THE MANAGEMENT TIP OF THE DAY: Harvard Business Review
April 13, 2015
Prove Yourself Worthy of the CEO’s Inner Circle
In many companies, a lot of the decision-making power resides with the CEO’s inner circle. If you want to break into this elite club, make yourself stand out with a few strategies:
Make your numbers. Your CEO wants to know that you can achieve the objectives set for you – and that you’re accountable. Don’t make excuses when you fail.
Don’t spring surprises. If bad news is about to hit, tell senior management before it materializes. You don’t want to run the risk of appearing incompetent or unsure of yourself when your boss finds out from a board member or the media.
Prove your loyalty. CEOs still feel vulnerable – they know that one or more of their direct reports want their job. If you want to show that you’re loyal, be wary of cozying up to board members or forming coalitions with peers.

Few important suggestions (for the benefit of the poorest of the poor) submitted to the PM Pakistan on May 31, 2014.
An urgent proposal to the Prime Minister..!
Dear Mr. Prime Minister,
AoA.
A Watt saved is a Watt produced and the cost of installing 1MW powerhouse is approximately PKR 1 billion. We can save a minimum of 1000 MW per day, if countrywide all markets and offices are very strictly closed at 6 PM, along-with all TV and Cable TV is also shut down at 9 PM.
Extraordinary problems needs extraordinary solutions.
The above proposal will also give peaceful load shedding free nights to the teeming millions during the long hot and humid summer season, who can’t afford UPS, generators or solar power systems.
Hope your government will swiftly act to implement (even if issuance of an ordinance is required) the above proposals in the larger public interest, without fearing any backlash of the vested interests.
With kind regards and best wishes,
Syed Nayyar Uddin Ahmad
Lahore.
