So, you think I have all the time now…I always had some time for this, anyways i guess i have learned a lesson! After all i spend over 20 weekends in my executive MBA – no play no party…no blog posts…no gardening…etc!

This is an awesome concept – the title itself speaks to the topic i guess! “…one leadership development process that builds leaders and helps companies make money at the same time” says Marshall Goldsmith, (Source: HBR:Ask the Coach).

Action learning is a structured process with four essential elements:

  1. Creating an experience that engages learners
  2. Debriefing the experience
  3. Generalizing from results
  4. Transferring lessons to the future

As usual the top most reason for a blog to be in-active – laziness! I am a proud lazy blogger!!! Well i admit it.

Now after a little modesty, i have now decided to write something. Hence this post! A little bit of an update and the intention is how i want to start this post.

Update

I am on the verge of completing my MBA (hopefully on the first attempt it self) – hey this is going to be confession or what? No. That’s the fact. I have spent the last few months with nothing but my MBA as the topmost agenda! Monday will the last and the most dreaded exam and i hope i will get through.

Intention of my Future posts

Basically i want to be an entrepreneur and hence i felt that i should possess some basic skills of the same. MBA was an excellent learning platform and i have gained so much knowledge that i just can wait to start up something. I will take time. The future post will be some of my thoughts…and the Way we Think!

Long time ago, I started my career as a Faculty in a technology-management institute. Quite reputed those days. I would personally recommend that if you are young, want to be a very well groomed professional – begin your career by training people. Helps you a lot. Has helped me a lot.

I would have preferred to be a trainer in flex – maybe now also. If i ever get an opportunity, sure i will, here’s my style.

  1. I would never give my students Adobe Flex installed computer…this of-course is for the practicals.
  2. What i would do is give them this URL and ask them to try the exercises -http://try.flex.org/

It’s important for freshers to get better-hold on any subject that they type the syntax’s! People who have come the hard-way up have always been my inspiration!

An incident in a typical joint family environment! You might be able to relate; else I guess it’s no rocket science…

My niece over three years…her tantrums are something admirable. She can sing the latest or rather hum….put some great steps for the best song and ask you questions which is quite tough to answer! She plays…it’s amazing how she adapts to the new toys…still more is the she handles them: with care!!! The amount of appreciation she gets…man it’s tough to believe!

It’s been over 5 months now with my daughter is in….people have already began to shift the focus….she draws more attention. More attention with fewer abilities…at 5 months old it’s tough to dance for example…

Today in the world of RIA – flex can be nominated as my ‘neice’ and silverlight …I guess this is a very common! Be it the technology world or a simple joint family! We tend to accept new technologies and over-react to any silly/simple “tantrums” when they are young! We should wait and watch – if at all (in the first place) this is a battle! The amount of blogs, messages in tech groups, well I would leave it there!

Flex has been in the industry – has matured into a great technology…will continue to dominate!
SliverLight is in it’s infancy I guess…and I guess we should give it some time to mature…who knows?
