonda Byrne, The Secret

You Have the Power to Heal




“You have the power to heal. Take an internal picture of your illness and convert it into wellness with the power of your subconscious mind and visualization.” ―Professor M.S. Rao


During the global lockdown, I watched the documentary HEAL on Netflix. I enjoyed it thoroughly as the theme aligns with my award-winning book ‘See the Light in You.’ https://www.amazon.com/See-Light-You-Spiritual-Mindfulness/dp/1949003132  It emphasizes mind over matter and explains the connection between mind and body. It unveils that you can heal illness and diseases with the power of your mind and visualization. There are various types of meditation such as self-reflection, self-questioning, mindfulness, and transcendence. Meditation helps relieve stress. Choose the right diet to heal your diseases.

Believe in the power of miracles. Prayer gives you energy. Visualization is a healing journey. Surround with positive people and healthy people who can elevate you mentally and emotionally. Appreciation and gratitude can cure illness and disease. Whether your life is beautiful or terrible it is in your mind. It implores you to emphasize inner energy and the environment to keep yourself free from illness and disease.


Conclusion

The Quick-fix model doesn't work. You must get into the root of the problem to find the solutions. Don’t ever give up. The human body is capable of miracles. Detox your environment. Have faith in God or medicine or body or have faith all the three to keep yourself healthy and happy. Every day meet someone who beat the odds as they provide you with their life stories. Follow these messages to lead a happy and healthy life.  


“You have the power to heal your life, and you need to know that. We think so often that we are helpless, but we're not. We always have the power of our minds…Claim and consciously use your power.” ―Louise L. Hay

How To Manage Generational Diversity In The Workplace?




"That which seems the height of absurdity in one generation often becomes the height of wisdom in another." ―Adlai E. Stevenson


There are often conflicts between various generations in the workplace due to generational gap. In this regard, we will discuss various generational cohorts and offer tools and techniques to build generational compatibility among various generations in the workplace to achieve productivity and performance.  

It is essential to apply different strokes to different generations. Several generational cohorts are working in organizations including baby boomers, GenX, GenY (millennials), and Gen Z. Gen Z is the recent entrants into the workplace. The Gen Y and Gen Z appreciate soft leadership, unlike older generations who prefer other leadership styles.


Strategies to Lead Generational Diversity

“Everyone has something to teach and everyone has something to learn.” —Desmond Tutu

Generational diversity helps empathize with each generation and learn various aspects without any ego. It offers opportunities such as innovation and creativity exploring simple solutions to complex issues in the workplace. To lead generational diversity, let us look at the similarities, not differences. Let us treat different generations as different flowers in a bouquet that add beauty and spread fragrance. Let us change our perceptions about generations from conflicts to collaboration. Let us understand the aspirations and expectations of each generation and customize leadership strategies accordingly. Here are some strategies to lead generational diversity in the workplace. Avoid stereotyping each generation. View from a fresh perspective. Customize communication as per each generation. For instance, millennials prefer working remotely and communicating through texting whereas the older generations prefer working in the office and communicating through telephone. Build mixed teams of various generational cohorts to build chemistry among them. Encourage reverse mentoring where millennials mentor the older generations. Reverse mentoring is advisable especially in the area of Artificial Intelligence and Fourth Industrial Revolution. It helps the older generations learn and adapt to the latest technology. They also thank millennials for sharing their knowledge. Customize the method of giving feedback to each generation. Offer cross-generational coaching and mentoring.  Above all, break barriers and build bridges to lead generational diversity in the workplace. 


Conclusion

“Be kind, don't judge, and have respect for others. If we can all do this, the world would be a better place. The point is to teach this to the next generation.” ― Jasmine Guinness

Each generational cohort has a different mindset, skillset, and toolset. Leaders will be able to create a unique mindset, skillset, and toolset by bridging the gap between various generational cohorts. To conclude, build generational compatibility in the workplace to achieve organizational excellence and effectiveness.


“The error of youth is to believe that intelligence is a substitute for experience, while the error of age is to believe experience is a substitute for intelligence.” ―Ernest Hemingway

Doing the Best Thing vs. Doing the Right Thing




“Do the right thing. It will gratify some people and astonish the rest.” —Mark Twain


People are often caught between doing the best thing and doing the right thing. Some people think of doing the best thing in the prevailing situation whereas some people think of doing the right thing in any situation irrespective of the effects and outcomes. I believe that doing the right thing is always better than doing the best thing in life and leadership. In this regard, we will discuss and differentiate between them.

Doing the right thing rather than the best thing is easier said done because the path is riddled with several challenges inviting controversies temporarily. The fact is that truth alone triumphs at the end. Hence, doing the right thing pays at the end. It helps you lead your life ethically and mindfully. You live like a legend permanently.  

When you insist on doing the best thing, you may be compelled to cut corners to achieve your ends whereas when you insist on doing the right thing, you don’t have to cut corners. However, you will have to struggle and suffer during the journey. There are people who achieve success at any cost due to peer pressure and cut-throat competition. People are smart and wise to identify such people and separate them from ethical leaders. There are people who achieve success late in their lives through the right means by ignoring peer pressure and cut-throat competition. In a nutshell, they achieve success with integrity. Such people live beyond their lifetime and will be remembered forever in history.

Always do the right thing at the right time to get the right results. You must have the wisdom of identifying the right time and timing to achieve the right outcomes. When you do the right thing, you get satisfied with your life and you sleep peacefully and happily. You won’t have any regrets on the death-bed. Remember that treachery wins first and the truth wins at the end. When you want the truth to win, you must always do the right thing and the best thing in your life.

When your intentions are positive and actions are ethical you will be able to do the right things in life. Ensure that there is consistency between your intentions and actions while doing the right things to get the right results.


Message

Do the right thing rather than the best thing. If you can do both the right thing and the best thing, it is alright. Otherwise, always do the right thing to lead your life with purpose and meaning. 

We humans can control our actions, not the outcomes. Therefore, we must do what is the right thing to do in the given circumstances irrespective of the outcomes. Life is short. We must make it peaceful and pleasant for us and others.


“The supreme quality for leadership is integrity.” —Dwight D. Eisenhower

Words of Wisdom on Soft Skills, Hard Skills, and Humility




“The greatest friend of truth is Time, her greatest enemy is Prejudice, and her constant companion is Humility.” —Charles Caleb Colton






Soft Skills in the Post-Pandemic World

In the post-COVID world, there will be less physical interaction among the employees as they operate more virtually. Interpersonal conflicts are likely to rise due to technology. Team leaders may find it challenging to lead their teams. It becomes challenging for them to motivate their teams. So, there will be an increased emphasis on soft skills in the digital world.


“Humility is the base and foundation of all virtues, and without it, no other virtue can exist.” —Cervantes
