It’s what a leader does today that will make a great difference in their future. W hether you’re coaching a basketball team, managing a start-up or moving up the ranks of a Fortune 500 company, successful habits are the key to great leadership. Here are the 10 habits that I encourage all my clients to practice every day until they become daily discipline. Promoting your vision. Keep a clear vision of where your organization is going in front of your people on a daily basis. When you do, they’re not only more motivated but also more effective since their work stays connected to your shared strategic goals. Managing priorities. The better you can prioritize the things you have to do, the better you can focus your efforts on the things that matter most. Without clear priorities, you’ll end up spending significant time and energy

CREATING POWER BRANDS WITHOUT ADVERTISING Background : There is a myth especially among marketing managers that size and scale is only possible with mass advertising and starting small gives one a slow and directionless start in a jungle of consumer products. I herewith present a case where such myths have been busted and offer a handful of cases and some strategy to make things happen for smaller players. Do   n o t be afraid to eschew what’s expected in the marketing world, and take the road less fearlessly flown to create a truly one-of-a-kind customer experience. Strategic Options : With the onset of the digital age, the world has become flat and hierarchies across organizations is increasingly ceasing to exist. Various tools and techniques can be attempted by start ups and small players.

Last November, I was invited by  The London Tea History Association  to the unveiling of their first  commemorative plaque on Commodity Quay, St. Katherine Docks.  to mark an important location in the history of the London tea trade.  The London Tea History Association was formed in 2014 with the purpose of marking important locations of the London tea trade  before they should disappear in the rapidly changing City landscape. The St. Katherine Dock warehouses  were completed in 1826, providing storage for many of the luxury commodities flooding into London such as tea, sugar, spices etc. Imported by the East India Company, the China teas were offloaded further downstream at the East India Docks and then transported in wagons along the newly built Commercial Road to bonded near East India House, on the site of the present  Lloyd’s building .  The tea was then sold in twice yearly auctions. Once purchased by London wholesalers and dealers, tea and other precious commodities would ha

A tea company here has taken up the initiative to serve tea in bell metal bowls ( baan bati ) to popularise the age-old customs and rituals of drinking tea. Golaghat-based Arin Tea Private Limited will organise the tea-drinking session on Thursday afternoon at its factory in Tetelitol on the outskirts here. Nearly 200 guests are likely to attend the event.  Rakhi Saikia, director of Arin Tea Pvt Ltd, said, "Bell metal utensils are traditionally used in Assamese households. Tea is also served to xatradhikars and bhakats in bell metal bowls, which is a unique custom," she said, adding that this tradition needs to be continued. "We are very hopeful that this small endeavour will leave an impact." The guests will be served sundry varieties, including yellow tea, green tea, white tea and masala CTC tea. A tea preparation and serving competition will be held, followed by an exhibition and sale of traditional Assamese dresses. P

95% of tea produced in Sri Lanka is Orthodox Black tea made by machine, but there is a growing number of artisan specialty tea producers in the country. If this artisan production is met with overseas demand, it’s a sector of the Sri Lankan Tea industry that is sure to grow. In this article, I’ll share with you my experiences sampling a selection of teas from Lumbini Tea Valley and Glenwood Reserve. Lumbini Tea Valley Chaminda Jayawardana, longtime attendee and exhibitor at the World Tea Expo that takes place in the United States each year produces a number of artisan specialty teas under the brand name Dalu which is part of his  Lumbini Tea Valley  company. The teas are grown in Lumbini Valley which borders the Shinharaja rainforest in Southern Sri Lanka. The Dalu collection includes a series of “hand spun” teas, mostly black, that are meticulously hand-rolled into beautiful shapes as well as some of the more typical artisan Sri Lankan teas– Silver Tips and Golden Tips.

One particular drink in this category saw greater growth than the soft drink market, and that’s ready-to-drink Tea, which grew in popularity by 3.1%, as opposed to the soft drink category which shrunk by -0.8%. Granted, “value-added water” grew by over 12%, but more on that in a minute…  https://teaperspective.com/tea-more-popular-than-soda/

If you’re a tea connoisseur, proper tea storage will be very close to your heart, but it’s something that more casual drinkings can take advantage of, too. Similarly to coffee , the quality, flavor and shelf life of tea can vary enormously. With less expensive teas, it’s possible they haven’t necessarily been stored perfectly before making their way to your kitchen, but with higher-quality teas, you can keep them tasting great for a lot longer with some really simple care techniques. https://teaperspective.com/tea-storage-to-keep-tea-fresh/
