Triumph

If we were to progress, we should adopt a positive attitude. Let us be prepared to try new ideas. We have to modify these ideas if we fail at the initial stages. There are no perfect ideas. But those with a positive attitude would analyse the idea in depth until he finds a solution to his problems. Good leaders and managers could predict and speculate challenges and future needs. Through this they could produce new ideas and act productively, exploring new opportunities for development.

They should be perceptible to the latest developments in the management field, requiring conviction, discipline and the stamina to manage conflict, challenges and competition to enable the organisations to progress. Leaders and managers should act with clarity of direction and the course of the organisation. To achieve the objective, they cannot rely on logical approach or reasoning alone, or make a decision based on the collection of data and the perception of current phenomena. Their stand and action should also be guided by learning, experience and historical facts, without which errors would recur and result in hasty decisions.

Having evaluated and accepted the established forces, the future can be mapped out. It must be emphasized that no plan can be complete. There will be defects and omissions. There will even be mistakes. The important thing is to realise the need for a revolutionary plan and its early and thorough implementation. By and large, our value system and code of ethics are impediments to our progress. If we admit this, and if the need for change is realised, then there is hope; for as in psychiatry, success in isolating the root cause is in itself a part of treatment. From then on planning a cure would be relatively simple.
