Spark Of The Corporate

Warren Buffet

Chairman & CEO,

Berkshire Hathaway

  It takes 20 years to build a reputation and five minutes to ruin it....

For somebody born during the so-called first great depression and, subsequently, raised in a healthy, value-based yet progressive environment, to pick up an interest in the stock market - when the ideal virtue, and hence, the choice would have been to work hard to earn your bread- would have gone down as just an aberration if the person who did that hadn,t turned out to be one of the most successful businessmen whose life itself became the master-book on investing. He was named the top money manager of the 20th Century (Survey by the Carson Group, ahead of Peter Lynch and John Templeton) in 1999.

This write-up is not in the least trying to say what hasn,t been already said, talked or written about Warren Edward Buffet. Rather, it is -more or less- a celebration of the personality that Buffet is. Such are the achievements, accomplishments, and successes (I,m already running out of nouns, adjectives won,t stand a chance!) of this very simple genius who, in the final analysis, will also have earned recognition as one of the most outstanding human beings this planet has ever seen. Not for his shrewd investments, not for being the torch-bearer of the bulls in the face of the raging bears, and not even for chartering his own path of success and showing the path to millions of others. What will stand out though will be his approach toward life: extract the maximum out of life - not by short-cuts (it is quite ironic that most tend to think investing in stocks to be a short-cut to making a quick-buck as opposed to Buffet, who always treated it as a business) by thinking, working-hard, not being afraid to take decisions for both, self as well as common good, staying rooted to the core values of life, and at the end of it all, giving back to the world in his own way.

Any amount of praise is less for Warren Buffet, so one is better off talking about something else. But one is tempted to at least say, 'Thank you Mr. Buffet for being such a great example: of wisdom, vision, simplicity, and humility."

There are bad and good bosses and most of the times bad bosses take the credit of the work their subordinates do. At times your boss may speak to other people in the organization and refers your work or ideas without giving credit to you. Some employees in their company face this problem and they do not know what to do. This could be hard to tell as it may lead to serious situations. If your boss is really taking the credit of your work for his/her own growth, you should definitely become alert and take some precautions. Here are some suggestions:

Document all your work: Do not give any best ideas in personal or private conversation or through emails. Every organization maintains a status report. Therefore take the advantage of this and document all your work. If you do this, it will become difficult for others to stake a claim on your work. Create files for yourself and document your day to day work.

Have a discussion with your boss: If you really feel that your boss has taken all the credit of your work and is getting personally benefitted with that, try to have non-defensive conversation with your boss. Ask them for a clarification on why the omission took place. Try to discuss how that can be rectified and move on. Don’t attempt to nail them, it will only go bad.

Long term employment Gaps

Most of them have employment gaps in their resume and this may hurt their chances of getting hired. Also if one has a stable employment with a company and they did not show any progress during their employment, then this will also not make an impressive mark on the potential employer who is viewing the resume. When an employee sticks with a company for many years, it can be taken in two ways: one is that the company is very good and you are lucky enough to be associated with the company. Second thing is that you don’t like to take up new challenges and you don’t like to step out of the comfort zone. Some employers take it positively and some employers take it negatively because of following reasons:

• They doubt about your ambitions and motivations: If an employee has been working with the same company for years and their resume shows the title same as when they started, then the employer will think that you have not reached to the peak of your career. Employers always look for people who are ambitious and motivated to progress.
