Nothing is what it seems., especially as regards the current Ukraine conflict. The mass media gives us the ‘truth’ as they are paid to or pressurised to report. We blindly believe what is dished out, endangering ourselves and risking our own prosperity, security and even survival. ‘The New Art of War’ is a series based on an in-depth analysis attempting to provide an alternative perspective to the mass hysteria that so often grips us and to help provide important and useful lessons. ‘American Hegemony’ is at the root cause of havoc in our world since the past 100 years. In this episode we provide some background to the conflict. You can interact with Guru Wonder on the following platforms.

Denying, impoverishing and destroying people and civilisations in the name of some obscure higher good is the oldest scam in the world. So it is with the Ukrainian conflict. Money goes from the taxes of people to the arms industry and their related businesses through the lawmakers in the name of saving a collapsing Ukraine. Doing everything except talk to find a solution.

If it succeeds in the conflict, the West will get a defeated Russia on a platter. If Ukraine fails it would still result in a degraded and indebted Russia which will become an easier picking sometime in the near future. Ukraine is being destroyed, its infrastructure wrecked and its people fleeing the land. The much vaunted Counteroffensive over 67 days has yielded nothing inspite of the death of over 43,000 and injured countless more trained men and the loss of 3814 pieces of major equipment. The Ukrainians have so far failed to cross even the grey zone (an area before the first of three layers of the Russian defences). Everyone loves a winner and despises a loser. The rising despair amongst the leadership and people in the West bearing the brunt of the staggering costs of supporting the Ukraine conflict is causing 'Ukraine Fatigue'. Zelensky is trapped from all sides, the cajoling American led West prodding him, the unrelenting Russian forces in front and with hardcore rightwing extremists (Neo Nazi) within his army and government threatening to kill him and his team should the Zelensky regime even consider some form of 'off ramp' (an exit solution) to the conflict. Zelensky the puppet to secure his position and ill-gotten wealth and that of his coterie has thrust Ukraine towards unnecessary destruction and death. As the prospects of Ukrainian victory dim and the Russians advance further West and South something has to give, the world will soon witness a resolution to the conflict. It will either be a peaceful one, if saner minds prevail, or we will see an escalation by the West. Escalation will most likely lead to a global conflict which will damage and consume our world so badly that the previous world wars will pale in comparison. I wonder why we call them superpowers, if all they seem to do is push the world on a path of exploitation and destruction?

Foreigners be they Persian, Turkic, Afghan or European have relied heavily on Indians themselves to fight for and administer over the majority of Indians. These Indians not only ruled over they participated actively in the plunder and pillaging of India whilst simultaneously working to ravage India's education, economy, culture and civilisation. Transcript: Invading foreigners were as compared to native Indian forces relatively always very weak in force and numbers, yet they prevailed and plundered. For example at the height of British occupation of an undivided India in 1947 (population of 400 million) Britain had only 1600 British officers in the Indian Civil Service and a mere 40,000 British soldiers to govern. This was made possible by the significant number of Indian soldiers and administrators, who served regimes irrespective of who sat on the throne. India was soldiered by, policed by, administered by, taxed by and exploited by Indians themselves on behalf of foreigners enriching and empowering both foreigners and themselves. Earlier the exploitation by this powerful lobby of Indians was blatantly open and chauvinistic. Though their grip has weakened these anti India forces are even today still entrenched within the Indian system. The exploitation and attempted destruction of India is sinister in its intent and sophisticated in its approach. This minority but highly toxic group has infiltrated deeply into India's judiciary, politics, academia, intellectual class, business and commerce, science, industry, bureaucracy, media, entertainment, civil society, NGOs and religious institutions. It appears, historians have not been able to adequately explain some important questions. * Why did this minority of Indians so eagerly serve the foreigners remains an enigma? * Was it only for the material benefits power and wealth? * Why abandon the service of Indian rulers and communities to serve foreigners with such commitment? * Why did the majority Indian population submit so easily and why were those who resisted not actively supported by the majority? It is high time we stopped blaming others and accept responsibility for our own weaknesses and blunders. Distasteful as it may often be, it is essential for all people everywhere to revisit and learn from our past, so that we may improve. Studying history written by conquerors about their conquests will never reveal the truth. Indians need to study their own history analysed from the Indian perspective. Introspect what it means to be really free in mind and spirit for freedom is not just the ability to vote once in 5 years, nor a mere slogan. What is my hope for India? India a pre-eminent benign world. Prosperous, strong, resilient, wise, powerful and fearless feared by evil forces and whose friends adore and respect her. I send greetings to you all for this Indian Independence Day.

