Dear HR Professionals, 

There's something interesting i read through yesterday and thought of sharing with you all. A book which one can possess. Here it goes.... a brief summary: 

"Light the fire in your heart By Debashis Chatterjee".

Practice Points:

1.Identify with something bigger than just your career or professional goal. The more we concentrate on limited things the narrower our identity becomes.

2.To cultivate the law of one-pointed attention by taking up just one thought or idea in the morning & reflecting it for some time.

3.Creativity comes from doing ordinary things differently. It also comes from doing different things - like multi-tasking. Sometimes, the way we organize our desk in the morning can bring a creative spark to our day. Just placing a fresh flower in a vase on our
table can make this happen.

4.Leaders cannot afford to lose sight of reality. Whenever you are judgmental about yourself or about someone else just take a deep breath and ask "Is it real?" .

5.Deep breathing helps in infusing more vitality into our life as well as into our thinking process. You can breathe as many as three times per second. Just do it for fifteen seconds. You will immediately experience heightened energy in your nervous system, increased alertness in your mind and more vitality in your body.

6.Very often we undermine our own actions by talking about what we intend to do. Please remember what Lou Gerstner, the CEO of IBM said: “My choice in everything is to say nothing and go do it”. When your action can speak for itself don't interrupt by talking
about it.

7.Withdraw energy from mindless activities and invest this energy in total action.

8.The only way to earn the commitment of people is to demonstrate your commitment to a cause or an ideal.

9.The most powerful way to commit an employee to an organization is to ensure that he / she is adding value to himself or herslf.

10.Create a culture of appreciation within your organization. Praise when you should, but donot overdo it. Please remember that appreciation is like perfume – meant to be gently inhaled and not be drunk.

11.Cultivate a mind that is always ready to go against its assumptions if reality so demands.

12.Evolve an attitude of holding on to your values whenever you can. Your behaviour will naturally express your determination to stick to principles.

Happy learning.
