Every end of the year brings a slew of learnings and a new year brings an equal if not more number of rsolutions. More on that a little later in the post but the biggest impact of the informal sector on real business.
India and Delhi in particular has seen a silent and hugely impactful show of mass power not seen apparantly since India's fight for independence. At least I do not remember seeing such power in silence in the last 4 decades that I recall. Yes, I am referring to public protest against women safety.
But more importantly, it is an even that makes public sensitivity to a new level where a very high profile new year party hosted by a prominent 5* hotel in India's millennium city, Gurgaon, was forced to be cancelled by the sheer social media force. The combine of facebook, twitter and others made the lead artist for the programme an undesirable personality as his compositions are not kind to women's modesty.
I think the businesses need to be far more careful about public at large as the real force is going beyond the voting booths.
Welcome to 2013....
Now on resolutions for the new year. Informal research shows that more than 95% of resolutions get modified within first 6 weeks of the year and ultimately more than 90% of resolutions fall short of the original promise - TO SELF.
So are the resolutions not to be made!
I would hasten to say - No No No - go ahead and make those resolutions with a new resolve. Just two add ons:
1. Make them public. More the better and faster the best. Falling in others' eyes is far more painful than falling in own eyes
2. Make promises with both the journey and destination. Say 12 kilos loss in a year with half a kilo in January....
It seems to have made me cross the line of above 90% or 95% percentile.
Have a great time in teh new year.
