saiyid safdar abbas zaidi  |  Supported idea  "transparent, nurturing talent and emotions, appreciative"  |  1 year ago
Among the subordinates there may be some “Deadwoods”.   Deadwoods are non-performers /   under performers.  They lack motivation and commitment.  They are like non-performing assets (NPAS).   NPAS   are  drain  on  the  organisations’...

Yes i agree with the fact. At the same time we need to see the nature of pressure the bosses handle i.e if we see in banking or insurance sector the pressure is immense so some time the boss can loose temper which is very understandeble.So when we say...
Ravi Chandra  |  Supported idea  "Speaking with respect is very important"  |  2 years ago
I completely agree with the thoughts that are already in. At the same time it is very important for the boss / leader to know what are the areas of involvement of the individual and the strengths / weakness of the each of them. Work with the...

Unable to attract even a single girl, frustrated man sues Axe New Delhi. In what could prove to be a major marketing and legal embarrassment for Hindustan Unilever Limited (HUL), a 26-year-old man has filed a case against the FMCG company, which owns the Axe brand of men grooming products, for ‘cheating’ and causing him ‘mental suffering’. The plaintiff has cited his failure to attract any girl at all even though he’s been using Axe products for over seven years now. Axe advertisements suggest that the products help men in instantly attracting women. Vaibhav Bedi, the petitioner, also surrendered all his used, unused and half-used deodorant sprays, perfume sticks and roll-ons, anti-perspira...

HUL must have deployed under cover agents to check on the claims of Vaibhav. If they are able to find even 1 relationship where he is seen going out with a girl his case would loose steam. they may also plant a paid girl in Vaibhav's life. Just...

Vodafone Zoozoo is off course a fantastic concept as it is easy to create that emotional association of a brand with the help of human beings but vodafone zoozoo have done it with those characters(zoozoo) which undoubtedly caught the attention of...

A classic marketing statergy. Both the service provider give the same message that they are not a regular services provider but they provide services for every occassion and our day to day need. Vodafone uses a character only for brand recall i think...
sachin  |  Argues in support of  "Vodafone Zoozoo"  |  2 years ago
I like zoozoo ads more then Airtel lovebirds. I didn't feel anything touching or making me fun and enjoying in Airtel Lovebirds.  I am vodafone customer from last 6 yrs, and i m very much satisfied with it. I vote for  zoozoo's....  :)

A classic thought i am sure this thought must be wacking the brain of the brand manager every day. Throwing some light on this topic "when a coampany or the brand reaches the top that mean that on a product life cycle graph they have reach the highest...

Dear friends on Sunday May 10,2009 the world will be celebrating and paying tribute to a very special day ' MOTHER'S DAY'.  I will be driving 40 miles to spend this day with this very special lady, my Mum.

For those of you whose mum is no longer in this world, you too can participate on this special day by reflecting on the good times you shared with your mum. For all the mums on TOOSTEP I wish you HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY. In honour of this special day I am sharing with you an article which has been circulated many times before as a reminder of our relationship with the most special person in our life 'our moth...

1 Success begets Success
2 Time and Innovativeness
Aditya Sharma  |  Added idea  "Always ready to change "  |  3 years ago
The biggest idea I think is a person should be always ready to change the very place of happening. In this case it was India in the beginning they changed it in less than 3 weeks time to SA. All other things are there as usual.
Syed Muddasar Moin  |  Added idea  |  3 years ago

Research conducted by MORI, amongst 187 senior board directors of the UK's leading companies, concluded that '94% agree that the asset which offers the greatest protection during an economic downturn is a strong brand'. There are three reasons for this: Confidence - Loyal customers retain confidence in a strong brand even when the going gets tough. Confident customers are less likely to switch brand. Risk - potential customers, staff and shareholders are more risk averse during a recession. Strong brand mitigates risk in the mind of the stakeholder. Value - Company value is more likely to remain buoyant in an economic downturn when it is supported by a strong and profitable brand. Don’t be ...
