Let's Get Real by Binod Shankar
“Admit that you are a jerk or becoming one. Like I said, the reaction will be shock, denial, anger and then finally acceptance. Self awareness at this level is extremely tough and hence quite rare.”

“You must invite honest and accurate feedback. Surround yourself with people who care and aren’t afraid to speak up to you directly, face to face.”
Binod Shankar, Let's Get Real: 42 Tips for the Stuck Manager

“What exactly are values? Values are not your skills or knowledge but things that you acquired unconsciously since childhood. You may think that you can change yourself enough to cope with the demands of a career. Be careful because it’s much easier to acquire skills than to change values. Hence the importance of matching your values with the, organizational culture.”
Binod Shankar, Let's Get Real: 42 Tips for the Stuck Manager

“Most of the time your employer doesn’t really care about your career. All you are to them is a skilled and loyal resource. So don’t expect HR to regularly track a file marked “X’s Career.” Grasping this harsh reality should be the beginning of change.”

Binod Shankar, Let's Get Real: 42 Tips for the Stuck Manager

“If you can manage your mind (thoughts, emotions, and feelings), body, and behaviours you will gain a lot of credibility and trust in the eyes of your team. They also won’t fear you (or your unpredictability/changes in mood) and instead will open up to you. That level of trust and respect will in turn unleash better communication and cohesion within the team. You may even be sought after as a mentor.”
Binod Shankar, Let's Get Real: 42 Tips for the Stuck Manager

“I was not always self-motivated. There were patches (occasions in my twenties and thirties) where my motivation would plummet, often for weeks on end. So, I have been on both sides and have a wider perspective. Based on that, I can tell you there will be several major career reasons why you should motivate yourself and not rely on others to push you. If you are a leader (or a wannabe leader) you must be inspired and fully engaged at work. Because if you don’t motivate yourself, how will you motivate others?”
Binod Shankar, Let's Get Real: 42 Tips for the Stuck Manager

“If you stay where you are, you will remain anonymous. Once you start doing unusual stuff you immediately become visible.”
Binod Shankar, Let's Get Real: 42 Tips for the Stuck Manager

“Talk about mistakes, failures, and disasters. People love tales of zero to hero.”
