The Onus is On Us -

And so here we are on the brink of d-day
This week we will know how our future will sway
The duffer, the bluffer, the man with the muffler
Which one of these men will we have to suffer

If you voted for Modi go jump in the sea
If you voted for Rahul you're dumber than he
If you voted for Kejri then that should be fine
Because sooner or later the man will resign

Democracy demands we give them a chance
But this time I think we should join in the dance
Coz whoever they are, the men at the helm
The country still belongs to us, not to them

We gave them their seats, the two-seventy-two
We voted them to power between me and you
But whether they prove to be wise men or fools
This nation is ours so let's play by the rules

Let's not break the law, can we please stand in line
Let's not pull those strings to avoid paying a fine
Let's finally get that a red light means stop
Let's not stoop to bribing the poor traffic cop

Let's be part of the reason our country is great
Let's be good citizens before it's too late
Let's serve our great country without hesitation
Let's all work together to build a strong nation

Enough of the trolling, the barbs and the fights
Now let's stick together, stand up for our rights
Enough of debates on religion and caste
Now let's be united, secular at last

They might have the seats, the two-seventy-two
But the country belongs to me and to you
And we're a billion people, a billion and plus
At the end of the day, the onus is on us

Doesn't sound good, at least not a week after the results have been declared.
Am reminded of what JFK said, "Ask what you can do for the country, and not what the country can do for you."
It's time we realized this and really the "Onus is on Us"

It is a bit late, but worth it. Better late than never

In the context of what you said, "we need to be in the present, past is gone, future is unknown." Management schools all over the 'world' are already gearing themselves, to teach lessons on 'leadership.'
 
We’ve all heard the old adage — there’s no "i" in team.

These "i"s many have come to believe is the very stitching that holds together high-performing teams. It’s what makes them unique and gives them a competitive edge, generating synergy that is the very power of teamwork. These essential i’s—often hidden from view—are exactly what many low-performing teams are painfully missing.


If you look back over this man's campaign trail all through the "I" factor was very prominent so much so that everyone even went on to say he is a "one man army" and a "dictator" etc. The reverence he paid by prostrating on the footsteps during his entry into the "temple of democracy - the central hall of the parliament" is anything to go by, to me it shows his sincerity of purpose. He and all the member of his party, have absorbed their "triumph" with utmost humility, which unfortunately the oldest party of the country is still not accepting "arrogance personified, sarcasm filled die-hards."

Talking of teamwork, in today's context 'The i in Team,' challenges perceptions which provides useful ideas on effective team leadership that one can think of implementing!

What he has done so far is "

Tap the unique potential, inputs and talents of the individuals on his team;

Create more intrigue, involvement and interaction among team members;

Inspire true, high performance teamwork and synergy from one and all;

Cultivate an interdependent, we-opic and shared vision, all inclusive;

Exercise intuition to develop an environment of imagination, ingenuity and innovation;

Build team intelligence;

Foster team integrity;

Increase return on investment.

"The i’s in this context are like seeds. They must be planted and nurtured to take root and grow. They may not be visible at first, but make no mistake. The seeds matter. There is an i in team. He is urging us to make the investment. He is trying to give his team the lift it deserves. Experience the reward that follows."

I liked this - The Power of Positive Influences : "You are the same today that you are going to be in five years from now except for two things – the people with whom you associate and the books you read." (Charles Jones)

I heard someone tell that Mr. Modi is the same person he was fifteen years ago, and nothing has changed except that he has raised his level of thinking to a much higher plane.

Also please see the attachments when you have the time. Looking forward to a "changing India"
