Advice to Senior Management

Delete old/incompetent/lethargic people from the top
Shrewdness is not a part of management at work
Think beyond secondary research. See for self where other KPOs have progressed already in Bagalore/India
Eat for self and also let others eat,else,the result would be indigestion causing Flatulence
