Therefore, don’t ignore, rather follow your taste, heart, instinct, sixth sense and intuition.

Design Effective Structure

Focus on effectiveness of decisions and things rather than on formalities of things. This is how you foster environment of timely and result oriented decisions. Effectiveness and efficiency not measured by hierarchies or designations, rather by results and achievements.

Whenever you face criticism try to sort them in two categories. First one is well mean critics; who mean well and want you to improve for better.

If you are aiming something big, something new and something innovative. Have a courage and open mind to be misunderstood.
