I like this quote from Francis Bacon “Some books are to be tasted, others to be swallowed, and some few to be chewed and digested: that is, some books are to be read only in parts, others to be read, but not curiously, and some few to be read wholly, and with diligence and attention.” Currently I am reading the book “The high performance entrepreneur” by Subroto Bagchi and really chewing and digesting it. And I can tell you it is very tasty. The Golden rules in the book are invaluable for a budding entrepreneur like me. I was at Sri Sankara college of Arts and Science near Kanchipuram today. When I addressed the 300+ students I shared that taste as the message. I told them that “Manager” is not a title but a reward for those who are willing to take accountability for meeting specific results; I elaborated how in this connected world, a manager’s job is to interact with client, performing organization, team, shareholders and society and produce the value that each one of them is looking for; I left them with the message that management study should not stop after college but go on forever through sources like Subroto Bagchi’s book.
