Working with others

Commander's Intent


Don't tell others what to do, explain to them why you want them to do that.

Don't become a micro manager.

Craftsmanship Part - 1

In the last few days Craftsmanship has always been there in my mind. I have been trying to answer this myself,  later realized that I didn't have a clear picture about my craft and how to improve as a craftsman.

These are my current thoughts.

Craftsmanship is about doing what you love and doing it best.

It's about identifying your craft. For many like artists, carpenters it would be their job and they would be constantly looking for ways to improve their craft to master their craft, to become a craftsman.

Craftsmanship is not a destination, it is a life long disciple.

You will never become an expert craftsman, because their would always be something new to improve your craft. The disciple is to create a habit/mindset of constant research. When you begin with this habit, it won't sound to interesting because you are asking yourself to learn which is not everyone's cup of tea. But the slowly you will be able to see the results, you will start to see the improvement in your craft and you will start to enjoy the learning/ journey of becoming a craftsman.

Craftsmanship will be driven by passion and quality.

When you start to see your work as your craft, you will automatically start giving attention to the small details. The quality of your work will be driven or fueled by your passion for your craft.

I will share more thoughts about how other are doing research to improve their craft and will share more of my thoughts in the next blog.

Starting fresh and new.


I want to grow as a craftsman, always working to improve his craft every moment of the day.

What is my craft ? How do I become a good craftsman ? 

My craft is business, to be precise understanding and improving the software business.

To be come a craftsman I should learn about business and share my learning. To do that I intent to read the personal MBA book and share my learning. I also intent to share the daily tips and tricks learnt from my work.
