Management retreat today. Few observations I think applies to all retreats...
1. Dominant participants should be banned from focus group discussions cause they only stifle knowledge sharing
2. Passive people makes the most noise. They don't say much constructive stuff and their silence adds to the awkwardness, but when they do say, you rather they shut up or be prepared to be shot down by them.
3. Passive organization is the worst. Apart from being left out in a fast-paced society where only the proactive organizations survive, it suffers a severe dissociation from public interest which has become the trend phrase in the 21st century.
4. What about leaders who find themselves dissociated from their people? One word - doom.
5. Leaders who can't listen? Double doom.
In a related note, the buzzword power has set me thinking recently...The more power one already posseses, the more fearful and insecured the person feels about losing it. The person will soon detract from his or her noble calling to safeguard personal interest. The lesser one has, the more fearless, adventurous and committed the person is. These people are your greatest warriors who takes the frontline in organizational advancement.

Flavours of Life will be where I document some of those human mysteries I observe in my surroundings which most choose to ignore. It can be extremely interesting to stop, observe and reflect on them because you may be surprised by the sort of enlightenment one can gather from them. It is also here where I seek mental relaxation as it provides me with an escapism from the harsh reality. I will also use this space to immerse in my obsession for entertainment (Well, I can't quite move away from this since it is one of my main source of virtual happiness)
