THE MANAGEMENT TIP OF THE DAY: Harvard Business Review

Small Steps Can Put Work Goals Within Reach
Setting work goals is easy. Accomplishing them is another matter. If you want your resolutions to stick, you need to:
Commit publicly: Write down your goals, and share them with your manager, peers, direct reports, friends, and family.
Create a plan of action: Think step-by-step tactics. If your goal is, for example, to develop a more trusting relationship with your direct reports, take them to lunch individually and start engaging with them on a more personal level.
Recruit support: Colleagues, mentors, your significant other, or a professional coach can be both your cheering squad and sounding board.
Set milestones: As time goes by, it becomes more difficult to stay motivated. You need regular signals that reinforce what you’re working toward, such as a reminder on your phone or a recurring “meeting” on your calendar for thinking about what your goals mean to you and your career.

The secrets of Australian success in cricketing world.
By Sunil Gavaskar:
IN the end, it was a horribly one-sided final. Australia just packed too many guns for New Zealand and steamrolled to another world title, their fourth in the last five World Cups.
It is a tribute to their system which has consistently produced top class players and will continue to do so for years to come.
There is accountability at all levels; there is no room for sentimentality and only the deserving get to don the country’s colours.
So what is it about Australia that makes them so good at the international level?
It could well be the competitive nature of their grassroots cricket at the club level which inculcates a fierce sense of competition as well as loyalty towards the institution and teammates.
