Do not just talk! Do it and then talk!

I, everyday meet and see so many people around me who just talk so much about what they want to do, but they either don't take the required serious efforts to do it or they just waste ours and theirs time in just idle talks....

I have seen so many managers and researchers who love just talking about what they want to do like a new product or a new project but instead of taking real initiatives they somehow think that it will be done by their juniors or subordinates. They tell that do it or you are in trouble or your life is in trouble or its a matter of life and death for you all sorts of foolish phrases they use haha! On the other hand when the poor junior fellow tries to do something about it. Even a single mistake in the try is treated as a huge blunder or the guy has done some scam of trillions of dollars :)

So I would like to advise all the wannabe managers/researchers/team leaders to lead the front and indulge creatively in the development process along with others in the team, rather than sitting and discussing, wasting time in meetings over the same topics/problems for months. Doing and then discussing helps a lot more than to just talk and do meetings about doing something i.e. nothing.

Take the charge, do, help and motivate; these things can only help in any project rather than finding mistakes in others, wasting time in meetings and just pressurizing others to do the work, which you were entitled to do! Team spirit and mutual respect only has helped great people to do great things a single man can do nothing alone! If anybody has doubt on me I would advise him/her to go and read about Bill Gates, Paul Allen and Steve Ballmer, read about Steve Jobs and Steve Wozniak, read about Sergey Brin and Larry Page, Warren Buffet and Charles Munger, Narayan Murthy and Nandan Nilekani, there are lots of other great men too. So please be cooperative, build team morale and, then see how the wonders happen !!!
