Great management is about character..not technique..

..quoted from Thomas Teal.. Harvard Business REview..
Well..character is what u really are..thus..need to be built up..established..and properly handled.

CHARACTER..everybody has one. Be it good or bad..all depends on how one was brought up..Of course we tend to inherit some of our parents' characters or personalities, but i still believe that characters and personalities can be re-shaped as we get older or matured.

Unfortunately, some never bother to 're-visit' or 'review' their own characters - they resist to change. As a result, we would bump into people who are selfish..self centered..and inconsiderate..These pple never take stock of what is happening around them..very insensitive to others..Yes...there are many of these pple around..yet ...they survive...
