Lockheed Martin ups the game by appointing Indian CEO

-
Lockheed Martin is in the process of wooing the Indian government to buy the F16 Block 70 jets for the IAF. India has a similar offer from Swedish company SAAB.

The pretence identity affects you internally and you identify with your work role. All this goes very well until you leave your present job. Then suddenly you find that you are no longer such n such and you feel like a nobody. But suppose you do an activity like gardening and identify yourself as a gardener then no matter if one day you are the Managing Director or a peon, you will feel no different. In an interview the award winning novelist Amitav Ghosh, told the interviewer that he grows chillies in his Goa farm and thinks of himself as a farmer. It is always a good idea to keep yourself in a zone where nothing can touch your sanity. If you build an identity that is different from the work you do to earn a living, then you still be that identity once you leave work. Sometimes you can keep your ...
