A
flickering attitude is a common problem faced by all the humans in todays
world. ‘Being focused’ is now a target that people aim to achieve. Most simply
fails to focus in their life. As a result, they fail to have one fixed goal
that they want to achieve. Also, some may have a goal, but no fixed strategy to
follow. This is the reason why the word ‘failure’ is common to hear these days.
This
‘failure’ in a business world can be much more disastrous than one can ever
imagine. Losing out on money, credibility and faith in some company by the
customers is the worst that ever can happen to some company. We have many
examples of such failures. Some came up with a new strategy of achieving the
same goal and some changed the area of working. Still, they all struggle.
So,
to help the organization, some corporate motivational speakers came up as saviors.They prove to be a great help in boosting the morale of the employees.
They contribute in improving the efficiency of the business. The best they did
is they bough the spate departments as a team. So the scattered idea and
strategies were compiled and given presented asthe one major plan that all need to follow.
The
corporate training programs can now
be availed easily. All you as a company need to do is to look for the top Corporate speakers and then approach
them. With their motivations and vibrant communication skills they help the
employees to work with a peaceful mind. A peaceful mind is a must for all the
people doing the maximum brain work or physical work as with a peaceful mind
the employees can focus on their work. This is the key change that only a corporate motivational speaker can
bring. So, fearlessly go for the training if you feel that your company is in
the same soup and needs help.

Introduction to Management
Principles from Bhagavad Gita
Bhagavad Gita was the first
ever motivational seminar spoken 5200 years ago in the battlefield of
Kurukshetra. The book is a series of FAQs between Arjuna and Krishna where Arjuna
is asking questions and Krishna is answering.
Stephen Covey, author of the best seller 7 habits of highly effective people, has admitted that he has
conceived all the habits from Bhagavad Gita.
In the first chapter of Bhagavad Gita, Krishna is listening intensely while Arjuna is expressing his stress, challenges & emotions in the battlefield. Like him, today everybody has their own battle within self. People in corporate have their own battles to fight. How to bounce back in tough situations is the key message in the book. It enables people to transform from circumstantial manager to substantial manager. The book covers everything about management & leadership to achieve excellence. The principle applied is “seek to understand first and then to be understood”. It helps one to understand the nature of circumstances and build the ability to bounce back with a positive attitude. So, essentially Bhagavad Gita covers all kinds of required leadership wisdom which helps people to handle tough times in today’s competitive world of stressful situations.
Research says that more than 80% employees in any organization are disengaged; more than 90% employees are passengers, and only 10% are drivers, and the result is continuous dissatisfaction, extreme stress, no work life balance, lack of effectiveness and decline in efficiency. For all of these and many more problems, Krishna has given timeless principles in Bhagavad Gita. These principles can be applied at any time, place and situation; they were spoken 5200 years ago but they are absolutely valid and has the same effect applied in the today’s modern corporate scenario.
Karma Theory
“Karam kare jaao, phal ki iccha mat karo” is a misapplied shloka. It is misinterpreted as working for a company but not getting promoted. Thomas Edison failed 10,000 times but he never thought of failure. He had the bounce back ability and he did not worry about his failures. This is what Krishna teaches us in Bhagavad Gita. One should know the difference between two kinds of efforts - efforts with worry and efforts without worry. When we worry, the quality of the efforts goes down and it impacts the results. Also Krishna explains difference between expectation and gratitude, Expectations are directly proportional to frustration but Gratitude is inversely proportional to frustration – the more you have gratitude, the less you have frustration. So friends you can also type VIVEK BINDRA on YouTube to check his channel and hear him live on Bhagavad Gita.
Bhagavad Gita also helps in creating a direction by setting goals because clearly defined goals are bound to give the desired results. In the beginning, Arjuna is direction-less and Krishna acts as a mentor & coach to give him directions. Krishna establishes the importance of being focused and how one can incorporate these learnings in life. Bhagavad Gita elaborates the importance and techniques of controlling mind to produce desired results. It teaches everyone to regulate multiple desires and focus in one direction that is, THE GOAL and get the wished output.
Bhagavad Gita is a book that can transform our lives. When we want to change our habits we often do things we know we should stop doing. Krishna gives a series of Shlokas as answers to this. One of which says ‘You have 5 senses. Regulate them. Check at the entry gates to allow anything that is unwanted to get in. Otherwise, the negativity around will uproot all your knowledge and wisdom, and you will do things even if you do not want them to do.
Do you know that you are an average of 5 people you keep yourself in your life around?
When you regulate your associations, you can influence your future by automatically displaying good actions. When there is garbage in, there will be garbage out. Good in – good out. Negativity in- negativity out. Positive in-positive out. So create good associations and you will have good character and your destiny will automatically shine.
After the unfortunate 9/11 incident, the Americans lost faith in people coming from South Asia. Because of which now, one has to reach the airport 3 hours before the departure. A lot of money, time and effort are wasted because of the loss of faith and trust. This is called the law of increasing returns and is explained in Bhagavad Gita. When the value and trust is low, the cost of business goes up; when the value and trust is high, the cost of doing business goes down.
