Mind What Goes Into Your Mind
Centuries ago Gautama Buddha said, “Mind of the Man is the Man.’ Napoleon Hill wrote,” Whatever the mind of man can conceive and believe it can achieve it” and Henry Ford the great entrepreneur said, “If you think you can, you can and if you think you can’t, you can’t and either way you are right.” All these great people professed that one of the greatest powers is the power of human mind. Mind is never a problem but mindset is the problem. Psychologists say before a person attains the age of 18 on a minimum we are told 148,000 times, “You Can’t, You will not and such negative things.” These words are uttered by parents, teachers and peers without even knowing that they are destroying the mindset of people. Hence a negative mindset gets created which stops us from achieving great things in life. But how do we get the right mind set and how do we change our minds. Zig Ziglar said, ‘If you have to change yourself, change what goes into your mind.” Yes this is the most critical thing. At the age of 23 without any academic background I dreamt of becoming a trainer. When I shared this dream of mine with my friends most of them ridiculed the idea and gave me thousands of reasons on why I can’t become a speaker and trainer. One fine day I decided that I am going to stay away from all the people who told me the reasons on why I can’t and instead choose to stay with people who encouraged and inspired me. Not only that I decided that millions of times people can say, “I can’t but I can million plus 1 times that I can.” Eventually in a span of 2 years I became a speaker and trainer. In Information Technology there is a jargon which is GIGO: Garbage In, Garbage Out and same way in human psychology also there is GIGO which is Good Thoughts In and Good Actions Out. Starting from today, “Mind what goes into your Mind.” Stay away from toxic people and negative thoughts. Keep programming your mind with inspiring thoughts so that your mind is ignited. Self-programming of your mind is vital for the world can stop you only temporarily but you and you alone can stop yourself permanently. Wishing you a thoughtful and inspiring week. Loving you.

Different Strokes for Different Folks
Steve Waugh the former Australian captain famously said, “You need to treat people equally but at the same time differently.” This might sound paradoxical but he emphasised by saying that having 2 of the world’s best bowlers at his disposal he needed to treat Shane Warne differently from the way he led Glen McGrath although both of them were match winners for him. Sourav Ganguly went on record while addressing a group of young leaders that he needed to be a different leader while handling the likes of Yuvraj Singh. He goes saying that being a teenager Yuvi was fond of having fun, attending parties and sipping a drink. He needed to give freedom to him but at the same time had to look after him with an eagle eye. He quotes an incident where in the year 2000 when Champions Trophy was played at Nairobi in Kenya, Yuvi was not to be seen in his room on the evening before an important game against Australia. Instead of reporting the incident to the manager of the team he asked the security guy to take him to few prominent nightclubs where Yuvraj could be hanging around. He found the young boy sipping a drink and dancing around. Sourav patiently asked him when he plans to finish his dinner and brought him back to the hotel. As a captain he told him not to move around from the room since they had a crucial knockout match on hand against the then World Champions the next day. Ganguly checked in Yuvi’s room again by 11:00 pm to make sure that he is there in the room. Sourav goes on to say that as a leader he needed to handle players differently and says he never had to bother about preparations or discipline of a player like Rahul Dravid who knew what should be done and what ought not to be done. But he needed to manage the maverick Yuvi differently. He knew that if he had reported to the manager of the team Yuvi would not have found a spot in the playing XI for breach of discipline. Incidentally, Yuvraj scored a match winning 81 to knock the Aussies out of the tournament. That is why I say, “Different Strokes for Different Folks.” Moving away from the sports arena to the bustling corporate world Jack Welch always propagates the practice of treating people differently. You would have to give freedom to a star who is a Can Do & Will Do player and at the same time constantly challenging him/her with a tougher target. If you try to micro manage a star for sure that person would exit your team. Most leaders also suffer from “I” & “J” factor while dealing with a star performer which is insecurity and jealously. The same leader would then cry that he is unable to retain the talent while the fault squarely lies on him for not having given the independence to a star player. A star player needs to be told what is to be done and not how it needs to be done. A solid citizen who is a Can’t Do but Will Do guy needs to be coached and the participative leadership style would work. In my initial days of my sales career I had a lot of enthusiasm to perform but never knew how to handle objections and that is when my boss would show to me how I need to handle those objections. A solid citizen would need to be guided on ‘how to do’ but the leader needs to bear in mind that today’s solid citizen is a tomorrow’s star. Wasim Akram always says if Imran Khan had not taken the pain to teach him on how to bowl a Yorker his career would have ended by the year 1985 itself when he was taken to the cleaners in the slog overs. While this style of leadership would work with a solid citizen we would also have to deal with a set of people who neither can do nor would do. They need to be directed and micromanaged to get the results. Finally we would also have a set of people who were yesterday’s stars but have turned into liabilities for sheer lack of inspiration or their personal issues. They need to be counselled to ensure that they are either shaped up or shipped out from the system. I have seen reluctance from many leaders in not addressing these people and that is when we would have a situation where you would have bunch of people who Can Do but would not do and more importantly would not let others to do. This is a dangerous virus for any organization. Finally remember the myth of leadership either it is “My Way or Highway” never works. You need to know your people and lead them differently to get the results. Concept of leadership & people management always amazes me and I am sanguine it excites you too. Wishing you an awesome week. Loving you. JVC Sreeram

Attitude to Prepare to Win is more important than Attitude to Win
In the year 1998 Australian team was visiting India after having won in every place around the world. They had coined the word saying India is their Final Frontier. By the end of 1997 the champion leg spinner Shane Warne started to play his mental disintegration game against Sachin Tendulkar. Warne was quoted as saying that, “Sachin is not a great sweeper of the ball and that is going to make him struggle against his leg spin.” This is a usual tactic adopted by the Aussies to mentally disturb the opposition. It was true that Sachin was not great at playing the sweep shot till that point in time. Hence, Sachin went to the MRF Pace foundation at Chennai and asked the former Indian leg spinner L. Sivaramakrishnan to keep bowling balls outside his leg stump so that he could practice a wide range of shots from there including sweep, paddle sweep and slog sweep. Siva told him that in the actual match situation Warne would bowl onto the footmarks and there would be variable bounce and immediately Sachin using his bat created foot holes outside his batting crease so that he could practice against variable bounce. He started doing hours of practice to perfect the sweep shot. Result Sachin scored his first double ton in his first-class career when Mumbai the then Ranji Champion that year played a practice match against Australia and he followed up with a match winning century at Chennai in the 1st test. Eventually Australia lost the test series against India and then Sachin played a couple of spectacular knocks against them at Sharjah famously called as the desert storm in the April of 1998 and he singlehandedly won the tri series. Warne jokingly told the media that he was getting nightmares about Tendulkar even in his sleep for the way he played against him both dancing down the wicket and also sweeping him to perfection. Everyone has the “Attitude to Win” but passionate people have the “Attitude to Prepare to win as much as they have the Attitude to win.” It was his love for the game that made him to subordinate his likes and dislikes to prepare and practice hard to reach the Himalayan heights in his career. In my formative years as a Public Speaker I used to practice for 500 times to deliver 2 minutes speech in national conventions. Those hours of practice eventually made me a Public Speaker par excellence and win awards too. A wise man said, “The solider who sweats the maximum in the training is the one who bleeds the minimum in the war.” Either you want to become a great speaker or a champion athlete or a great singer or achieve academic excellence or become a best-selling author or achieve professional excellence the key to success is to have the attitude to prepare to win. Wishing you an awesome week. Loving you. JVC Sreeram
