I reminded myself of a book by Marshall Goldsmith : "What Got You Here Won't Get You There". 

I think I have spent lot of time(Years!) on making sure I take care of employees reporting to me, discussing on Employee development, Motivation and changing the behavior so that I can be a GREAT Manager/Leader. This has become my strength. I think some of these behavior is easily coming to me and I need not spend time (I do read blogs/books again and again) on learning these much.

I think I should concentrate on  something else(Technical aspects!) so that I do use my time wisely for better purpose and for my own career. I do have some thoughts on this and started on it. Let us see how far I go on this.

I thought of doing some reading on the VC Technology during Dec'14 Shutdown. However, I could not do that; I did not go to any movies or go out of Bangalore.

Welcoming 2015 with a well deserved! REST during Shutdown.

There is lot of work to do and lot of 'mentoring/coaching' to do. I did spend good amount of time with couple of people on making them understand 'what is CDP(Career Development Plan) mean for anyone" and explained how they can make use of it. I felt , I was much more enthusiastic than usual to provide them details. Felt , I was also assertive and clear in my communication on this.
