        whom a particular view-point is getting generated from.
        The biggest fallacy which a particular commander, or even a   YOU WILL NOT COME BACK
        human resource manager, could go for is placing too much
        reliance on hearsay. To exemplify a worse manifestation of         The Martyr’s wife tells her husband to

               One of the prominent aspects of a commander’                      From where nobody can come back
        personality is leadership. While most would agree that the               Listed your name in Golden Word
        golden rule for survival at workplace is “the boss is always                     “Shahid Jawan”
        right”, what sets apart a commander from others is the                   They think so...........
        capability to take a firm decision but, as Rudyard Kipling                         But I believe

              Another manifestation of leadership is the quality
        of leading by example. While I may not agree that the                    There, how can I believe that?
