FROM THE EDITOR


What a dilemma! You are asked to reduce budget, cut costs, and reduce expenses. However, you need your BEST to gain market share, compete for customer cash and emerge from the recession as a winner.
It’s a lesson learned that, the quality of your inside is visible to your outside. The quality of a company is a function of the quality of people it keeps.
It takes great effort, as well as high risk to work on gaining the best human capital available, gain their loyalty and hence get the best out of them.
If granted advices are something that exists, then I would advise you to:

• Take bigger risks to move your career forward.Make big plays. Take initiative for change at a strategic level. Bigger risks help your career because you stand out, differentiate, and accomplish great things.
• Work on your business skills, gain more talents, develop your capabilities, aim high and be ready for the competition.

And finally know that 2010 is the year of come back, it the year where everyone, and every corporate will strive to make up his loses and regain his market share, it’s the year of competition, so be ready.
