EMERGENCE OF A NEW MEDIA WARFARE !

Shameful, sham, hypocrisy, media Mafiadom by channel group that self appointed itself as India’s only ‘organised, professionally orchestrated electronic news channel ‘ that can be equated with America’s CNN, BBC, FOX, SKY and what have you.
Come to think of it..and if you take a macro level look, this is no sporadic case of corporate bullying . Its a first ever symbolic case of one media trying to suppress and challenge the firepower and impact of the other. It’s just not burkha dutt / NDTV vs CHETANYA KUNTE. Take A broader look guys . Its much more than what it appears to be.It’s a first ever media war trying to prove respective mights between electronic elevision Baed news media vs, the neo natal Internet ..to be specific The blog media or the might of the bloggers. Television channels have relized or will soon realize the tremendous fire power and capabilities of organised bloggers who can break the syndicate and monopoly of news channels. What this actually means is all thats shoved ino us by Television channels can now easily be chalenged with more facts and open ended views of countless bloggers , who can chain react a massive public awareness drive giving the top ended readers the other sides of the story.
Lets leave Burkha or no Burkha suue. Lets look at this issue fromm a 360 degree. i think its the first ever reported case of two channels fighting it out . Interesting.
At the same time , I personally condemn the irresponsible gesture adopted by no one else but NDTV. supposedly a mature News Channel of the country. As For Burkha, I personally hold her amongst the top nes media professionals of India. What baffles me is NDTV AND Burkha’s decision of going legal after a Harmless individual. Had it been a corporate group or an entity of a considerable size, it could have been still understandable. By sueing chetanya, NDTV Has so daftly demonstrated their myopic vision and insecurity. Without a doubt Burkha has covered some unprecedented missions and with brilliance. This includes 26 x 11.
sad ! the entire sanctity of a serious channel like NDTV got washed for an avoidable issue that could easily have been ignored and passed of as insignificatnt by ndtv. what surprises me more is the insecurity of such a gigantic and well established channel who’s led by no other icons on indian media than Dr. Pranoy Roy. The bhishma Pitamaha of Indian electronic media. But Like i said. all this should not be seen with myopic vision. its not about barkha vs chetanya. Its the outbreak / begioning of two mighty media of the democratic turf of India . Dr. Roy. are you listening :)

WHY TRUST IS SO IMPORTANT IN BUSINESS AND CAREER

Organizations characterized by a high degree of trust are often the most successful. Trust is a big deal in workplaces. If I only had a dime for every time someone said, “I don’t trust so and so” in my coaching work! The word trust means many different things, depending on whom you ask. In my management training, I ask participants to write down 10 words that equate to what trust means to them. I typically get more than 100 different responses. Answers range from integrity, confidence, moral values and predictability to being able to count on someone. When it comes to high-performing teams, I equate trust to someone’s willingness to be open, exposed and “vulnerable.” No matter the definition, one thing everyone agrees on — trust must be earned and it’s much harder to earn than it is to lose. Developing and maintaining trust is critical to success in your career, workplace teams, leadership and business. Trust is the foundation for all things good in workplaces. I ...

KEEP IT SIMPLE SWEATHERT

Avoid micro-management at all costs "I recently flipped through the declassified 'Simple Sabotage Field Manual', published in 1944 by the US Office of Strategic Services, the predecessor to the CIA. It lists numerous strategies that saboteurs in business environments can use to derail progress. Surprisingly, many of those tactics are being used in offices around the world today! "For instance, the manual instructs saboteurs who have infiltrated organisations to "insist on doing everything through channels. Never permit short-cuts to be taken in order to expedite decisions". "It also advocates for being extra cautious and advises that every decision be referred to committees. Managers are advised to "Multiply the procedures and clearances involved in issuing instructions... See that three people have to approve everything where one would do." These instructions might sound outdated, but they’re timeless. 2. Make your ideas fit on the back ...

Why We Need to Watch Leslee Udwin's Documentary India's Daughter

An illogical, misguided outrage has gripped India. Indignant people are railing against a rapist given primetime TV slots, so the country can know his point of view. How is it -- angry people are demanding -- that channels be so TRP hungry, they're willing to allow this disturbed man's innermost thoughts be broadcast on TV? What do they hope to get from this, other than insult the memory of the one who has been immortalised (against her wishes) as India's Braveheart? #nirbhayainsulted they hashtagged, when we gave her rapist so much publicity. So, you are outraged that a documentary on rapists has been made, and is being broadcast. You, and your sensibilities, count themselves among luminaries in the feminist movement, the government, other activists and lawyers. You think the FIR filed by the police saying this film "contains offensive content which should not be broadcast in the interest of maintaining public order," is absolutely correct, and this kind of free...
