Thanks for compiling this list. Th e major learning is the one from Mr. Simmons blog – Nine important points to take care in order to flurish in industry. Show acceptance and positive regard for others, Be polite and considerate, not arrogant and rude, Treat each employee as an individual. Remember important details about the person (like their name!), Be patient and helpful when giving instructions or explanations, Provide sympathy and support when the person is anxious or upset, Express confidence in the person when there is a difficult task. At the same time, we must know that each of the nine points asks for a high command of English and communicaiton skills – especially the ability of framing and de-framing. In a cross-cultural set of employees – like many languages – English is the only language one can depend upon. I think we must focus on our ability to converse and inspire. Our company and many other companies in Sanfancisco Bay Area use certain programs which are based on the principle of Cotent-Based Instruction. World’s no1 English program based on Content-based Instruction is Espoir Smart Communication through Management Ideas, Smart English through Technology & Science etc. I would like to tell all MBA aspirants that how much command you can achieve over English, please do that – otherwise, you will remain as a clerk – just like a store clerk!!

8. Provide assistance with the work when it is needed.

9. Be willing to help with personal problems.

Thank you SO MUCH for including Management Craft on this great list. I am honored and humbled to be mentioned and am thankful for your endorsement of my blog. I have been writing Management Craft for five years, and I am sure the blogging process (and my readers!) have taught me much more than I have taught others. It is such a gift. I believe that management hard and is a craft and a privilege and enjoy sharing stories and suggestions that I learn about.

Fully agree on Umair Haque’s Edge blog. If I’m only allowed to read 1 blog per week, this one would be it…not sure why he doesn’t have a book out yet, though…

Hi CV, thanks for pointing out Umair Haque's site... I hadn't seen that one before. I guess Bob Sutton must be on vacation? or teaching intensively? No blog posts from him recently. The blog I've been enjoying recently that I think is suited for MBA readers is by Terri Griffith, at Santa Clara University. She writes about innovation, organizational learning, and how new technologies are opening up new possibilities for collaboration. Hope all is well with you! .-= Sandy´s last blog ..sailing through organizational change =-.
