Five Cs by Gemba Karthikeyan




Five Cs
Dr R Karthikeyan, Founder, Gemba School of HR, Chennai says:
“Knowledge gets you in the race, Skills make you progress, and it’s your Attitude that helps you win the race”. 
While inculcating the right attitude for success, particularly while making the transition from Campus to Corporate, he suggests that every young aspirant must focus on the 5Cs which are both attitude-related as well as skill-based. Attitudinal ones are Compassion -  care and consideration for fellow human beings; Commitment – dedication to a cause, an assurance to fulfill; Courage – nerve and daring to stand up for values; and conviction. These attributes will have to be nurtured and made a part of one’s DNA. Skill based ones are Communication – convey to get things done; Creativity – break-out from the routine; unconventional approaches. These skill-based attributes can be enhanced through training and practice over time. 

A sixth ‘C’ can be added – ‘Celebration’. For this you need to develop the habit of recognising yourself, and often celebrating the occasion or event. There cannot be a better motivation than self-motivation. We have to pat ourselves on the back for a good job done. Celebration can also imply enjoyment or following a pursuit that gives sheer joy and or relaxation. As Vijay Talwar, CEO-Clinton Foundation suggests, “Getting a title or a promotion is not enough for an individual. Include in your goals other objectives like social causes. Have a balance and a realistic set of goals include family, spiritual, pleasure and health-related goals as well. Pursue your interests with passion. Follow your passion/heart and aim for a good quality of life. Reach out beyond materialistic goals”. With these six ‘Cs’ as a bridge, one can hope to cross many seas between the Campus and the Corporate.

Nature is Awesome

                Nature is Awesome Javed Chaudhary   · Y e s t e r d a y   a t   2 : 4 3   A M   · WHY DO DOGS LIVE LESS THAN HUMANS!!! Here's the surprising answer of a 6-year-old child. Being a veterinarian, I had been called to examine a ten-year-old Irish Wolfhound named Belker. The dog’s owners, Ron, his wife Lisa, and their little boy Shane, were all very attached to Belker, and they were hoping for a miracle. I examined Belker and found he was dying of cancer. I told the family we couldn’t do anything for Belker and offered to perform the euthanasia procedure for the old dog in their home. As we made arrangements, Ron and Lisa told me they thought it would be good for six-year-old Shane to observe the procedure. They felt as though Shane might learn something from the experience. The next day, I felt the familiar catch in my throat as Belker‘s family surrounded him. Shane seemed so calm, petting the old dog for the...

intelligence is not about knowledge

Joel Reid Science Teacher (Secondary) Updated 3y Was anyone 1,000 years ago as smart as someone with average intelligence today? I was teaching a science class in the Australian desert and the class was quietly working (it was a nice class). I looked out the window and I commented to no one in particular, “Looks like there will be a cyclone next week.” The students mostly started laughing and one piped up “The national meteorologists said that the low would pass by without any problem.” But there was a part of the class that did not object to my announcement… the local indigenous people. Instead they asked, “How do you [of European descent] know what our elders know?” I smiled and pointed out the window, “The wind has changed to go in the opposite direction, the clouds have moved north instead of south, and the corellas (a small cockatoo) have all left town and gone to shelter in Karijini (local mountain range).” The indigenous students were impressed and everyone else t...