“When you give more than what you get soon you
get more than what you gave” -Vivek Bindra
Power of Thoughts
It is said that all the things you see on this Earth were in somebody’s mind at first. The principle is that all things are created twice, once in the mind and then in real. So, it is imperative to watch your thoughts and creatively &consciously chose your thoughts. If you really want to change your life, start by changing your thoughts.
In Chapter 8, Verse 6 of Bhagavad Gita, Krishna tells Arjuna, “You become what you think.” If you want to control your destiny, start by controlling your thoughts.
Success is not by
chance but by choice.
You can choose your success
by choosing your thoughts
Other Highlights of
“Management Principles from Bhagavad Gita:
· The key message is how to fight your own battle.
Like Arjuna, had his battle, anybody and everybody from Lawyer, student, doctor, CA, Media person to the teacher everybody will have their own battles. Bhagavad Gita trains one to cultivate the bounce back ability in tough situations.
· It helps one to move from being a worrier to warrior. Instead of being strongly mental you become mentally strong, instead of seeing hopeless end you have to evolve as a person with Endless hopes.

What is the differences between ordinary and extraordinary peoples?
If you want to distinguish between an ordinary man and an
extra ordinary man, begin with the difference in their attitude. An
extraordinary man contributes more than 99% of his potential whereas an
ordinary man doesn't even contribute 1% of what he can. The reason behind this
difference lies in their attitude towards self and the outside world.We will
further analyse this difference in the light of their behavioural styles in
tough situations.
The first category is termed as quitter- He knows where he
is supposed to go but his attitude doesn't allow him to face any change and all
the possible challenges, that change can bring. The moment he sees situation is
not in his accordance, he quits. He cannot survive in the difficult times and
his sustenance is very short.
The second category of people are called as fault finders.
These people analyse the tough situation carefully, figure out the areas of
concern and have a strong logic to support their withdrawal
from the situation. They are good in convincing others and self, for the
reasons to back up from a tough situation or to quit the task. They do not
foresee the solutions; their approach ends at problems.
Next to this are people who are enthusiastic, energetic and
ambitious. They want to achieve heights and show a strong courage towards the
same. However, they cannot retain these traits for long. When situation gets
tough, they try two to three times and then give up. Their survival is higher
than fault finders but not long enough to be productive. They are calleddabblers.
Stressors are bit different from dabblers. They form the
fourth category. They do not give up easily. Their focus is always on going
back to the situation and find the solutions. For them, failure is not the
solution. They will re-attempt a task till the time it gets completed. They
have zest to excel and to succeed. They are dependable people and are very less
in numbers.
Rarest of rare people come under the category of masters-the
final and fifth category. These are people who have strong analytical skills
and who believe in creating alternative ways and developing strategies. Like a
stressor, they will get their way but their approach would be more refined and
specific as compared to the stressor. Such people are rare in number and are
considered to be ones who create histories.
You don’t need to strive in life, if you are self-motivated. A motivated person either wins or learns new ways to win from a situation. He never fails. He sees every opportunity as a platform to learn. He looks for useful information everywhere he goes. He has an open mind set and doesn't make random belief systems. He has the courage to explore and invent. He never fears of the end result.
But the question is – How should you motivate yourself?
The
foundation for motivation is, “motivation should not be outside in; rather it
should be inside out”.If you get motivation from an external source, you are
depending yourself on something which is not permanent.
Let’s
say the thing or the person who act as the source of motivation for you goes
away one day, what will you do? Will you get de-motivated in its absence? Obvious
answer is yes. And in such situations you tend to replace it with something
similar, which is not easy to find.
However,
there could be an internal source as well which can be your source of
motivation. Your belief systems, desire to achieve something or even your
positive attitude for external world could be your source of motivation. It is
often said that a person is not paralysed physically; he’s mentally paralysed. When
you have the highest belief and you believe in it, you end up creating your
path which leads you there. You don’t need someone to come and motivate you and
say good words. You can tell yourself that you can do this and that you know
the way as well.
At
this moment, after discussing the need of internal source of motivation and
reflecting on strong belief systems as one of these, you may think of what makes
a strong and right belief system? Answer to this is very simple- it lies in your
roots. When the root cause of everything you think and do is correct and clear
to you, you enhance your internal motivation. Knowing every thought process of
yours help you frame your belief system. You daily actions form a pattern in
your life. And these patterns start leading you at one point of time.
Eventually you realize that you don’t lead your life; your patterns are leading
your life.
In all
this, we observe that our conscious mind has stopped working. Our patterns of
life have become so strong that they rule the conscious mind state as well. In
other words I may say that “the subconscious mind is leading the conscious mind
as the conscious mind is not conscious”. Change your mind set and start valuing
the right belief system .When you value somebody’s value system, his value
system becomes your value system. Start valuing the right belief system.
When
you develop the right belief system, you are safe in your own safe hands. Whatever
be the circumstances, you will be mentally strong and you can work as per your
choice. Be the example people will follow. Just change your pattern and your
world will change accordingly.
