During my management education, I was introduced to the concept of  KAIZEN . It is a Japanese word that simply means  "Continuous Improvement" . This concept was widely used in Japan to drastically improve the quality of production. Using this principle of continuous improvement, Japan leapfrogged to become a 2nd biggest economy in the world.

A lot has been said and professed about the leadership development within the team. I typically look for the people who exhibit the following traits: They think about the team:  I have had opportunity lead the team of exceptionally talented people who are now heading their respective teams. This traits one of the most conspicuous one. They think about the total team not for themselves alone. They always put the objectives of the team ahead of their own. They usually come out with new/better ideas to handle any situation:  When you take time out to think about the organisation, only then you get good ideas. This shows that you are thinking about the challenges of the group. That also shows how involved you are in what the team is trying to achieve. They give due credit to their team members:  It is often observed that some people in the team take
