Have we already sold out to economic growth?

Economic growth for a nation has been the pronounced objective of all governments in the capitalist world we live in today. The reason is very simple and has nothing to do with the nation. It has to do with what economic growth places within reach of individuals and those who run the governments. Individuals get more money in their hands to fulfill all they yearned for and that is what motivates t Read more of this blog post »

Quotes by Amit Chatterjee  (?)

“Leaders are passionate about the Purpose, while Managers need to be passionate about the Results!”
Amit Chatterjee, Ascent: A Practising Manager’s Growth Mantra

“The most prevalent form of slavery is being a slave of your own insecurities Or exploiting another's vulnerabilities.

Lust, greed and anger are the pitfalls of the short sighted. Long term business is not possible through lust, greed, anger or guile; it is done based on 'sustainable' relationships; And that is possible when happiness is your goal and each individual you transact with, is a 'strong adult Individual'. We need to invest in ourselves to make us one and in others to help them become the same.

It IS in my Selfish interest to have strong, adult individuals around!”
Amit Chatterjee

“Parents need to be lucky to be good in parenting; children have to be lucky to have great parents!”
Amit Chatterjee

“The Practising Manager’s Growth Mantra

-Growth in an enterprise is created through remarkable achievements, not incremental achievements like efficiency or effectiveness.

-Remarkable achievements are possible only in complexity.

-Only volitional engagement can work in complexity. Luckily, there is no certainty in complexity. Hence, motivational engagement cannot work.

-People who make choices based on the purpose can only be volitionally engaged—they are the growth managers, the leaders.”
Amit Chatterjee, Ascent: A Practising Manager’s Growth Mantra

“We have good leadership only by chance, not by management.

And we need to change that!”
Amit Chatterjee, Ascent: A Practising Manager’s Growth Mantra

“Success comes from people (leaders) who are motivated by the change, not who need to be motivated by the change.”
Amit Chatterjee

“Happiness comes from what you love to do, not necessarily from what you need to do; to succeed!”
Amit Chatterjee

“Success is a drink you enjoy on the journey towards happiness. Risk is, you could get drunk!”
Amit Chatterjee
