Very very long time

since I have been here. Things have changed a lot all around. I am sure things would have been different for all of you too and wish them to be on your positive side.

There is a lot of buzz turning around of the financial turmoil. Economies are not shrinking anymore, if not expanding. Protectionist restriction threads by governments are loosening one-by-one. And the general sentiment says: look there, it’s bright sunshine.
Charmed??

As for a manager, team is just looking into their world right here, right now. With all their frustrations of last two years, asking them to hold back for that dawn to hit, is getting on to a little too much. There are questions, not easy to answer or may be no answer to some of them.

Managers are out and leaders come in here. Don’t ask me, look at wiki for the difference between the two. Teams are looking for  directions from their leaders. Someone who can cheer them up with a smile. I know they are not kids anymore but…..………. everybody needs mentoring. Industry is looking up to its leaders who can mentor teams to think positive, work positive, lead them out of the past frustrations and make them ready for the cycle that is looking upward.
Who can be that change, that leader to make this change happen. Are they different from us? No they are among us. The human breed has always come back when pushed to wall and it is no different this time either. I have seen a couple of them around me, working hard, upping the tempo in team and all that with a smile. Three cheers to them and to all of you ready to bounce back with a vengeance.
