Nominations Invited for Inclusion in a Book on “Effective People” by T. V. Rao
Nominations Invited for Inclusion in a Book on “Effective People” by T. V. Rao
One of the fathers of Indian HRD, Dr TV Rao is writing a new book for publication in late 2014, Effective People. The book will be a timeless, inspirational book for everyone on how to be effective in their day-to-day life, whatever their role – and is he appealing for case studies of effective people from all walks of life for inclusion within the book.
As he describes, anyone who discovers inner talent and uses it to make a difference in the lives of other people by benefitting them can be considered an effective person. We are all born talented and grew up in different settings. However, there are those who master their circumstances and change them through their inner talent. These people may be Teachers, Social Workers, Doctors, Nurses, Lawyers, Self employed, Entrepreneurs, Civil Servants, Development workers, Businessmen, Managers, Chartered Accountants, Scientists, etc. His new book attempts to draw lessons from the lives of such effective people from various fields.
A large number of effective people don’t speak for themselves. They may not even be aware that they made a difference in the lives of others. This book will present short stories of selected people and draw lessons for others from their lives.
As many effective people may not even be aware that they are rated as effective, Dr Rao is inviting nominations from others giving the following details: Name and address of the person (to enable us to contact them), along with a short write up of the talent and achievements, the ways in which the person has made a difference in the lives of others and the sources from where we can get more information. A short case study of a page is welcome.
Selected cases will be included in the book and some of them may be interviewed or contacted by e-mail for more details. Please write to: [email protected].
