My strongest skill
Understand company and products do the swot analysis with respect to product and marketing strength and weakness if any. Sytematically take up the issues one after one in organised way. Equip people to perform better in the market and make a strong presence,offcource corporate support needed to promote product creat brand awareness. Most organisations ignore listening to grieviences of clients and solve the problem where as I give top priority of understanding clients nshall make habit of responding to clients at any time irrespective of working hours. Uunless greivences not solved we cannot improve performance.. design strategies for improvign dealer performance and also motivate and design incentive plan for best performanign executives. shall build a strong team interacting and nderstandign with each individual . Focus mainly on poor performers and support them and motivate executives for better formances some time visiting markets along with executives.
More about myself
Most organisation do not understand the customers even if they understand also they try to influence the organisation priorities on top of the agenda. They dont mind loosing time and money in delaying to attend to problems which need little financial burden but it is profitable on long run which most of th eorganisation do not understand. Even management some time try to avoid suggestion from managers just becos they give no importance in resolving the issue which shall end up in losses at later stage. They do not try to apply professional approach/reasoning just try to apply same old traditional policies with authoritative commands.
Important lesson learned
Ther is no end to learning process every day we learn there is lot of scope to improve our performance from good to better and better to best. Im always open and learn lot of lessons from management and my subordinates and people in socity.The bottom line is if you do not obey or respect to the wrong decession of management or owners then our existences some time becomes difficult. but i never bothered nor compromised on any issues which i felt is not in the interest of the growth of the organisation i shall fight it out and see the issues are understood by the management. Some times they do act as if they dont like the views but later on realise their mistakes and act on my directions and see the success it makes me feel happy within.
Couple of years from now
Having worked for 27 years plus now I am one of the renowned person in the industry prefer sharing my work experiences and give my best contribution to organisation and see they reach on top, always try and give best to organisation to ensure success in every front and reach top of the ladder. Under current situation there are many new organisation mushrooming in making the market more competitive, under this situation i would prefer proving on top of the ladder and prove myself Best performer in the industry applying unique techniques to prove my expertise.

Qualities needed to become a successful leader
A Leader has to bring the team together in achieving desired result for the organisation. he should ensure each individual memebr of the team should contribute best to their capacities. and develop friendly relation within and loyal to the management and grow together. The leader should inculcate the culture of single point programme "they are working for succes of the company nothing else in their mind". he should prove collective effort of every individual has a role contributing success irrespective individual position.
succesful leader is oen who takes the team along in reaching the goals of management.
My role model

Thoughts on Education system of our country
Our education sysytem is very good as compared to many european and developed countries. I feel education has to be within the reach of common man since most of the cources in science or arts now are becoming richmans studies. Ordinary people cant afford to pay heavy fees. I feel there is a need to help people who really need financial support tho they have knowledge. There is a need to bring education sysytem one can use in every day life let there be high quality of technical education for people who cant affordthose to be supported by some NGOs coming forward in helping the poor.
Education need to be affordable to all income groups and all areas of studies special emphasis to be given for education which is practically possible instead of givign hypothetical study.
Initiative to develop a country
ensure every citizen is educated and can afford to do what is useful in day to day life instead of lookign for high tech product and high tech quality of education.
professional should dedicate certain specific time in giving and sharing the experience also give training,should creat awareness ofthings which a common man is not in a position to reach nor affordable
should look for developing mass production reducing the cost of production and make th eproduct cheaper.
