I am of the opinion that every aspect of life is not very different from the other and what one learns from one can be equally applied on the other. Of course, we cannot apply it directly but we have to get the 'idea' out of the 'form' and apply the 'idea'. Applying the 'form' in one onto another will be ludicrous. I would say that 'sports' is the best place to learn/understand a lot of lessons. Being from India, where cricket is the most popular sport (atleast on TV), it is natural that discussions about cricket can be more easily understood by most Indians, than reading tomes of management theories and case studies. I have found Ian Chappell to give a sensible and new perspective on many occasions. Let me give my pick of good chats/discussions.