Prevention is better than cure. Everyone should go on an annual holiday. This serves several purposes. 1. Employees and bosses both realise that no one is indispensable. 2. The organisation develops solutions to cope with the absence of that team member. 3. If there is any fraud taking place, it will most likely come to light.

Wonder is what drives our quest to seek answers and the truth. However perception is not truth. Truth acquired second hand is no truth at all, because it is a borrowed truth and tends to make us hollow yet arrogant. We have to acquire our own truth. First hand truth humbles us, because it reveals the vastness of our ignorance, and therefore fills our being with even greater wonder. This leads us to further awakening and learning. Knowledge, is learning something new everyday whilst wisdom is to unlearn something everyday. Keep on wondering, keep on wandering. Thus keep on evolving.

Paradoxically, as all that is superficial within us gets extinguished, we are born anew to achieve great things. Get a perspective

When assigning a responsibility to anyone, we have to ensure that the senior who is assigning the responsibilities to the subordinate grants authority of an appropriate level so as to enable juniors to deliver on their responsibilities. Failure to grant authority to juniors usually results in poor results Blog Post: https://www.guruwonder.in/post/without-authority-its-difficult-to-fulfil-responsibilities You can interact with Guru Wonder on the following platforms.

On the other hand it is also common to witness people who have seized or inherited authority but carry no responsibilities. When assigning a responsibility to anyone, we have to ensure that the senior who is assigning the responsibilities to the subordinate grants authority of an appropriate level so as to enable juniors to deliver on their responsibilities. Most organisations typically appoint people outlining their responsibilities without specifying the authorities being granted to meet their responsibilities. It is important to remember that - Responsibility without authority is impotence, and an impotent person cannot perform satisfactorily, if at all. On the other hand Authority without responsibility is dictatorship. A dictator is like a bull in a china shop and that cannot be good either. Both impotence and dictatorship are not desirable within a functioning organisation. So the solution is to grant adequate and appropriate authority to subordinates. Authority can be loosely defined as the power granted to a subordinate to appoint, commit, communicate, decide, deliver, spend, etc. To get best results, bosses should avoid unilaterally bestowing authority upon juniors. Authority has to be discussed and mutually agreed upon, between both the senior and the subordinate. Of course, the boss's decision should be final. If we do this, the probability of achieving success and strengthening both the organisation and team members is high. There is a caveat though. Not every responsibility and authority needs to be negotiated, as is the case where a person is simply instructed without being held accountable for results. However as we grow we have to make the shift from merely instructing to delegating and with it the need to empower juniors. Sure authority can be misused and even be abused, but that cannot be a reason to not authorise people because the vast majority of people really want to do good. Views and criticism are welcome.

Followers Transact and Leaders Transform Change is always initiated and driven by transformers but affected by transactors. Transformers possess an infectious self-confidence, energy and drive. Perpetual transformation can be chaotic and stressful but it need not be. Since ancient times we have had available science and now management tools and techniques to achieve transformation and yet provide satisfaction and enjoyment.

