"Positive deviants are the individuals using unusual tactics to achieve success"...Dr Gary Klein...

 

  • Positive deviants are the individuals using unusual tactics to achieve success, and we can learn from them.
  • Their tactics may be subtle, and they might not even understand what is working.
  • Expertise is needed to spot positive deviants, diagnose the reasons for their success, and spread the message.

Dream Big!!

 


Hai students and scholars,

Usually we aim to become something taking those around us or those whom we met in our school or college as rolemodel. 

Most of the times this aim becomes much lesser than our true full potential.

I watched and listened to the speech by Professor Deborah Prentice who took over as the 347th Vice Chancellor of University of Cambridge. She started her life as a simple psychologist and grew up to become an administrator of educational institutions and now the VC of the prestigious University of Cambridge!!

When i heard her speech i felt 'Why no one guided me to become like this when i was a student?...Why i did not think like this before?'....so i thought let me share so that you also don't think later the way i think now!!!

So, think Global....aim high...rule the world!!

Listen to her speech....you will redefine and rewrite your life goals!!!💪

Grow to a level that your CV is just one line!!......'I am a Nobel Laureate in Economics'!!!

 


Hai Students and Scholars!!

 

🙋‍♂️...We write so much in our CV to describe about our qualifications, experience, skill sets etc. Why not we grow to a level that we just write one line in the CV which describes everything about us!! (e.g 'I am a Nobel Laureate in Economics')...or may be CV itself is not required for us...We need to think differently!!!🤔

Few years back when i superannuated from Navy, i felt miserable correcting my CV every day and uploading some 27 experience details etc in job applications....somehow i travelled through that journey...now when i think about superannuating from IIM Kashipur the nightmare of again correcting cv suiting every job description is painful...so, when i asked myself why i have to undergo this pain, the mind said 'You have not grown to a level of not requiring a CV or not grown to a level of making a simple or one liner cv!!'....so, i feel it is comparatively easier to become one rather than undergoing that painful process of cv correction!!..I also feel i should have known or someone should have told or guided me like this earlier during my student days....so only i shared so that it may be useful for someone here!!

Dr M Ramasubramanian, CAO, IIM Kashipur.

"sir, human beings appear to be abstract and confusing!!"

 Dear friends....

Though few of the human behaviours appear abstract, today we have many knowledge tools available to study/research them systematically and put in a scientific manner to understand better.

We make substantive statements through the knowledge gained by observation...and later prove them through scientific analysis...one advantage in this is we discover new things which are not visible to our eyes or mind...with these discoveries we invent new things either useful or dangerous or both!!

Peacefully yours....Dr M Ramasubramanian

For changing your life, change your life style!!

 Dear IIM Students,

Till now you were following a lifestyle adapting to your place of living, organisation of working, the kind of work you did from waking up to sleep, meeting your wants and needs and the expectations of all the significant people around you at home, organisation, institution, and society.
Now your place is different. Organisation/institution is different. Your wants and needs are different. The expectations of your parents, your professors, your friends, and all others around you are different.
So, if you have to be physically healthy, mentally peaceful and happy, socially healthy, and meet your wants and needs, then you have to change the lifestyle. If you continue to follow the same lifestyle then you can’t meet your own needs, wants and expectations, forget about that of meeting the expectations of others in your life.
We all know that with the change in one independent variable, the dependent variables also have to change. The independent variable is what you change, and the dependent variable is what changes as a result of that. So, allow it to change. Don’t resist. You only chose IIM study and changed your place of living and studying. So, all factors related to the new place and its demands have to change commensurately. Otherwise, you will experience stress. The stressors will damage your physical, mental, and social well-being. They will push you back to the old previous state of life to regain the stability of the system and also to ensure you are without stress. But the truth is if you go back to previous state you will be more stressed. So, there is no other way other than to change the dependent variables. That means your lifestyle has to change!!...No escape. If you want your life to change, then your lifestyle has to change!!
But that new lifestyle should be health enhancing and not health compromising. Otherwise, you will end up with some other serious problems in life.
Therefore, the first and foremost is to realise that you have to change your lifestyle in health enhancing ways, sustainable ways, and in tune with the needs of the present new life!!...you have to change yourself…The New YOU with the changed personality traits, changed ways of doing things you have been doing from waking up to sleep (as morning to night does not hold good at IIM), leaving some old habits, creating some new habits and developing them, unlearning some old learning, learning something new….all these to adapt to the new place, new life, new beginning of an entirely different future life!!
So, take the first step today for a big leap tomorrow!!
Start now….
Peacefully yours…Dr M Ramasubramanian.
