Why do organisations find it so easy to add something — and so difficult to remove it?A new process is introduced. A new layer of approval appears. Another product enters the portfolio. Another report is added to the calendar. A system that nobody particularly likes continues to exist because “this is how we have always done it.”And slowly, almost invisibly, complexity becomes normal.That was the ...
Many books about success promise transformation. Brian Tracy’s Million Dollar Habits makes a quieter promise: transformation begins long before results appear, hidden inside ordinary routines that most people never think twice about. It is less interested in dramatic breakthroughs than in the small decisions that eventually become identity.Tracy has spent decades writing about achievement, and rea...

Most careers prepare people to do the work. Very few prepare them for the moment when their success depends on helping others do it.That gap sits at the heart of Nikhil Tripathi’s Level 10 Leader. It is a gap familiar to anyone who has watched a high-performing individual contributor become a manager overnight and discover that competence and leadership are not interchangeable skills.

There is a peculiar irony in modern success. The more ambitious people become, the less likely they are to admit exhaustion. Burnout is discussed openly, yet often worn as a badge of honour. Calendars overflow, notifications multiply, and the ability to remain constantly busy is frequently mistaken for evidence of importance. Somewhere along the way, achievement stopped being a destination and bec...
There is a peculiar modern habit that most of us participate in without thinking about it. We tap a screen, place an order, and begin measuring time in minutes. A packet of biscuits, a bottle of medicine, a charger, even an iPhone appears at the doorstep so quickly that the machinery behind the experience becomes invisible. Convenience has become so ordinary that we rarely ask what it takes to man...

I was sitting on a park bench, watching children chase each other across the grass while a gentle evening breeze rustled through the trees. A few walkers moved along the pathway with quiet determination, each headed somewhere, each following a direction known only to them. And a strange thought crossed my mind: most people ...
There’s a certain moment in your professional life… when advice stops helping.Not because it’s wrong — but because it’s too clean for the mess you’re standing in.That’s the space I found myself in while reading The Unscripted Leader by Paparao Chintalapudi.This isn’t the kind of book that tells you what to do.It quietly shifts something more uncomfortable — how you think when there is no clear ans...