What differentiates them? Fundamentally, 'Followers Transact and Leaders Transform'. 'Transformers' are prime movers, the people who visualise, conceptualise and generate the intellectual, material and emotional power and energy to bring about quantum change. All others can be classified as 'Followers' (Transactors). Leadership is situational. For example, one may be a great professional at work or social situations and a disaster in guiding their own family. Sometimes they are effective at home and in social settings but not professionally. Transactors are people who just undertake tasks and commit actions, with little or no knowledge of what they do and why, functioning in a mechanical thoughtless way. Good Transactors guided by norms are essential and can be effective in running any show. Transactors sometimes follow leaders, and sometimes they follow traditions even institutionalised thousands of years ago like in a religion, society or dynasty. In essence, followers, follow what is decided by others on how and what is to be thought, spoken and action to be taken. This is the wheel of life for many. A person may be an employee and merely transact but as the head of a family or group may be a powerful and effective transformer. Family members may also be transformers. Just because a person is in a senior position in an organisation or even head of a family, does not mean he or she will transform anything, they may only be transacting. Every society and organisation needs about 5% transformers and 95% transactors. Change is always initiated and driven by transformers but affected by transactors. Transformers possess an infectious self-confidence, energy and drive. A point to note is that no one is a constant transformer or a transactor all the time. Leaders also transact but this is secondary to the transformation that they achieve. Similarly, transactors also affect some amount of transformation, but these generally tend to be minor or insignificant. If a transactor gets into a position of great responsibility even like a Prime Minister or President he or she is unlikely to achieve transformation. Then decline even collapse is likely. Such people can be identified by their endless tinkering disguising activity for meaningful action. "It is not the strongest of the species, that survive nor the most intelligent, but the one most responsive to change" ~ Charles Darwin In every organisation or relationship even with a couple or a family, someone drives transformation and others transact. Perpetual transformation can be chaotic and stressful but it need not be. Since ancient times we have had available science and now management tools and techniques to achieve transformation and yet provide satisfaction and enjoyment. A good life is one filled with transactions and times of rest interspersed with doses of transformation. It's important to ask ourselves, 'Am I appropriately transforming personally, socially and professionally?' If we are not transforming we are not living only existing.

Are males more tough or females? In terms of, physical strength and stamina, the male is typically tougher. Humans have succeeded not only because of our brawn but also our intellectual, emotional and spiritual capacity. In terms of emotional and psychological toughness, females are much superior and more sophisticated than males. Toughness is to be ruthless, about taking and implementing difficult and unpleasant but necessary decisions. The willingness to suffer in the short term to benefit in the longer term.

A house is not the same as a home. A home is a house with a soul. A house is merely a structure. It caters to the material and security needs of its occupants. Usually, the man builds the house and the woman makes the home. Together they make the family. The home provides the soul and the spirit from which society and civilisations are fashioned. Good homes produce strong people rich in character. Broken homes produce damaged spouses and broken children, eventually producing a broken society.

Leaders often ask, 'What if we train people and they leave?' I ask, "What if you do not rain them and they stay?" When we promote someone without adequate training and grooming, the results are often quite bad. The failure of many executives and managers can directly be attributed to poor management planning.

