Our personalities are the key to finding out what kind of time
manager we are. Whether we tend to do too much or too little,
overwork or underwork, buzz around like a bee or freeze through
procrastination, all comes down to one thing: which of the
following Time Travellers are you?
1. The Perfectionist. The Perfectionist is one of the
worst examples of a workaholic. They fill up their days with
work activities in the belief that everything they do has to be
as perfect as possible. George Bernard Shaw was a typical

| Article Title :: The Value of Values |
| |
|
One of the toughest jobs a leader has to perform is to act as
guardian of an organisation's values.
An organisation's values are the things that are really
important to it.
In the early days of an enterprise, the values are sometimes the
only thing that keeps the business going. When other factors
make the chances of survival doubtful, such as funds, markets,
and technology, it is the set of beliefs held by the original
founders which pull the business through. The beliefs of the
organization are almost always the beliefs of the original
leaders.
These beliefs are intangible. Think of Unilever's belief in
co-operation, or Mars's belief in efficiency, or IBM's belief in
innovation, or He (read full article) |

| Article Title :: Mission: How Leaders Create The Greatest Version Of What You Can
Be |
| |
|
A statement of mission is one of the most powerful things you
can do, whether you are running a major corporation or a small
team. It expresses the purpose for the organisation's existence,
its raison d'etre, and becomes the rallying point around which
everyone can unite.
Often managers create mission statements because they think they
should and then leave them gathering dust on the shelf. But this
is to mistake the real power and purpose of mission statements.
If put together with real understanding of what a group of
people can achieve, they can act like irresistible magnets
drawing everyone in the same direction.
It is one of the core roles of leaders, whether at the top of
the organ (read full article) |

| Article Title :: The Difference Between Managers and Leaders |
| |
|
It is often difficult to understand the difference between
managers and leaders. Do managers lead? Do leaders manage? To
understand how these two concepts are distinct yet different,
here are 7 ways to understand them.
1. Course and Steering. The word "leadership" comes from
the Old English word "lad" for a "course". A "lode" is a vein
that leads or guides to ore; a lodestone is a magnetic stone
that guides; the lode-star is the name for the star that guides
sailors, the Pole star. The word "management" comes from the
Latin word "manus", the hand, from which we also get
"maintenance" and "mainstay". Leadership guides by setting a
ship's course. Management keeps a hand on the tiller. (read full article) |

Organizations are complex entities, encompassing in them various
elements, both external and internal in nature. To incorporate
these various elements in a organization so that it functions at
a optimum level requires a organizational structure, which takes
in to account the functioning of these internal and external
