Democratising Leadershing studies : A review of Sangeeth Verghese's book, 'Decide to Lead' by Rajashekhar Devarai (lotus5673@yahoo.co.in)
November 1
2011
The Book 'Decide to Lead' is an unusual kind of a reading by Sangeeth Varfghese a Leadership Thinker from London School of Economics.  He has Started 'Leadcap' what is popularly committed to democratize leadership thinking in India.  The beauty of  the deliberation is that it is different from the popular presentations on the phenomenon of Leadership.  It draws on popular fables, a biography and a set of quotations.  It is quite an unique style of Sangeeth in explaining what makes a Leaders.  The contents of the book could be summarized by the five steps and nine decisions that puts forth. : 1. Take the Lead : First decision : Answer the deciding moment, 2. Rally a Vision : Second Decision : Bye low and sell high, Third Decision : Embrace high risks to reap high Returns, Fourth Decision : Focus sharper to impact Greater, 3.  Communicate and Motivate : Fifth Decision : Sell well to Do well, Sixth Decision : Set high expectations to gain high performance, 4. Deliver Results : Seventh Decision : Grow to Survive, Eighth Decision : Run to Win, 5. Lead for ever : Ninth Decision : Live on to Leave a Legacy. ……………… It is a good read to  for any one who is all out to do something significant, who is bent upon creating a difference.  Some  or the other I am sure one has read this book once will return back to read the book once again., somewhere some times.  Let us decide,  let us resolve to be democratic in sharing Leadership Thinking.  Best wishes, enkindle the Leader in you. – Rajashekhar Devarai, Chief Librarian, Asian School of Business Management, Bhubaneswar.

Access The 'Back-Door' Of Your Mind

Are you still smoking, overweight, low on energy, unable to find that special someone?...

Are you overworked and underpaid, stressed out all the time, or cursed with little self confidence?...
What if I told you there was a way you could solve these problems (and more) with only a click of one button, sitting right there in front of your computer, would you be interested?

Imagine with me for a moment you are having some problem in your life, whether it's an addiction to food or drugs, depression over the loss of a loved one, financial insecurity, whatever it might be...

Now here you are sitting down at your computer. You flip the switch on a little piece of software, pinpoint the exact change you want to make in your life, then you hit the "start" button.

That's it.

From that point forward, you work on your computer as you always have and in the background that software is silently running, causing you to magically change for the better, working on the specific problem area you want to change most -- then changing it for you without you lifting a finger.

Sounds too good to be true, I realize. But before you go clicking the "back" button, let me assure you this is not some fairy tale. This software is the real deal, and if you'll open your mind with me for the next few minutes I will show you how it can work for you just like it's worked for countless others.

  I was skeptical just like you once, but my problems far outweighed my doubt...
Just a few short years ago, I was winning at life. I had a healthy daily routine which involved exercise and eating right, along with a fulfilling career.

One tragic life event later and I'm looking in the mirror at an overweight, pack and a half per day smoker with little confidence who's not so thrilled with his life anymore.

I desperately needed a change.

So I started searching the Internet and buying up all the "self help" material I could find, but each "method" I tried ended with little or no results.

Throughout my trials and frustrations I learned some important facts:

Each cigarette I smoked reduced my life by an average of 11 minutes!

Over HALF of long-term smokers will die a tobacco related death!

Over 70% of Cardiovascular disease is directly related to obesity!

Stress is the #1 KILLER of middle-aged adults!

To my despair, I realized I was headed down a dark and destructive path. But instead of turning to cigarettes and food to ease my pain, I made a vow to change.

They say when we make a true commitment the right people, places, and events fall magically into place, and that's exactly what happened for me.

Fast forward a few months later and I was given the privilege to learn about hypno-therapy and the power of the subconscience mind. Over the weeks to come I learned ways to program myself and my thinking that resulted in dramatic positive change across every aspect of my entire life.

First and foremost I was able to quit smoking. I lost over 60 pounds and I was exercising again. I was in a new and exciting relationship, my career was taking off, things couldn't have been better.

From the outside looking in, life was a box of chocolates. But for some reason I still wasn't completely happy and fulfilled. It's as though no matter how hard I tried, there was still something missing.

Then it hit me. In order for me to truly be happy, I had to reach out and help other people, giving back all that I had learned. For once in my life I was on a mission:

To create the ultimate program that would entwine the mystery of hypno-therapy and the power of the subconscience mind in such a
way that ANYONE truly could change ANY area of their life...
...once and for all -- with no gimmicks, just results!

