No Wonder It's Either Google or Facebook: The 8 Immutable Laws of Management

‘THE 22 IMMUTABLE LAWS OF MARKETING’ book written by Al Ries and Jack Trout is a wonderful book. I realise that we too can apply the laws to management.  In fact the world's 2 most preferred employers Google and Facebook use many of these 8 laws: 

1.     Law of Leadership – Be a Good Leader first then be a Good Manager. (Be a better manager in 4 weeks at here)

2.    Law of Mind – it’s better to be the first in the mind than to be the first in the marketplace.  Once a mind is made up, it rarely changes.  So make a strong name in your people's minds that you are an Effective Manager (details at here). 

3.     Law of Perception – management is not a battle of ideas but a battle of perceptions.  All ideas is relative.   Management is a manipulation of perceptions.  Make sure your people perceive you to be capable, that's why you cannot show your weakness in front of your team members. 

4.    Law of Ladder – move your team up the Ladder of Performance, from Basic to Expected, to Desired and ultimately to Unbelievable. 

5.     Law of Division – divide to multiply: divide your tasks and integrate them with strong teamwork.

6.  Law of Candor – when you admit a negative, your team will give you a positive.  First admit a negative and then twist it into a positive. Admitting a weakness makes you a real manager and people are connected to you immediately. 

7.   Law of Success – success often leads to arrogance, and arrogance leads to failure.  Success often leads to less objectivity. So start by being a great boss and you'll be on the path of success. 

8.  Law of Acceleration – Accelerate your management success by equipping yourself with the right management strategies and tactics.  Learn to be a better manager in just 4 weeks, details at here.  Related articles on management:

If Not You, Who Else?

I learnt this very powerful 5-word phrase from Singapore's highest ever box-office movie ever: "Ah Boys to Men II". In one scene, the recruits were about to start their 3-day field camp.  Their Officer-in-Command asked them, "Before we moved out, anybody not feeling well?"  All the soldiers replied loudly, "No Sir!!!" "Gentlemen", continued the Officer, "Every time the training gets tougher, one thought comes to your mind, 'Why Must I Serve National Service?' "My answer to you is, 'If Not You, Then Who Else?'" Wow!  What a powerful phrase!  If Not You, Who Else may mean: You are the most suitable person, and we can't find anyone better than you.  This is appreciation at the highest level How can you push this responsibility to someone else? I am making a request to you specifically, please don't reject my request Can you find me another person more suitable than you? Please refer me anot

Kindness as a Way of Life: How Kindness can Reward You 6 Times Over

Kindness as a Way of Life by Andy Ng Kindness is a universal language that transcends cultural boundaries, enriches human connections, and has the power to transform lives. It goes beyond mere acts of charity or random good deeds. To me, kindness, when practiced as a way of life, becomes a profound philosophy that can shape our interactions with others, the world around us, and even our own well-being. In this article, we will explore the multifaceted aspects of kindness as a way of life, touching on non-violent communication, the limitations of traditional charity, the potential harms of helping, the deliberate cultivation of kindness, and the incredible rewards it brings. 1.       Non-Violent Communication Non-violent communication (NVC) is a key component of practicing kindness as a way of life. Developed by Marshall B. Rosenberg, NVC emphasizes empathetic communication that seeks to understand and connect with others on a deeper level. It encourages active listening, empath

New Age Mobile Numerology

Many people look at 'mobile number change luck' with skepticism, they say, how can just one simple mobile number change create so many changes in a person's life?   Also, the mobile numbers are given to us by random by the telcos, how can our fate be assigned by the telcos at random? Besides, isn't it true that our lives and fates are determined by birth and what we do, how can a small mobile number, which is a modern invention, have any effect?  How about people in the past without mobile numbers?  You mean they don't have a life without mobile numbers, right? One more thing: you cannot just change your mobile number and expect your life to change. If this is so, wouldn't everybody be rich just by changing their mobile numbers? Finally, isn't this kind of fortune-telling thing more of psychology and blind faith than science?   If so, how can we trust anything that is not proven and not science? Today let's resolve all these doubts and I welcome your co
