April 26, 2013 Leave a comment

Here is the most interesting takeaway I have from following the Saradha Realty Case so far: sudipta-sen-letter-to-cbi

There is no way to conclude that this letter-bomb is the whole truth.Nor can we conclude that it is not a way to manipulate the reaction of people in high places,but this letter makes for interesting reading.Do read it.At the very least it will give you a feel of real life business in India at the few hundred crore level.Now wouldn’t it be interesting to have a peek at business at higher levels?

Strategic Giving

April 4, 2013 1 Comment

Adam Grant, 31, is the youngest-tenured and highest rated professor at Wharton.He is the author of a new book titled “Give and Take – A Revolutionary Approach to Success” which will be released on April 9.

Grant’s research divides people into three categories:

Givers: Give without expectation of immediate gain; they never seem too busy to help.
Matchers: Go through life with a master chit list in mind, giving when they see how they will get something of equal value back and to people who can help them.
Takers: Seek to come out ahead in every exchange; they manage up and are defensive about their turn

Most people fall into the matcher category — but givers, Grant says, are over represented at both ends of the spectrum of success: they are the doormats who go nowhere or burn out, and they are the stars whose giving motivates them or distinguishes them as leaders.

Much of Grant’s book sets out to establish the difference between the givers who are exploited and those who end up as models of achievement. The most successful givers, Grant explains, are those who rate high in concern for others but also in self-interest. And they are strategic in their giving — they give to other givers and matchers, so that their work has the maximum desired effect; they are cautious about giving to takers; they give in ways that reinforce their social ties; and they consolidate their giving into chunks, so that the impact is intense enough to be gratifying.