And that's what I did.

But unlike "therapy", I am talking about a different approach to therapy, a backdoor to the mind...

Allow me to introduce the Hypno-Doctor and how this simple program can bypass the conscious mind and DIRECTLY ACCESS the subconscious mind with ...Subliminal Technology!!!
Like magic you will easily be able to:

      Learn how you can quit smoking and lose weight at the same time.

      Dramatically increase your energy level without using harmful drugs.

      Short circuit any craving you're having...chocolate, cigarettes, doesn't matter!

      Discover insider secrets to creating financial freedom for yourself and your family.

      Get more dates than ever before without even trying.

      Quickly melt away stress and enjoy life, effortlessly, watch it disappear.

      Become the smartest person you know by increasing your IQ up to 20 points.

      Discover how happy married couples stay connected to each other on a new level.

      Learn how to double your productivity by cutting your study time in half.

      Have "the best" night's sleep you've ever experienced, waking up more revitalized.

      Finally have peace of mind by silencing the inner voice of negativity.

      Make one tiny little change that can help you regain control of your life.

............ i wanted a perfect ending.........!!!!!!!!!! Gilda Radner ......... http://www.goodreads.com/quotes/tag/uncertainty

"I wanted a perfect ending. Now I've learned, the hard way, that some poems don't rhyme, and some stories don't have a clear beginning, middle, and end. Life is about not knowing, having to change, taking the moment and making the best of it, without knowing what's going to happen next.
Delicious Ambiguity."

Suma Chitnis’s M.N.Srinivas Memorial Lecture : A Sociological Narrative worth reading! A Review



Suma Chitnis’s M.N.Srinivas Memorial Lecture : A Sociological Narrative worth reading!
A Review

Rajashekhar Devarai
10/26/2011


This is a reflection of a practicing librarian on M.N.Srinivas Memorial Lecture delivered by sociologist Suma Chitnis at Cuttuck. Citation : Suma Chitnis/Lessons from the field (M.N.Srinivas Memorial lecture delivered at Indian Sociological Society Conference at Revenshaw University, Cuttack 02-12-2010), Sociological Bulletin 60(2), May-August 2011.




For over 15 years or so I have been a life member of Indian Sociological Society. I get news letters and Sociological bulletins regularly wherever I happen to be.  Inspite of undoubted interest in the discipline of Sociology I opted to be a Librarian some 26 years ago.  But my fascination for sociological imagination has not faded to this day.  I would not read every thing that is published in Sociological Bulletin, but venture to read, glance atleast some papers now and then.  So for long I have opted to call myself as a student of Sociology.  My feed back to Sociology? Nothing except reading Sociology now and then and publishing two papers  (reviews) on Sociology of Library profession.
Any way coming to the lecture delivered by Prof.Suma Chitnis I have heard of her as a Sociologist, as a researcher on, “Teaching as a profession.”  Anyone coming closer to the studies on professions draws my attention and more so if it happens to be a sociologist.  Prof.Ambarao Uplaonkar (Gulbarga) used to talk about professor Suma often.
Prof.Suma starts her lecture by acknowledging M.N.Srinivas as a profound scholar, an excellent researcher and a great teacher and mentor.  Incidentally I happened to work on the bibliometrics and informetrics of writings / publications of Srinivas. It was my privilege to get a brief biography and list of papers and other publications personally from him. Unfortunately I could not communicate / send him a copy of the published paper.  After retirement from active service the many an academician / academic administrator become more matured, contented and worth emulating.  Hats off, at the age of 78 Suma delivered such a thought provoking personal and touching lecture.  She has recalled her experiences as a researcher,  Teacher and Administrator at Mumbai University, Tata Institute of Social Sceinces, SNDT and Tata Endowment.  A life worth lived indeed.  At the outset the lecture looks a narrative but deep down it is indeed an eye opener for younger sociologists and professionals.  She is so frank, fair, energetic and simple in what she said.  Hope I will make it  to meet her once at Mumbai where she lives now.  It is quite unfortunate that I happen to be at Bhubaneswar and could not make it to participate in the Indian Sociological Society Conference at Cuttack.  I could have had the privilege to hear her lecture live.  Hats off madam, be happy, keep lecturing for many more years. Jai Sociology.
