One of my valuable clients came back again with a new request on Tourism business – using Social Media. There are many websites available already – for ex: WAYN, but they wanted to have a detail discussion on ‘What more can be done’. The discussion happened in their office – for around 6 hours – non-stop with many examples, case studies, success stories, risks, and opportunities.
We discussed mainly about using Social Media (Facebook, Twitter etc) for Tourism based services, Health Tourism management, Lifestyle Programmes, Content Development and Broadcasting, Food and User Generated Information Management. We agreed to develop a framework using Facebook as a platform. I am happy to see some improvements every week.

Gandhi, CEO: 14 Principles to Guide & Inspire Modern Leaders
Two months before one of my friends suggested this book, when we were in Landmark Chennai. I finished reading it just last week. It’s an interesting book from Alan Axelrod. Alan is the author of more than 60 books, including the bestsellers Profiles in Audacity 9781402745317 and The Real History of the Cold War 9781402763021. He has appeared on MSNBC, the Discovery Channel, CNN, Fox, and numerous radio news and talk programs. Axelrod and his work have been featured in Business Week, Fortune, Men's Health, Cosmopolitan and many newspapers.
The book is very useful for new generation leaders and practical managers. Gandhi’s Personal Leadership and Institutional management are well explained through his management principles and personal/political life. Learning and Experience, The nonviolent CEO, Deciding, Revaluation and Revolution are very interesting titles to read. Every chapter is having collection of lessons. There are 14 Chapters and 100 lessons – every single lesson is giving a practical path for a leader of this generation.

How to Motivate your Employees
The business success comes from a team of motivated, hard/smart working employees – in any small and medium size company. In a seminar, I attended few years ago – I noted few valuable points about this topic, and I would like to share them here.
Creating a Positive Environment – Every employee should feel worthwhile and important. Such office environment gives a positive energy to employees, and it makes a productive office. The manager’s office door should be always open for staffs – their questions and concerns.
Career oriented growth – The manager should help the employees to reach to the next level professionally by providing on-site coaching – through their day to day works. There is professional one-to-one counseling available, which can help people learn how to overcome personal and professional obstacles on their career path.
Acknowledge every contributions – A manager can make a very big difference in employee morale simply by taking the time to recognize the contributions and accomplishments of every members in team.
Incentives – Offering incentives to members for best performance is a good practice. It can be something small like a gift certificate, or something more such as performance based bonus. “Employee of the Month”, “Star Performer” kind of treats will help a lot in motivating employees.
In my experiences, I crossed many success stories in my team – of course by implementing the above mentioned ideas.

The New Manager’s Handbook
The New Manager’s Handbook [24 Lessons for Mastering your new role] by Morey Stettner is a small, but an excellent guide for Professional education. There are 24 quick chapters with great practical examples and simple ‘How to handle’ steps for success. I received this book as a gift from one my managers, when I accepted my promotion in his team. I am getting some good time now days to read all these, once again.
