Reclaiming Control of Your Life

Dear Readers!  Namasthe.... In a world where connections are essential, it’s easy to let others influence our thoughts, decisions, and ultimately, our lives. We often find comfort in the opinions and guidance of those we trust.

Hey all Namasthe,  In the world of organisation ,failure is often seen as a setback, a sign that something went wrong. When an entire team fails, it can feel like a disaster. However, the true measure of a manager is not in how they handle success, but in how they manage failure. While a bad manager might blame their team to remain in their boss’s good books, a good manager understands that leadership means taking responsibility, learning from mistakes, and turning failure into an opportunity for growth.
