Why A Goliath Turns Me-Too?

In business, growth does not happen by just hoping for it. Growth is an incremental process and it rarely happens overnight. For every enterprise growth takes time and prodigious efforts.

The accidental day off and solitary caging led me to think about apparent leadership compromises in one of my client organizations. Over the past few consulting years, I have observed the agonising disintegration in the quality of leadership courage in several Indian ... Read More
