Welcome to where the mind is fed (mental nutrition - in - the - brewing)

Hi guys! Welcome to anyone from anywhere reading this space!

For our very 1st entry, let's have a very brief description.
This was set up because i needed a place where i could share (plus.. ahem.. the occasional rants...) any information and my thoughts on Talents / HR / Leadership related topics.

A little haven where all like minded people gather and share (rant) about their work, their thoughts, experiences etc etc etc... (you get the drift?)


So... 


Why the name Thinkers, Builders, Producers, Improvers - TBPI?


Well, I was reading a piece (see original article here) which got me thinking; many of us in the working world passes through these 4 phases in our careers at one point or the other.



According to Lou Adler -The Original Headhunter and Author for: Hire With Your Head and The Essential Guide for Hiring and Getting Hired:


Thinkers: these people are the visionaries, strategists, intellects, and creators of the world, and every big idea starts with them.

Builders: these people take an idea from scratch and convert it into something tangible. This could be creating a new business, designing a complex new product, closing a big deal, or developing a new process

Producers: these people execute or maintain a repeatable process. This can range from simple things like working on an inbound help desk and handling some transactional process like basic sales, to more complex, like auditing the performance of a big system, writing code, or producing the monthly financial reports.

Improvers: these people upgrade, change or make a repeatable process better. 


I don't know how true it sounds to most of you but personally, i have had the fortune to have gone through ( and yes, i'm still growing and going through ) all these 4 stages, especially right now at my current company.

To keep things short and sweet, hope this blog would serve as a informational (my two cents worth of thoughts actually) reading list; for the young millennials and Generation Ys, or even if you are a seasoned, experienced member of the global workforce. 

Topics (and yes, includes my random thoughts and yes.. occasional rants) would evolve around building readers and myself into better of each of the 4 types of persons - TBPI.

Comments and constructive criticism are greatly appreciated; as definitely I would love to learn and grow together with you!

Enjoy reading!

Keep Learning, Keep Growing,
Jason
