I came across a site that has a loading time of 180+seconds. When discussing about how to fix such sites, a person who has steep corporate culture/experience, informed these notes. Very interesting... Politics... Politics... Create more and more politics. Create politics on URLs, labels, design and any weird things. Also, create mad/unnecessary competition--competition without any excellence. Hype... Hype ... Create fake hype around the crap site. Make everyone speaks about it. Team building = poaching! Look for good performers in other team and poach them. Break other team through sneaky attempts. Get help of cabals. Factoid... Factoid... Spread rumors and factoids about other teams. Appraisals... Appraisals... Recommend more and more appraisals for sycophants. Flexibility... Flexibility... Treat sycophants like scientists and throw them with flexible timings. Still defend them so that you'll also be praised. Time++ Time++ Develop the project for 13+ months; ...

If you ask a single question and get 10-different indirect answers, then the person might be a westerner. If you get 5-different indirect answers, then the person might be from Indian corporate mafia. If you happen to read any sane corporate interviews, it might be either from  Shiv Nadar or Shivkumar (of Nokia). The reason must be that both are Tamilians. (On a personal note, I strongly believe that only Tamilians and Tamil TV channels have "to the point" discussions/communication). Having said, I keep following Shiv Nadar's interviews and news (Wikipedia says that he's alumnus of The American College!)... and recently found that he started Shiv Nadar University  ... Great story.

Like I mentioned before , I often used to say that "trust is the binding force and hope is the driving force". The things that destroy the team I have noted are: Cabals They are always opinionated, push themselves, bypass their reporting people/hierarchy, look for other cabals to understand the "shortcuts", etc. I find these people are quite damaging, they can never trust their reporting people--even though the reporting person is quite rational. Cynic bossism These people will never trust their immediate subordinates. They'll constantly spy their subordinates as they're panic and will try to see if they have better subordinate below their immediate subordinates. By doing so, they always damage morale of their subordinates, their spirit for the team, etc. Often these people will have their enemy within their own / peer level than from sub-levels. Though many times I have noted that these people are quite damaging, till now, I have no experience in ...

I often used to tell that "trust" is the binding force of team. Now, I have added "hope" as survival of life/business/team.
