LEADERSHIP TESTS

One-Minute Leadership Check-Up
(Answer true or false)
1. I am feeling relaxed, confident; with no pressures or problems…I have created such an efficient organization there is nothing much more to do. 2. Profits and customer ratings are at an all time high, and going through the ceiling.3. My people line up early to get back into the office after the weekend and say “I can’t wait to get back to this place…I feel so energized and excited about my job”.4. People at all levels of my organization are so driven by my compelling vision for the future that it is very hard to get them to go home at the end of the day.5. I am heralded by my boss and others as being a brilliant leader, and my staff is recognized as “break-through” thinkers who are continually coming up with new, creative ideas.6. Suggestions about needing a “timeout” now to rejuvenate and renew my leadership vision and energy are best ignored.7. Those such as ILGE, who are known for stimulating leadership transformations through their results-driven approach for leadership excellence, have no value for me.
SCORING KEY: Total up your T’s and F’s and use following guidelines: 6-7 t’s = “super-leader” – go celebrate; 3-5 t’s = “challenged leader” – sign up for one
of ILGE’s programs and services now; 0-2 t’s = “leader in crisis” – contact ILGE immediately

Aurat - 1967

This is the story of a hapless woman; the story of a woman’s sacrifice and her trials and tribulation of being born a woman.

Thus Parvati, the eldest child of a poor family had to sacrifice her joyful youth in taking care of her ailing mother and her siblings, remain uneducated to get her brother to pursue his education and dream of becoming a doctor, shun her lover and marry a wealthy man, Manoharlal, father of six, who would take responsibility of her family.

However when everything seemed settled, her brother Suresh falls in love with Manoharlal’s daughter Asha which results in Manoharlal cutting off the financial help to her family. However good samiritan comes in the form of Manoharlal’s estranged brother Ratanlal who along with Asha helps Suresh to take care of his family and complete his education, in the process Asha’s morality is suspected.

How the clouds of suspicion get cleared and how it all ends for these two women makes for an interesting story, Aurat.
