Legal Corner Icon — the image was hosted by the publisher and was not captured.WE had in our Guest Column carried a four-part series titled "Mid-Career Training Programme – the Value of Training” by Dr. G. Sreekumar Menon, Commissioner (Appeals), Goa who had attended the programme four months ago at the Indian School of Business (ISB), Hyderabad and thereafter at the Maxwell School of Syracuse University, U.S.A .
The Chief Commissioner, Pune Zone, felt it apt to organize a similar workshop at his workplace and, therefore, invited Dr.Menon to disseminate among the officers, the valuable insights gained by him.The audience was told the importance of positive thinking, motivation, strategy and achievement, effective change, leadership, leadership styles, difference between personal traits and managerial traits, women in leadership positions and their style of functioning. The program was attended by officers of all ranks drawn from Pune I & III, Central Excise and Pune Customs Commissionerate.
The participants were also treated to a pep talk by Mr.Gopinath, Additional Commissioner, Pune Customs, who too emphasized the importance of self-motivation and benefits of positive thinking and actions for organizational and personal growth.
Positive thinking and self-motivation are badly needed these days what with the Cadre Review in CBEC yet to become a reality.
