Title: Terror camps, Pak flags in Karnataka jungles
KALGHATGI (DHARWAD): Terrorist training camps may be closer to home than the distant mountains in Pakistan. This chilling evidence came to light during the interrogation of three Islamist radicals arrested recently %u2014 Riyazuddin Nasir alias Mohammed Ghouse, Asadullah Abu Bakar and Mohammed Asif.
The investigators have unearthed a thick forest area bordering Dharwad and Uttara Kannada districts of Karnataka, which was used to train terrorists in the use of firearms. The three youths arrested by anti-terror police in Hubli and Davanagere a fortnight ago allegedly received weapons training in these woods which are surrounded by religious shrines.
I appreciate the good article put by Rediff on Managerial Skills. The subject topic of Coaching Skills is very appropriate to a successful Manager. In my view a Manager is a team leader and until he does know their inner feelings and emotions he cannot be successful in managing them in the right way. So keenly listening, asking thier views, exchanging opinions with an open mind and moving forward with a common understanding will definitely lead to fruitive results. In my last 25 years of man management I have found that people are God's assets and they need to be nurtured from within to make them our assets.
All said and done, each of us have a different experience with the Managers. Many a manager in course of his duties fail to see beyond his personal interest and interest of subordinates comes later. They cannot be called a Manager. In long run, no Manager can be successful unless he manages manpower (or subordinates)first. Failure in man management bring related failures in all aspect of the Management. Thus, one with ultirior intention exposed to his superiors making him difficult to rise up the ladder. What is expected of a Good manager is a Team player, a guide, a preacher and last but not the least is a freind to fellow subordinates in all seasons.
Having worked with major Indian, multinational and fortune-500 companies, I have been developing the teams to deliver extraordinary results. My focus is on the underperforming (or deemed underperforming) mid-career executives and the new entrants. Focussing on their human side, campaigning for their achievements (however small it may be) and counselling them for the slips had been really rewarding. The sense of achievement to take the person from "below expectaion" to "exceptional" ratings is extremely satisfying. But it takes time and patience - both for the coach and the organization. If you are in such dilemma just shoot your mail to monsterofthegame at rediff mail. Cheers. No charge.

To Juan Stop negative thinking. your write up is like a sucidal attempet. You can accept your defeat, but we will not. We work hard to hardest to reach our target even if unable to suceeds in Ist attempet.
Lakhs / crores of indian suceeds even if they are not MBA from IIM etc. you understand
The subject matter of good managing skills is very simple .You know all human being in fact any animals are manager by birth .When a child is born she / he has to manage milk for his or her survibal .Similarly childhood to manhood to till death all human being manage his or her life to survibe .You follow an ant behavior .The ant will not divulge anything untill or unless its house or storage of foods collections are complte .It means DEdication to complte something in a very decilined manner .You will observe a worker Ant will never trespass to the other area belong to its superior boss ( quine or king ant ) and will not fight to any other ant samaj .It will relentlessly work for its particular job only .It means empowerment or classifications of jobs to your subbordinates or yourself as manager .Lastly integrity,honesty,modesty,humbleness and sense of belonging to a family of company/ family / plays a vital role for good managing skills.No body should argue on the above matters because the above matters cannot be replaced by any other methods.Never mixed your personal and professional life with anybody including your family . The above are small basic things to follow. There are end no of situations one should prepare to counter and it can be possible when follows the above basic things of inrichment of life .
As much theory that is available, it is upto an individual person on how he wants to manage his team. He can either be well balanced and treat his team well or the other side is he can be a complete moron and just shout and boss people without understanding what they are facing.
Manager of a section should have knowledge to guide, coach -- his team. Here Manager does not know anything on the working of his section! WHOLE MESS STARTS THERE. All theory become baseless. You seem to be thinking in dream and not actualy on ground reality. God bless you

Very Correctly said. I have a Manager who doestnt know anything about the work we do, but just forwards emails. He just tracks emails - in / out and forwarding the mails to someone in the team. And the unfortunate part is he is the Manager ;-) Its a surprise how such people get recruited as Managers!

the root cause of problem is having a unprofessional and incompetant manager.
When to distribute the work, he selects the best he have to give the toughest works. but when it comes to submit year reports to management regarding performance appraisal, he rate each and every member of his team equal.
The basic reason is the insecurity within themself, who dont want to allow the management to notice the talents and let him progress high.
poor chap dont understand the basic theory, if your subordinate gets promoted, it automatically push you too upwards.

Rightly said. It is basically insecurity within themselves. If they find any subordinate having a bit common-sense, they will use the opportunity to kick him out. They wanted only idiots in the team. There is a management strategy - create rift amongst employees & survive. Indian Managers are good at it.

Mr Akshay Jalal
This depend only on connection with somebody known to top management. I faced it very severly by immediate boss. unfortunately almost every org has these type of ppl.
