Dear friends, Here is my book on management, Strategy & Leadership (310 pages of standard size book), collection of articles and white papers, I wrote over last ten years of my consulting and training. Many of these are more like brief case studies of some of my consulting projects with few of the leading organizations in India. Charles Handy, one of the most prominent thinkers of management, freelance consultant, author of best sellers like – Age of unreason etc., and former professor of London Business School said “I came to study organization and behavioural science expecting certainty, but I was disillusioned. … I found too often ponderous confirmation of obvious and weighty investigation of trivia”. Then he reconciles with why such study as management would be worth. On a more reasonable plain he concluded that study of management is insightful; help predict trends when organizational phenomena are given contextual interpretations much like the historians do. I am not too sure if my articles are any less disillusioning, especially if you are looking for precise how-to-dos; No these won’t tell you how to exactly implement strategy and make an organizational strategy plan.
Nor will these tell you, how to become a great leader by reading these or produce great leaders in an organization. But these can certainly provide insightful information about what did my clients do when they were faced with a myriad web of strategic choices such as those, how did they wade through those to pick the right ones, or create an action plan, how the top leaders arrived at way to communicate something which was hitherto only mist of knowledge thrown about loosely with vagueness sufficient enough to scare any action on that by any leader at any level.
As generally the case with most of such writings, and you should pardon the authors for that, and hence pardon me too - due to sensitivity attached to such, as much is disclosed to provide insights as is hidden to conceal the sensitivity of the data which can certainly make significant part untold and hence lesson incomplete enough to make it dangerous to try on your own without a proper counsel.
I can only hope you will find it useful.
