Dr APJ Abdul Kalam, Former President of India:

YOU say that our Government is inefficient.
YOU say that our laws are too old.
YOU say that the municipality does not pick up the garbage.
YOU say that the phones don't work, the railways are a joke. The airline is the worst in the world, mails never reach their destination.
YOU say that our country has been fed to the dogs and is the absolute pits.
YOU say that the System is corrupt. In such a dealing, Someone Gives, the Other Takes, both are to equally blame.

YOU say, say and say.

What is Your Role? And what do YOU do about it?

Leadership: A New Age Leader


We all need to lead on occasions, within family and organisations. Leadership is built on strong foundation of 'personality traits'. These traits are a complex mix, but can be refined and fine-tuned provided we are willing to learn. We learn in all stages of our life. The day we stop learning, it marks an end of our being.

Next-Gen learns from us unconsciously, especially from the parents & elders. It is here that our 'doings' affect them in life, positively or negatively. It is important that we are cautious of this fact in our day-to-day conduct.

Next-Gen is well-informed and critical at times, sometimes without knowing the facts. But they are the future - future of our social milieu. We need to groom and develop them well as a valuable part of our Social System; Sector concerns are then automatically taken care of.

Let Us endeavour to follow the nuances of a 'New Age Leader' in the spirit of the above Article, and develop 'persuasive leadership style' catering to 'individuals' we are dealing with.
