Leader Sinks Ship
When someone raised a question on Thomas Edison's capabilities that after doing a tremendous amount of work he is not able to bring any result. Edison responded, with a smile, "I have gotten a lot of results! I know several thousand things that won't work." Unfortunately talking about failures is taboo in our society. In reality, failure is a stepping stone to success, and it creates an opportunity to learn, grow and evolve. In Leadership, failure is very common and every other aspirant leader knows they have to pass through failures to become a successful leader. But do you think every aspirant leader has to pay a price to learn from failures? The answer is NO. We have compiled the 12 interesting failure stories with powerful lessons learned after talking to hundreds of aspirant leaders across industries. These stories are eye-opener and myth breaker that many of the practices as a leader you were doing so far are the real bottleneck to establish you as a true and great leader. It will help leaders substantially reduce their chances of sinking to the bottom.

Herbicide Residue Research in India
Herbicides constitute about 60% of the total pesticides consumed globally. In India, the use of herbicides started initially in tea gardens and picked up in the 1970s, when the high-yielding varieties of rice and wheat were introduced. Presently, 67 herbicides are registered in the country for controlling weeds in crops including cereals, pulses, oilseeds, fibre and tuber crops, and also in the non-crop situations. These chemicals are becoming increasingly popular because of their efficiency and relatively low cost compared with manual or mechanical weeding operations. The contribution of herbicide to total pesticide use, which was only 10-15% during the first decade of the 21st century, has...
