I had, at a point in time, decided not to write on the corporate world. But if people expect me to set stories in a work environment, then why go away from it?

I have to be tough in my work environment and tough in the world.

The corporate world has the resources to improve the world. It's where people live and work.

Generally, people who crib about corporate politics are, more often than not, those who've played the game but lost it.

People are everything in education, just as in the corporate world.

While a lot of management development books try to teach you a lesson or give you a scenario of what corporate culture and work practices are about, they're theoretical and written in a sermonizing way. Most people don't get past the first chapter, and they just look nice on the bookshelf.
