Hi Senthil,
Sorry for this belated response. I was travelling and did not access my mail.Thanks for having accepted the suggestion that you will initiate a process of self assessment. After all this is the first step to self awareness and consequently to self improvement.
Coming to you observation about looking at negative consequences, and taking steps to avoid them, that by itself is not an issue.
As you yorself have rightly clarified, the problem is in the thought process.
I strongly recommend that you read Edward De Bono's "Lateral Thinking" to start off with. In a nut shell this book teaches you to look at any issue from six different perspectives - one best case scenario, another the worst case scenario, and the third a flight of fancy, letting your imagination run riot. The other three views guide you towards the optimum solution, the resources needed and the implementation plan.
Don't worry, it may appear to be heavy reading at the first attempt, but so for that matter is the Bhagavad Gita.
I am very glad that you are approaching your job with such a passion for learning and excellence - I wish more of our HR professionals will emulate you.
I reiterate my assurance that you can call on me for any guidance you may require. In case you are interested I shall give you our Institute address at Chennai, as well as our website.
With best regards,
Commodore
