Battles are waged comfortably from behind computer screens, never having to make eye contact with the enemy... seldom producing decisive victories. Our penchant for the short-term is leading us down a blind-alley, is terms of progressive change and a sustainable future. And, the horrific realities of our impending extinction are watched with a sense of detachment; as infotainment - with either apathy or disbelief - in the comfort and misleading safety of our living rooms.<br /><br />As a researcher and advertising professional I have consistently come up against a wall with top leadership - when it comes to the "voyage" aspect of developing their brand & corporate trajectory. Every one of them wants a clinical, short-termed and cushioned solution . "No risks Sir ... give us the soft option" is what they unanimously seem to say. As a war veteran, I am reminded of the cliche that was drilled into us, time and again: "The more you sweat in peace the less you bleed in war "... and that was probably the reason why the 1971 war is still India's only decisive victory ... to date. <br /><br />Yes Ramesh, I feel your choice of substance : "The <br />Voyager Series", is not only relevant but also very appropriate considering the pivotal need for a shift in leadership mind-set today. Looking forward to participating in the next secession.<br /><br />John D LazaroJohn david Lazarohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16943565069645376269noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-604722717169210145.post-75461656699438232872009-06-05T20:11:11.224+05:302009-06-05T20:11:11.224+05:30Hi Priya

I think we need to know wha...Super idea Ramesh . <br />I think we need to know what heroes like Ramesh Ramanathan did when they flagged or got weary . <br />Most importantly stayed with their dream, and didnt give in to cynicism, as some of us would have . <br /><br />Wish I were there , but will be for the next one.Priya Chettynoreply@blogger.com