If wielded properly committees can be useful and highly effective. Why are committees necessary? Committee means entrusting matters to some persons to achieve a desired outcome. No individual can know everything, nor can devote time to think about all matters. Committees can be of several kinds. A committee can be a small group of people who examine challenges, situations and problems and recommend solutions on behalf of all members of an organisation. In many cases committees do not simply recommend, they also manage. Meaning they plan, direct, staff, deploy, coordinate and control resources to achieve certain desired goals. Committees work on the principle that many heads are better than one. Hoping that there will be less nepotism, and corruption and higher quality of decisions and actions. In my previous article, 'Committees, the most effective way to do nothing' I pointed out the problems with committees and why they tend to be dysfunctional. Take the example of the construction of three European cathedrals, which took more than 500 years to build simply because of using committees. There were simply too many people involved in decision making and hence the plans and strategy kept on changing. Cologne Cathedral took 632 years to build (1248 - 1880), St. Vitus Cathedral in Prague took 585 years (1344~1929), and Milan Cathedral took 579 Years (1386~1965). History is replete with such examples. How then to make committees effective? It is best when the committee and its members are responsible both for making recommendations for evolving solutions and also for delivering results. The challenge arises when people who have no stake in the outcomes or are far removed from the reality of the challenge make recommendations that are ineffective even regressive. Stakeholders, that is people affected by the decisions participate in the committee both in formulating and in managing. Committees are excellent for getting a particular outcome. When it appears many people were involved the public believes it must be right. In reality, it is what a few individuals game the committee proceedings. They manipulate and manage the majority of the committee (who are mostly disinterested or incompetent) to vote or act in a particular manner. This is called 'group think' where everyone believes someone else is doing the thinking and so just gives their assent to decisions without thinking. Before we know it everyone goes with the group and we have very bad or unsatisfactory outcomes. The smaller the number of people in a committee the faster it moves to decide and give effect to decisions. The greater the number of members in a committee, the slower and more sluggish the pace of deliberation, decision making and taking action. Quality also suffers. The problem with committees is that they follow a process, but are usually not accountable for outcomes. Sometimes the committee members break down into semantics and focus on behaviour rather than on desired results. As a result committee, the committee fails to deliver on outcomes. Every individual is unique. Each is full of quirks, biases, individual mannerisms and style. If we focus on obtaining desired results rather than on behaviour, desired outcomes are easier to achieve. I almost always adopt what is called a task force approach. A task force for delivering an outcome that is specific, measurable, timebound and within a budget. To give effect to a task force, a task leader is elected, chosen or assigned a task. He or she then chooses a team from within the group that agrees to support him or her in the achievement of that task. They work out the mechanism of their teamwork and each team member has smaller tasks within the overall task goal. I believe that 'What is not reviewed is not done' so progress is reviewed periodically with corrections, and modifications if any being made to remain on track to achieve the goal. Voila! The task force approach performs well and inevitably they achieve the desired outcome, often exceeding their expectations. There is also the possibility that occasionally the task force is not able to deliver the desired outcome. In that case review the task expectations, the leadership, the team members, available resources etc. and either abandon the task or make necessary changes and try again. When individuals are clear about their responsibility and are well supported, it is rare for them to fail unless the leadership is corrupt, insincere or grossly incompetent. An African proverb says, "If you want to go fast, go alone. If you want to go far, go together." Committees bring us closer and help us achieve what we want, provided we hold the committee responsible for the outcomes. This is the way to go far in the right direction.

First, we decide who has to be punished, and then we find the justification. The results of this election are due on 4th June 2024. Losers are going to start blaming others or something. Scapegoats are going to be found and figuratively speaking heads will roll. People will lose their authority, and leadership and there will be a lot of screaming and protesting before quieting down. Finding a scapegoat is a common tendency in humans. To find fault with others and blame them for all misfortune. We never blame ourselves or our actions, it is always someone else's fault. If we can punish the individual, group, religion, community or state we can be relieved and our anger and hurt assuaged. The practice of scapegoating has its origins in the Bible and with Abraham. Here is some interesting information. Blog Post: https://www.guruswonder.in/post/scapegoats-looking-to-blame-others-for-our-problems You can interact with Guru Wonder on the following platforms.

It is our mind that constantly travels forward and back in time, visiting the future and revisiting the past. To remain in the present means to focus the mind on the present. Fortunately Indian sages and then Zen Buddhism over thousands of years have taught humanity a simple but beautiful technique. That of observing one's breath. Here I share with you the simple and effective technique. Blogpost: https://www.guruwonder.in/post/being-in-the-present You can interact with Guru Wonder on the following platforms.

There is this perception that 'power corrupts'. This is simply not true. Power does not corrupt even though it seems to corrupt. Permit me to quote someone who knows something about power, A' braham Lincoln' the former president of the United States of America. It is reported that he once remarked “Nearly all men can stand adversity, but if you want to test a man's character, give him power." Power does not corrupt it simply allows people to drop the mask, the pretences that disguise who or what they truly are and what they really stand for. Power simply magnifies. Thus good people appear better and bad people appear worse. This is why corrupt people who acquire appear as if power has corrupted them whereas the fact is that it is a case of a corrupt person having acquired power. Only a great person can withstand the burden of prosperity and power. ___________ Blog Post: https://www.guruwonder.in/post/does-power-corrupt You can interact with Guru Wonder on the following platforms.

The most important natural relationship in our lives is the relationship between man and woman. To get a better understanding I observed pets, particularly cats and dogs. Observing them, I got a good understanding why most men do not understand women. It is not a fault, just a reality. You can interact with Guru Wonder on the following platforms.

Balance between 'Existing' and the 'Non-Existent' is vital. When materialism is balanced with spirituality, action balanced with reflection and meditation, we discover that we are happy and at peace with ourselves and all of existence and not even know why.
