At last Miss. Vallathol has decided to say "oh, what the heck. I will do it anyway" to blogging. High time I got rid of the all-pervading insecurities imposed by the ever-present introspective attitude of "should I say it? am I saying it correctly? -- what might the reader think?" .
Whatever you might think, make sure you put it down as comments. Sometimes the shortest of comments creates a world of difference to an average human being's main channel of thinking.
Used to be a big-time fan of Jack Welch's six-sigma strategies, till Herur Sir asked a very simple question to us during Corporate Strategy case discussion sessions -- "what if Welch's strategy had gone wrong? Would we still have accepted it to be right?" -- the perpetual "what if", which ceases to exist in times such as recession and downturn or whatever that is bad. As Sir himself oft says "any decision that you take during such times will be right -- cause the time is bad anyway -- You dont have better options" .
So, does that mean it might be a good idea to take over helms when times are bad -- cause you know nobody is gonna do a better job anyway? Well then, I guess Obama choose the right time to be President of America.
