Adding
Often we aspire to add many things to our (already packed) routine / regime.. The hard reality though, is that unless we subtract something, it is difficult to add anything..
Leadership
Plan
We spend lot of time thinking and planning ‘what to do’. Also important is to think and plan ‘what to stop doing / what not to do’…
Leader
When you become a leader success is all about growing others – Jack Welch. Growing others – while at that, demonstration helps.. Walking the talk, aligning thoughts, words and actions.. So relevant, in this journey.

Reflection
Reflection. Truthful tool in one’s journey. Do I reflect enough? Am I reflecting too much?? Helps in bringing about the highest and the best in us.
