3. Asset Excellence: An Approach to Reinvent Yourself
Mastery of life is not a question of
control, but of finding a balance
between Human and Being. ‘Human’
when you are a simply ‘resource’ for
the organization and ‘Being’ when you
are an ‘Asset’ to your professional self
It is the story of a Human Being who
likes to balance her expansion in her
journey towards accomplishment

Professionals
 Professionals become powerful in last 10 years
 Organizations need them more than they need the
organization
 Their innovative ideas, thoughts, processes &
products can translate anything into economic value
and wealth.
& they need to be VRIN (Valuable, Rare,
Inimitable and Non-substitutable
(definition of a human asset)

Why Asset Excellence?
 As there is dynamism in the outside world like never before
 As professionals are vulnerable
 ‘Employability’ is the essence of their growth
 Professionals need to have complete self knowledge
 They need to lead a joyful living & avoid ‘depression’
 They have to act now when there is tremendous fear
 They need to be given a roadmap to do so
A knowledge seeker’s main task in
life is to give birth to himself.

Backdrop
We were all sleeping when world has
changed around us
 It is a new era of thinking thoughts and feeling emotions
 It is thinking beyond the lines, the obvious, the known
 It is an era of aligning Mission, Vision, Capabilities
 It is the game of expansion & accomplishment
 It is the time for radical transformation
Whatever propels the emotion of the mind, whatever
touches the depth of the spirit, has the vast potential
to make a difference in life.

Human Being
Intangible assets are the key
enablers for innovative capabilities
in an organization for the pursuit of
leading edge business value.
Knowledge professionals are thus
empowered by the economy to
create enormous value for the
organization and contribute for its
journey to achieve sustainable
competitive advantage.

Human Consciousness
Thought
Relationship
 Relationship: daily interactions, feelings, activities on surface
 Thoughts: that expresses itself occasionally through imagination
Is it possible to look at the whole
of consciousness?

Total Movement
Learning self
Acquiring Knowledge
 Acquiring knowledge (physical): of the past, learning
technology, subjects; accumulate and remember
 Learning about self (non-physical): Psychological field;
picks from the present, learning by observing, imagining;
requires more sensitivity; constant movement without past

13. Asset Excellence: An Approach to Reinvent Yourself
Reality of Life
 We are really conscious of ourselves and our organization
 Can I take it beyond organization? Can I become a light to
myself in the process of taking it?
How am I to indulge in developing self?
I observe myself in relationship to people, my
domain and my ideas.

The Truth
There is this huge domain
space out there to
acknowledge a knowledge
worker beyond the soft haze
of his organisation. Without
domain, a professional allows
himself to change & change
again with inconceivable
rapidity towards visionless
existence. Now is time for her
to create a brand before the
organisation does it for her.
For a professional the sky (Domain Space) is the ‘truth’; it is
visible from any mountain top (Organization).

A ‘Human Resource’ - an Organizational Being
 There is nothing new in him, nothing original. He is
told to perform certain rituals to gather knowledge. He
suppresses desires, control thoughts, sublimate
passions, limit appetites.
 In the long run, he possesses a broken mind denied
the beauty of the outer world; he seeks according to
distortions of his memories.
Traditional approach: Periphery inwards; mind is
incapable when it arrives at the centre.
AXELL APPROACH: EXPLODE FROM THE CENTRE.

Local and Universal
 Immaturity is in the ignorance of self. Understand self
is the beginning of wisdom.
 There is progress in technology. But, structurally the
society remains the same.
 Traditional mind is a local entity living in a particular
corner of a vast field and it remains unrelated to the
whole. Intelligent mind is everywhere and believes the
totality of knowledge.
WHAT WOULD WE DO? SEEK A PATH ?

Knowledge Seeker
 A knowledge seeker sees enormous confusion in life as
a result of endless division in the knowledge space.
 He is always in search of challenges, something new,
for creative pleasure in the now, some innovative
thought that is beyond his known boundaries.
 In absence of new knowledge, he cultivates his faith in
the old. He is spoon-fed by authorities and gradually
considers the organization as his saviors.
HE FEELS SAFE IN THE CUSTODY OF AN ORGANIZATION

Human Resource
 For him, knowledge means that he receives as
descriptions from the boxes. He remains satisfied
with whatever is given to him and he never
questions anything beyond the boundary lines.
HE BECOMES A SECOND-HAND
PERSON LEADING A SHALLOW AND
EMPTY LIFE. HE STAYS INSIDE THE
PART AND IS DENIED THE WHOLE.
He turns out to be a Human Resource

Source of knowledge: The Whole
Organization takes a part of it
