Managing Yurself with Ugadi Spirit

“What got you here won’t get you there”,says Marshall Goldsmith, renowned executive coach helping fortune 500 CEOs

In this ‘globally distributed knowledge worker’ environment, careergrowth and performance management is a fine art.

It goes well beyond the realms of individual’s delivery and manager’sobjective evaluation and subjective perception.

It extends deeply into layers beyond your immediate manager, andaspects beyond pure technical or functional performance.

That art is your insulin.Let not Diabetica-Performancea hit you.Learn and practice preventive measures.Manage and outgrow if you have been hit with the bug!
