“It would be sacrilege to say that any visit to Vienna is complete!”

Famed for being a bastion of grandiose palaces, Julian excitedly exhorted me to pay a visit to Schönbrunn without which, as he stated, “It would be sacrilege to say that any visit to Vienna is complete!” Home to the Hapsburgs – the ruling family of Austria for innumerable generations – the sprawling, verdant gardens of Schönbrunn have never ceased to hold captive the collective imagination of tourists. The UNESCO, too, has been swift in its appraisal of the gravitas this edifice harbours, declaring it an integral jewel emblazoning the World Heritage List of cultural spaces.

Bomb-blasts scare Indians...

In a series of blasts in crowded trains in Mumbai, more than 160 people were killed and about 463 were wounded. No instant accountability was taken up by any group but principal suspects remain the Muslim militants, once more associated to disputed Kashmir. Pakistan too sprang onto the scene and denied Indian allegation of implicit support to the militants. Additional precautions were taken with more security personnel brought in across India; both to thwart any more attacks and to safeguard against counter-attacks on the minority Muslims. Everybody including the US Secretary of State, Condoleezza Rice came forward with condemnation of the attacks and expressed their support to India.

RECOGNIZING YOUR MOTIVES

David McClelland, the late Harvard psychologist, identified three internal drivers that explain how we behave: Achievement (meeting or exceeding a standard of excellence), affiliation (maintaining close personal relationships) and power (influencing or having an impact on others).

For an overachiever seeking to broaden his or her range, the first step is to become aware of how motives influence leadership style. You can get a good sense of which drive is dominant in you simply by examining the activities you like to indulge in and why.


· People with high achievement drives tend to like challenging projects that allow them to accomplish something new. They also like to outperform people who represent a high standard of excellence and tend to be utilitarian in their communication – oft en brief and to the point.
· Those high in affiliation are energized by personal relationships. They make heavy use of the phone and e-mail just to stay connected.
· People mainly motivated by personalized power (those who draw strength from controlling others) tend to be driven by status and image.
· Individuals mainly driven by socialized power (those whose strength comes from empowering people) get satisfaction from helping people feel more capable. Th ey like to advise and assist, whether or not the advice is wanted or needed.
