 Abstract:
Cloud computing technology has been a new buzzword in the IT industry and expecting a new horizon for coming world. It is a style of computing which is having dynamically scalable virtualized resources provided as a service over the Internet. It reduces the time required to procure heavy resources and boot new server instances in minutes, allowing one to quickly scale capacity, both up and down, as ones requirement changes. Nevertheless the technology is hot in the market and is ready to cater to the small and medium business segment. As per one of the estimates from Gartner, by year 2012, 20% of enterprise market e-mail seats will be delivered via Cloud.

 A Harvard University survey found that while Fortune 100 companies rank leadership as their key strategic imperative, each admits that their training programs fail to produce the leaders they
need. How does your company resolve this critical contradiction?

Even when I am in the same job two years in a row, I find my job is completely different. I’ve been saying that this entire decade; constant change is the one thing that doesn’t change.
The skills and technologies I am compelled through my work to pick up, are often those I never envisaged I would need, and possibly never even heard of the year before.
The very kinds of unique technology skills that can make you indispensible are those that 15 years ago made you un-promotable, in a forgotten era of near-guaranteed employment. As a well meaning manager once explained to me earlier in my career “We’d love to promote you, but you’re the only one who can do the job you are doing today”. That lead me to change modus operandi and work hard to train my successor.

Pride. Envy. Gluttony. Lust. Anger. Greed. Sloth. You either recognize these as the seven deadly sins or as themes for prime-time television. Nonetheless, you were probably taught as a child that these are bad and you shouldn’t do them. For purposes
of this article, do as you were taught and think bad when you commit these similar sins in the workplace.
As leaders, we are continually being introduced to new techniques and theories. Hammer & Champy’s Business Process Re-engineering Model, McKinsey’s 7-S Framework, and Kenichi
Ohmae’s 3C’s Strategic Triangle are all examples of strategic models designed to help leaders think about their business in different and innovative ways. What sits on top of all of the models and frameworks, though, are a series of foundational attributes that every leader should possess if he or she is going to have demonstrated, sustained success as a leader.

I just finished a good book The Geek Gap: Why Business And Technology Professionals Don't Understand Each Other And Why They Need Each Other to Survive, by Bill Pfleging and Minda Zetlin. Well-written book: "suits" and "geeks" speak different vocabularies and in the communication gap, the business suffers.
But this got me thinking, what is more detrimental to the business is when geeks start acting like suits, and vice versa. In these transformations of thought and behavior the end is lost and means becomes the primary focus.

When You Assume …
What you don’t know can hurt you.
What you think you know can hurt you too.
I once heard an experienced project manager assert that a project could have infinite resources. Why did he think that? He’d taken a training course where the instructor
said it was so. When it comes to project management, we should examine
our assumptions periodically to decide if they are building blocks or
mental blocks.
