Achieving Excellence in Professional Life


Hi, I have been a student throughout my life, though I have now more than 30 years of experience. I have a strong belief that no amount of CRM, HRM, ERP, or EPM etc can really succeed in any organisation till their manpower is equipped with basics of Excellence in their personal and professional life. So after studying a lot many books and talking to corporate leaders and my own learnings, I came to the conclusion that professionals must work on the ten areas given below to elevate their level of excellence. Some of us may be having a very high level in 3 or 4 areas but may be very low in another 3 or 4 areas. And highly average in another 3 or 4 areas. I am not in a position to quantify the level of any individual on these 10 parameters and then decide the average for him. In case someone knows a method to quantify accurately, I will be grateful to learn that. Also I believe it is a process of continuous improvement in all these ten areas:  

1. Time Management
2.  Attitude
3.  Ethics at work place
4.  Empowering your Teams
5.  Business Etiquettes
6.  Effective Communication
7.  What makes a Great Presenter?
8. Up the Leadership Ladder
9.  Goal Setting
10.Stress Management
Any person with a sound rating on these 10 parameters will be considered as being excellent in his personal, professional and social life. And he/she is bound to succeed whatever he/she aspires to achieve.
