Just today somebody shared these pictures on Facebook and I was reminded of this brilliant advertising campaign carried out by Mercedes-Benz early this year. The beautiful illustrated spread shows creativity. free spirit and passion of the right brain vs. the familiar, accurate and linear nature of the left brain. 

Though most of us must have read about the concept in the past, being a management student, this advertisement intrigued me as to how an ordinary individual can choose his line of career based on these parameters.

Good sales people tend to be more right brain – intuitive, subjective, creative.  They are capable of creating these extremely attractive adverts stimulating the mind of an average customer to make the purchase decision.

People employed in the administrative or the technical fields are required to be more left brained. Their jobs relate majorly to carrying out monotonous tasks everyday. It's not like their jobs are not exciting enough. Ask a budding scientist the amount of joy he experiences on successfully completing an experiment and you'd know.

Entrepreneurs, too, could make a more effective use of the right brain. Their risk taking ability coupled with the creative genius(offered in abundance by the right brain) can actually transform into a successful business idea.

However, when any of these great people get into management which requires as much of the left brain thinking as of the right brain, things tend to go haywire. Good managers need to be not only logical and rational in their decision making, but also possess the right hint of gut and madness when it comes to finding out more efficient ways of managing limited resources.

Hence, Great managers need to be “whole-brained” since they lead with their right brain and manage with their left brain. Yes, you got it correct: WHOLE-ness is SOUL-ness.

It is never too late to LEARN.....

Hello there!
I know I haven't been able to post anything in a really long while. It's a shame, really, because the amount of knowledge I have gained during this period has been enormous! Let me share a bit of it today.

It's funny that none of us realize how much we learn when we actually get down to doing things ourselves. Watching others do it or learning from others' mistakes isn't enough, my dear friend! Initially, we may feel strained by the decision of choosing a task, then carrying out the required research and eventually compiling and analyzing all the information so acquired, but only after it is over, do we understand the very purpose behind all this. What we get out of it is - knowledge. It is this very word that sets us apart from others; it determines how successful or not we will be in the coming years. Yet we fail to make the most out of it as a majority of us avoid going through the entire journey. One cannot expect to get results if one hasn't worked at all, unfortunately.

This is just an abstract of what I want to share. There's so much more to say, so much more to hear, so much more to learn. Hope everybody feels the same way.

Lets
!!! :)
