This book has evolved from a collection of my thoughts, observations and evaluations, which I have jotted down over the last seven years. These are based on lessons I have drawn from my own experiences, and an analysis of people who have achieved success in various fields. I never dreamt that I would one day write a book on management thoughts! Frankly speaking, I have no formal training in management, and I am no expert on management theories. I had to write, in order to communicate my thoughts to our managers and staff, who are geographically dispersed in various places.- - ;:}-- .. _-.
Many people believe that the 'V' in our brand name stands for 'We'. At the functional level, it is the concept of 'We', which is the driving force behind 'V-Guard'. Teamwork is the secret of our success. Through this book, 'We' have once again proved our strength. A list of the names of all those who helped to put together this book, would run into several pages.
I express my heartfelt thanks to all of them for their sincere efforts. A special word of thanks to all those who consented to write their opinions about the book, and also wrote the Foreword. Once ag6in, I thank everyone involved, especially those who encouraged and motivated me to keep writing my thoughts, and many others who were in some way, involved in publishing this book.
