Aarti Gupta  |  Added idea  "Rule numbers"  |  3 years ago
I think the most tough job for a lawyer is to remember the rule numbers. There are actually two dangers when lawyers reach the rule numbers. The first is that they will state the wrong number. All of us should admit that we sometimes look at the...

Success is a relative concept.  It differs from person to person.  Your success can be a defeat for someone else.  It is difficult to define success in general terms. Success must be born in the mind of somebody who really wants it.  Success is a) Reaching a stage where your dreams were pointing to b) getting what you really wanted c)Winning over your adversaries, obstacles and barriers of life.

I came through an interesting case study of Facebook.com, the famous online social networking site at present. i am impressed the way they established their site from the beginning. Facebook was launched in February 2004 by Harvard undergrad students as an alternative to the traditional student directory. Its popularity quickly spread to other colleges in the US by word of mouth, and the site now registers close to 15M monthly UVs and over 6B page views per month.Facebook is already generating significant revenue(the latest was a rumored $750M offer), so despite all the valuation and web traffic metric hype, it has also established a very real business. 1) Provide pre-existing offline community with a complementary online service. Facebook had its initial success with college students by providing an information service that was not available offline – an interactive student directory containing each student’s class schedule and social network.Before Facebook added the feature sets...

Keys to Team Building Success by Susan M. Heathfield Want to make your next team building activity or team building exercise live up to its true potential? Integrate the team building with real-time work goals. Establish a systematic workplace integration and follow-up process - before you go on the team building adventure. You need to make the good feelings and the outcomes from the team building activity last beyond the final team building exercise. Impact of Team Building Events Without this attention to integration, corporate team building or planning events are, at best, a short term boost to employee enthusiasm and positive morale. If they are planned and executed well, people feel good about themselves and about each other. Employees get to know each other better and have a common experience to talk about back at work. A frequent expectation from team building activities is that they build trust. Team building events have little to do with building trust, however, unless...

How the other’s bad behviour helps to our success?   Just sharing an experience:   I was the process owner of a project worth around Rs 14 million. It was an expansion project, coming up in the same premises. Therefore, execution team was formed from there maintenance and planning people.   Since I was involved right from the beginning of the project say planning, layout, setting up the operational specifications and specific production requirements, translation of these specifications into technical terms etc., so; I organized a meeting of concerns persons and drafted their requirement. Initially they took it as a funny part because I was so junior in-front of them. When they judged my sincere efforts, they started taking interest into the subject. Finally we nicely drafted the proposal and a project charter based on their specific requirement along with equipments layout.   And proposal hit the bull eye, Management accepted it and I became the process owner for this project. I...

His megabrand, Virgin , is home to more than 250 companies, from gyms, gambling houses and bridal boutiques to fleets of planes, trains and limousines. The man even owns his own island. And now Richard Branson is moving onward and upward into space (tourism): Virgin Galactic's Philippe Starck-designed, Burt Rutan-engineered spacecraft are slated to start carrying passengers into the thermosphere in 2009 , at $200,000 a ticket. Branson also has a philanthropic streak. He's pledged the next 10 years of profits from his transportation empire (an amount expected to reach $3 billion) to the development of renewable alternatives to carbon fuels . And then there's his Virgin Earth Challenge, which offers a $25 million prize to the first person to come up with an economically viable solution to the greenhouse gas problem.
