Re: [Assam] Fwd: Re: Sovereignty--Nothing succeeds like success.-Napolean Pope
I was seeing an exhibition on Napolean yesterday at National Geographic Scoeity's HQ -- how Napolean used the "Mentor" of Catholics - the Pope -- to get himself declared the Emperor of France.

Power Mentoring: How Successful Mentors and Protégés Get the Most Out of Their Relationships by Ellen Ensher and Susan Murphy Jossey Bass, 2005 November 7, 2005 Many prominent leaders across the public and private sectors attribute their success to the strong mentoring relationships they developed in their careers. Even Bill Gates, who rose from nerdy, disheveled programmer to software company giant, benefited from an early mentoring relationship: As a student at Seattles Lakeside High School, he landed his first computer job thanks to the guidance of a high school teacher, Fred Wright. Wright also mentored Gates classmates and fellow computer club membersthree of whom went on to become programmers at Microsoft, and another, Paul Allen, who co-founded Microsoft. In this book, management professors Ellen Ensher and Susan Murphy use Gates to explore the concept of power mentoring. Power mentoring simply means that protégés do not rely on one particular person for support, but rather strategically cultivate a variety of mentors for support and advice. The traditional mentoring relationship in corporate America used to involve an older, wiser executive who selected a protégé of similar background and career interests. Mentor and protégé may have attended the same college or shared the same social milieu. The mentor groomed the protégé in his image, dispensing professional wisdom as well as secrets of the organization. Ensher and Murphy, who interviewed fifty leaders in a variety of industries to ensure that their study included women as well as people of color, have identified a pattern more common today. Protégés do not hesitate to ask for help and are eager to learn from others. While a privileged background certainly gives some people a boost, others in the study rose from modest beginnings and overcame obstacles to attain their current level of success. The obvious audience for Power Mentoring is managers and professionals concerned about their own career development, but the book is also targeted at administrators of mentoring programs and anyone who teaches or conducts training about mentoring. It is hard to argue with the benefits of mentoring. But it is important to keep in mind that formal and informal mentoring programs within an organization carry the potential to emphasize inequity if such opportunities are not carefully institutionalized so that they are available to all staff. mm ___assam mailing listassam@assamnet.orghttp://assamnet.org/mailman/listinfo/assam_assamnet.org Can't remember an address in your address book?

Re: [Assam] Fwd: Re: Sovereignty--Nothing succeeds like success.-Napolean Pope
C-da, You did not see the analogy. Like Pope - is the PCG negotiating with GOI - and like Napolean is ULFA - which wants the appeal of PCG members to win public support for their coronation. Later to be discarded -- like Napolean tried to pressurize Pope to resign. What is the skill of ULFA members? Has any ULFA wing ever done any development work for Assam? Napolean never killed his own countrymen in trying to win power. UmeshChan Mahanta [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: ULFA can mentor anyone ? -- perhaps only in the art of killing - thats my view.

Re: [Assam] Fwd: Re: Sovereignty--Nothing succeeds like success.-Napolean Pope
I am very vocal about my doubt about the future of a sovereign Assam. However, in my opinion,the most pragmatic solution to all these debates onsovereignity lie in GOI agreeing to a referrendum to determine the fate of Assam. Both pro and anti sovereign parties should try to convince the people on the merits and ills of a sovereign Assam and then let the people decide what they want. The GOI and ULFA, NDFB etc should also have to moral courage to face the outcome of a referrendum held in a fair democratic way. Having said the above, if a referrendum is ever held to determine the future of the region, I would vote against sovereignity. In fact I am sure most of the people in the region feel the same way and the outcome of the referrendum will go against sovereignity. That's why I think GOI should agree to a referrendum. But we (whether pro or anti sovereignity group) should have the courage to face and honor the verdict of the people. I hope GOI will some day feel that way.Chan Mahanta [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: ULFA can mentor anyone ? -- perhaps only in the art of killing - thats my view. Anyone can have any view.
