Acknowledge Your Cultural Bedrock Required

Culture. Almost a dirty word in many a business since the construct first began to seep into b-schools around four decades back. I myself suffered the indignity of having my detailed attempts as a cubrep to build a sales office culture of success rebuffed. With the withering denigration, ‘that’s

Any Potential Deal Of Yours Unfit?

In cricket, the statements that you were both outplayed in defeat and that the pitch was not up to standard are not contradictory. As last week’s India 3rd Test slaying of England in the world’s largest stadium at Ahmedabad showed. In the shortest match since WW2. The broadsheet
