I assume the betting racket is still haunting the Indian cricket team.
sujit Kumar  |  Answered  |  2 years ago
Not really. Consistently winning t20 is a different thing when u see aussies too going out of the pack. Again if you think t20 is just a game I think again Indians are equally good. They lack professionalism because of lesser pay in games other...

Sujit bad manners to modify your answer after a comment is made on it. You should behave like a professional and post a second answer.

Few would dispute the power that a true friendship has to enrich our lives. But what role should friendship play in the workplace? Is it smarter to keep your personal and professional lives separate or to purposely seek out and cultivate friendships on the job? The Pros and Cons Dr. Jan Yager , author of Friendshifts: The Power of Friendship and How It Shapes Our Lives , has found that workplace friendships can have a profound effect on your career. A friend on the job can let you in on the inner workings of your company or field, provide feedback on your performance or act as a sounding board. Having a buddy at work can make a job more enjoyable, even enhancing your creativity and producti...

2 Enthusiam and discipline of every participant.
Vinay Pandey  |  Added idea  "Enthusiam and discipline of every participant."  |  2 years ago
 I don't find any good reason for team restricted to number of people, unless you fall short of people with management skill. Team size never matters as long as you can manage them and every participant in the team has enthusiasm for his/her work...

This is the probably the best method to reduce stress. A time out facilitates better understanding of unknown personal problems of the colleague and it creates a medium for him to converse freely. he gets acquainted with others who manage stress...

trust comes after an agreement of a common goal .... its like a family that is dispersed .. and ppl of the family need to think of the wel being of the family

The other day I was in a restaurant and saw a sign advertising "Sliders Fridays." From what I gathered, they offered a deep discount on tiny hamburgers, called sliders, on Friday nights. The interesting thing about this discovery is that I own the restaurant and it's the first I knew of it. (Stacey's at Waterford:  www.eatatstaceys.com ) I don't just own the restaurant. I also manage it, although I use that term loosely. I've taken the concept of hands-off management to the next level. Most of the time I have no idea what the staff is up to. They organize customer events, execute marketing ideas, hire and fire, change the menu, and pretty much anything else they want. I only get involved if there is a largish expense that needs to be approved. I see the financials daily, by e-mail, but I'm mostly about the bottom line. As a well-known critic of managers, I painted a big red bulls eye on my back when I started managing the restaurant. For the first year I was involved in the details...

A young woman was picked up in a car outside a night club and raped at gunpoint by five men as they drove around the Maidan after midnight on February 5. They shoved a pistol into her mouth and punched and kicked her, saying "Chillaogi to thok denge (We will shoot you if you scream)." She was dumped at Exide crossing about 90 minutes later, torn, bloodied and battered. If this sends a chill down your spine, here's worse - the police ignored her complaints when she mustered courage to report the incident two days later and even mocked her for going to a night club. Two officers allegedly passed sleazy remarks at her at Park Street police station, when she was summoned for a forensic examination on February 14. And, it was a male police officer who 'escorted' her to the test, rather than a policewoman. The victim is still determined to fight back and trawled Facebook to get the names and photographs of the suspects, but the police brushed it off. They did not even ask her for the...
