INDIA
HAS POTENTIAL BUT IT IS UNDERPRODUCING
IN BUSINESS (10.02.2007)
It Is Time For India
Inc To Come Out Of Comfort
Zones, Says International
Performance Coach Lou Tice
INDIA has enormous potential
but it is under delivering
and under producing in business.
The country needs its people
to come out of their comfort
zones and desire to achieve
greater goals, instead of
being pushed into doing something,
says international performance
coach Lou Tice.
Mr. Tice, The Pacific Institute
(TPI) co-founder-chairman,
told reporters in Chennai
on Friday, that a study. Which
covered 207 firms over an
11 years period, showed adaptive
culture to have a dramatic
effect on corporate performance.
From 1% the net in come soared
to 756% due to this approach.
The global corporation has
been specializing in performance
improvement and professional
growth, change management
and leadership development.
TPI has helped organizations
move to the next level of
performance. In India, CGN
and TPI-India run seminars
with participants from GAIL,
TCS, Sundaram Clayton and
HCL, among others.
"We want to share knowledge
with other parts of the world.
The Chinese Olympics team
has engaged us. In Japan,
we have been there for 12
Years. In Australia for 27
years. And, yet look at where
most of the people actually
live. It is about time to
go to a place, where majority
of the people live (India).
I had to come out of my comfort
zone to undertake this trip
at 71 years," he added.
He said the fear of failure
made people seek comfort zones.
Tension and anxiety results
in negative creativity and
the person always looks to
go back to familiar surroundings,
his family or his comfort
zone.
Through CGN, the TPI parent
company in India, cognitive-based
leader ship and excellence
concepts are being promoted,
CGN and Associates Chairman
Seshadri Guha said. The focus
areas for the TPI exclusive
licensee, which has two offices
in New Delhi and Chennai,
were corporates, educational
institutes and NGO, he added.
Later, CGN managing principal
Kris Arvind told ET the $30
million company, employing
300 people globally, is aiming
for $100 million by [2012].
It has a MoU with the Indian
Institute of Public Administration
to run the curriculum across
12 centres. Other companies
to evince interest were HP
and NTPC. A two-day leadership
seminar for a person costs
Rs 25,000.
