Difference between BOSS and Great Leaders !!!

We must have noticed this and even experienced this at places where we work and many times we are not able to differentiate between a BOSS and a Good Leader

The distinction between the manager (BOSS) and leader is also about the risks (or perceived risks) that either will take. 

Managers tend to be risk-averse whereas leaders are generally more likely to take risks, although this does not necessarily make them thrill-seekers. Leaders are concerned with fulfilling their vision and therefore consider it natural to encounter problems and barriers that must be overcome along the way. They are generally more comfortable with risk and therefore accept that the direction needed to reach their vision is not always the easiest path.  A leader can turn problems into opportunities and will happily break rules in order to get things done.  Managers tend to be more focused on the status quo and will try to minimize risk.

A surprising number of leaders have overcome some form of handicap in their lives: for example, traumatic childhoods, dyslexia, and even being shorter than average. This perhaps taught them the independence of mind that is needed to do things differently, take risks, and to not worry about what others are thinking about them.

Managers have subordinates, people who work under them and follow the rules.  Leaders, at least when they are leading (many are also managers), have followers.  Following is a voluntary action and is achieved. Leaders often use transformational benefits as motivators for their followers, that is the belief that somehow the follower will become a better person for following. 

The roles of manager and leader are often blurred and, due to individual personalities and skills, it may not always be obvious who is a leader in any given situation.  

YES  but many times we have to follow the below 2 GOLDEN RULES may be not out of choice but for some other personal reason

CHEERS!!!!

How to get an online EPF pass book

Employees Provident Fund (EPF), generally known as PF is a retirement benefit scheme available to the salaried class in India, wherein both the employer and employee contribute an equal amount towards the fund. This year, the EPFO (Employees Provident Fund Organization) has introduced an e-passbook facility for members, which enables them to check their PF account online.

What is an EPF e-passbook?
The EPF e-passbook is an online version of the employee’s provident fund account. Transactions are recorded date-wise and these can be tracked easily by the member. You can check your EPF balance online anytime you wish to.

How to register online?
Registration on the EPFO website is necessary to avail the e-passbook facility. The following steps need to be followed to register online -

1. Visit the EPFO members site - http://members.epfoservices.in/
2. Click on the “Register” at the bottom of the page or “Click here to Register” button under the Login area.
3. You will reach the registration page, where you will have to enter your mobile number mandatorily. You will also need to enter your date of birth, email id and select one of the eight documents (PAN number, Aadhar (UID), NPR (National Population Register), bank account number, voter ID card, driving license, passport number or ration card number) along with its unique number and your name as it is in the document. On entering a six digit unique text character, you will have to click “GET PIN” to get a four digit authorization PIN on your mobile.
4. Once you receive the PIN on your mobile, you will have to enter this PIN in the box provided at the bottom of the page. Check the “I agree” box and click on “Submit” button.
5. After clicking on “Submit”, your registration will be complete and you will get a confirmation message on your mobile.

This completes the registration process on the EPFO member website.

How to generate e-passbook?     
After successful registration, you will need to login to your account in the member login area to generate the e-passbook. The following steps need to be followed.

1. Log in to your account by selecting your document, entering the document number and your mobile number that you entered on the Registration page and click on the “Sign In” button.

4. On selecting the state, you will be asked to choose the EPFO office. If you are unaware about the EPFO to which you belong, you can use the establishment search facility to get these details.
5. When you have selected the EPFO office, you should now enter your EPF account number. The next step is to enter your name, which should exactly match EPF records.
6. Click on “Get PIN” to receive the PIN on your mobile and email. Do not close this page till you receive the PIN on your mobile/email.
7. When you receive the authorization PIN, you will need to enter this in the “Enter Authorization PIN” box, check the “I Agree” button and then click on “Get Detail”.
8. You will then be able to download the PDF.

Points to remember while using EPFO’s e-passbook facility:

1. Only one mobile number can be used for one registration. However, your mobile number details can be edited subsequently.
2. You can view details of only one EPF account under one establishment. If you wish to view details of all your EPF accounts under a single establishment, then you will have to first transfer one EPF to another.
3. You can view a total of 10 EPF accounts under different establishments. You can view your accounts any number of times and transfer old EPF accounts to existing ones too.
4. You will not be able to view details of inoperative accounts and also EPF accounts which have been settled.
5. If you have left your job before March 2012, then you will not be able to see details online. However, you can place a request for the same on the website and it will be uploaded in a few days.
6. For logging into your account you just need your mobile number, document name and document number.
7. You can use multiple ids to register by using different document types.

The EPFO’s e-Passbook facility is a easy way in which employees can manage their EPF accounts. Now the trouble of visiting various offices and follow outdated procedures  comes to an end.

Do try and register and get to know your account balance with the click of a mouse

How to get to the Top !!! Success

Success!!! Sky is the Limit

 LADDER TO SUCCESS

We are now living in the Highly complex world. There is competition in every field of life . It begins when we are born and ends at the time we go back to dust. We are on a run for money, name and fame. Every person wants to succeed and supersede his fellows, rivals and competitors we see competition in every sphere of life .In the school there is competition among children, in politics among politicians, in playground between players, at work with colleagues and yes even at home with brothers and sisters  etc. Everyone wants to see him or herself on the top or to be the first in a short span of time. It hardly matters to the people which path they adopt to reach their goal. People are adopting inferior methods to reach their destination. They want to succeed by hook or by crook. Minds of people have become so polluted that they even do not bother even that they are hitting below the belt or are adopting corrupt means for reaching at the top of ladder of success. We have to put each and every step very safely to reach the top of ladder You have to be very careful when you just start stepping on the ladder of success; as there are many people watching and jealous and want to pull you down.. Always remember never cut the ladder that has taken you to the top . If you want yourself to be counted among the list of successful people certain changes in your thinking pattern, behavior and manners are needed and are mandatory.

The Following tips may prove to be very helpful in your life:

Fix your Goal --- First of all fix your Goals . Once you have fixed your Goal and made up your mind, than start making a road map how to achieve this goal . Always keep in mind that a person cannot have one goal and he has to bifurcate between long term and short term goals . You must have full confidence, determination, dedication and positive mind. After setting your goal the second thing is perseverance. Do not change your goal repeatedly but always keep in mind that you have to modify the goals as and when required and your goals should be flexible.

Work with Intelligence ---You can win your task by doing daily hard work. Hard work is the key to success but always keep in mind we have to do it with intelligence. You might have listened from successful people that there is no substitute or alternative to this hard work. There is no short cut to success.

Do not blame and curse your luck – Yes many believe in luck but it is not always that counts . It is important that whenever anything wrong happens you have to see the positives and ignore the negatives and yes move strongly towards achieving your goals.

 Self confidence –Self confidence is the hallmark of success. Half the goal is achieved when you start your work with full self confidence and determination. A wavering mind cannot succeed in spite of hard work. Always think positive and be optimist that I have the capacity to undertake this task to its logical end.

Self analysis –Do your self analysis on daily basis. Introspection is must to succeed in life. Those who introspect they become aware of their inadequacies and short comings and in the mean time they can amend it. Analyze and ponder over your weakness or vulnerabilities

Learning – You have to keep learning at every stage of your life . it starts when you are born and ends when you die. You have to learn from others mistakes as you cannot afford to make mistakes.

Employ Professionals  It is always important to employ professionals in every field and use them to make your dreams come true and achieve your goals. If you hire professional people or take their advice it is always 90% sure to get to the top. We cannot be professional in every field and so it makes sense to put the right person at the right place to work.

At the end i must say wish you all good luck and one more thing Always believe yourself as it is you who is the best judge.
