Top 10 things I took from *YOGA* to define my management style

<1> Breathing

Whenever you face a tough situation, stop and breathe. Clarity will come. Your calmness will also be reflected outward…

<2> Nothing comes easy

You must work hard to achieve your goals. If it came easy, you probably did not aim high enough. You advance by pushing through your ever-changing limits. 

<3> Know your limits

Having said the above, there are limitation that you should respect. It could be physical, political or resource related. Those limits may break you instead of being broken themselves.

<4> Be Humble

Ego is a terrible enemy in all aspects of life. Know that you may not be the best person in the room. Respect other people’s space/opinions/achievements.

<5> All have their strengths and weaknesses

People are different. What comes easily and naturally to one may be extremely challenging to another. Understand that and allocate tasks based on that.

<6> The strength of a team

Though not always intuitive, there is strength in doing things collectively. Especially when being properly orchestrated.

<7> Receptiveness for adjustments

Often a task can be done much more effectively if you let someone correct you. Allow yourself to accept criticism. The input can come from above, from sideways or from below. 

<8> Exploring

You can always learn something new by getting out of your comfort zone. Change position, adjust your view, start over from a different angle.

<9> Look at others

Not for competition but for inspiration. Don’t get locked in your shell, assuming there is no better way of doing what you do. Learn from the experience of others.

<10> The usage of mirror

Not for vanity purpose, but for self-reflection. You always need to check yourself whether you are doing the right thing. Self-awareness should naturally lead to improvement.
