They seek workplaces that respect their time, trust their judgment, and align with their lifestyle. And that’s where flexible work policies come into play.
POSITIONAL POWER and PERSONAL POWER
"…if you want to test a man’s character, give him power." When he uttered those profound words, I guess Abraham Lincoln was hinting at a person's Positional Power, which can be given as well as snatched.

Leadership & Mimicry!
The India versus West Indies test series kicked off at Kotla yesterday with the visitors winning the toss and electing to bat first.
