Quantum Consciousness - 1

Some very exciting work being done in the area of 'Consciousness'​ at my Alma Mater, DEI University (Dayalbagh Educational Institute). You would have seen recent news articles about IBM launching a full fledged Quantum Computer in the next few years. 
DEI's path breaking research and work goes deep into the subject of Consciousness and Quantum Theory, linking the two. 
Through this post I invite interested researchers and all inquisitive 'scientists'​, which is all of us, to pursue abstracts of a few publications by research groups at DEI Centre for Consciousness Studies, @DEIQntmNanoCntr, that have been published in International Journal of General Systems.

The First of these is as below.

Do visit, read and comment on the research.

Take Responsibility

Character is how you behave when you screw up.

Do you admit it was you who was responsible or do you look for someone or circumstances to pass on the blame to?

I have found that taking responsibility of the consequences of your actions or inactions is probably the single biggest contributor to promoting you from person to leader.
Life is about making choices – sometimes we don’t make the right choices. It turns out we could have done or selected better. Acted more prudently or not acted at all. What will differentiate you from others is how you act or react to criticism when you messed it up.

There will be many occasions where you will have to decide to take on a tough assignment, which will call strain your energy time. When you will see others go back home and probably be watching a match on the tele while you are in office. When you look around and see only yourself working at middle of the night. Take these opportunities and deliver to your best.

Never shirk responsibility. You will never look back to regret it.

There is a old verse in hindi – “Girte hain sheh savar he maidane jung mein, woh murda dil kya khaak girega jo gutnon ke bal chale”

“It is only the brave-heart riders who fall in the battlefield, what will the weak hearted coward fall who crawls on his knees”

Mentors are Approachable

Mentors are somewhat like best friends. You can call at middle of the night and be assured the call will be picked up.

Mentors are seen to be available, perceived to be approachable, someone who can be called at any time the mentee seeks help, support and advise.

From an organization perspective, mentors need not necessarily be senior managers, they can be at any rung of an organization heirarchy, they can even be outside the organization. Though, for advise on organization issues, it might be difficult to share organization specific information with an external mentor.

Are all leaders true mentors?
Not necessarily.

Traits associated with Mentors include; being approachable, qualities equivalent to a coach, who guides, coaxes, supports, repriminds, applauds, in required proportion and at the right time.

It is not necessary that every time the mentee approaches to weep on the mentor's shoulder, he or she gets to be cuddled; the mentor could well admonish and scold;

More on qualities of mentors in my coming posts.

Cheers

Mentors as Lighthouses

This is a new blog that I am starting, on leadership and how leaders can be effective mentors. My writings in this blog combined with my other blog 'Perspectives on Leadership' http://offshoreleader.blogspot.com/ will, I hope, cover issues and practices related to Mentors and mentorship and serve as a bouncing board for ideas and perspectives on how leaders can be effective mentors.

I will also touch upon the need for leaders themselves to have mentors who can guide an assist leaders to lead better. Somewhat like ancient lighthouses, or now GPS systems, that even the best of captains rely upon to guide their ships. Of course, knowledge of the seas, of routes and winds, of rocks and channels help; but a good captain knows that nothing compares to a beacon of light, sometimes well known and sometimes a pleasent surprise, that reaffirms and confirms that he is on the right route, in time, with his cargo safe and sound.

So will these writings touch upon these lighthouses of mentorship and their relevance for even the best and most experience leaders.
