Run in the Stadium - Management Thought


Bangalore being a runners paradise
It was not long before I too had thrown my dice
The run up to Bangalore Marathon had many invites
One of them was in the Stadium ya you’re right
 
It’s time for a 12 hr relay in the stadium
I was there to check the Podium
Filled with energy & enthusiasm like a cougar
After all I am also a “Jayanagar Jaguar”
 
At the start I wonder what’s in here
With awe I looked at the atmosphere
As Satya & Anu’s  didn’t under estimate their power
I thought there’s something about management here
 
Next in line were rank newcomers
Running with professionals I would have been a goner
But Naren & Pooja’s run was an epitome
Giving it their best shot they reached home
 
Casting no doubts on Tanmai & Bahar
With sheer determination, they ran as if they were on war
Keeping in mind the sun was peaking in its heat
The cheering and pacing squad ensured the runners didn’t miss a beat
 
Sarah was wonderful in running the lap
For Ravi it was just adding another feather in his cap
Their run was an example of keeping the focus in spite of adversity
You’d reach your goal and shine inevitably
 
Amit showed us to be prepared for any eventuality
As a back up runner he completed the race with sincerity
Tina ran as if she was possessed
Please take a bow is what we all said
 
What do I say about the last couple
They ran the race on the double
Keeping in their mind the goal of the team
Their final finish made us gleam
 
Katy and Charul as the backup runner
Their cheering and energy was a stunner
There was a lot of effort and coordination
With tireless effort of Nandini and Darshan
 
Lest I forget to make a mention
All the team were pacing and cheering in equal participation
All this was made possible in every aspect
By Pramod, our coach whom we love and respect
 
Question you ask What’s the Management lesson about
Dedication, Commitment  and Focus  it was, no doubt
