Global competition is about winners and losers.
David Korten
As we grow up in our career, we have to improve the quality and the quantity of our deliverable in an environment of uncertainty and scarcity of resource. This is growth in real sense. Growth is not merely in salary and perquisite. The key question is: are we capable of achieving amidst challenging environment.
We live in a world of international opportunities and global competition. In fact there is no other option except to become globally employable. If our deliverable is not of world standard, we will be eliminated. It is the age of survival of the fittest. When it comes to global competition, either you win or lose, there is no question of existing!
The other day I was looking at a rare picture of Sachin Tendulkar returning to the pavilion after hitting his first test century. He was 119 not out. This was a test match against England in 1990 in Manchester. At that time Sachin Tendulkar was just 17 years! This is what I call as the international standard.
We have to learn from the sports people who have really stretched themselves to world standards by working very hard and remaining focused on their career dreams.
Over this weekend benchmark your standard with reference to the world class standard and work out a strategy to bridge the gap.
