Prof.VGK is committed to help students from age 10 onwards to develop all managerial / leadership skills in order to be great achievers later. Similarly, he wants all success loving youth to get the needed success & leadership skills to achieve their dreams. Also he is willing to sensitize all the people in the age group 10 to 60 to have an urge to achieve more. Every one must have adequate training opportunities to trim their personality. He believes that it is his professional social responsibility.
Though training is important, it is more expensive and a big team / net work is needed to train the target population – success lovers in the age group 10 to 60 years. Neither the target population nor an agency can bear this cost. Hence Prof.VGK is considering a concept of Self-training. He has done research to explore several self-training methods and convinced of about 12 self-training methods, which can help people train themselves adequately. People need a simple training to recognize self-training as a better option for their betterment.
Learning is a self-decision. Unless one wants to learn, no one can force any learning on him. Any resource person can only help learn 20% using all his skills and remaining 80% learning must come through ones own efforts and various self-training methods. Ones creativity and imagination can help learn 20% more. Interaction with core team members, colleagues & peers on concepts / issues can make learn another 20%. Attitude of experimenting new ideas & learning can give another 20% learning. To get the remaining 20% learning, one has to read relevant books, interact with experienced personnel, browsing related topics in internet etc…
Generally people want somebody to train them for their needs. It is a traditional method and the current fast moving busy world, it may not be more time and cost effective. Learning and self –development must be a daily agenda and one must take responsibility for his own success and growth. Self-development is not automatic and one has to seriously program for it. One has to take more serious efforts to achieve more and casual and convenient efforts may not give more results. It is a highly competitive world and unless one keeps sharpening his managerial/ leadership skills and strategies, he may not gain an edge over others. Hence self-training is very important.
Prof.VGK has been doing research on, as how people read self-improvement books and benefit from their reading. As he observes, people pick up a book with a fascination and read it within a few days and definitely get some new ideas and also motivation to fight their challenges. But within a month the motivation disappears and the new ideas got forgotten. Most of the people do not do careful reading and do no home work after reading and do not develop any action plan and do not follow up their plans. Simply they read books in their leisure time, one after the other and enjoy the content for some time and forget without any regret. But a careful reading of self-improvement books can definitely take one to heights.
Most of the people really do not know as how to read a self-improvement book and as how to derive more benefits from the reading. It requires some training. If people are sensitized on the importance of SELF-TRAINING , they can improve their learning more by themselves and without any external help. Self-training can help people to learn what they need. The other training options available deliver not the people want but what the provider wants.
