Current job profile
I am a Director at B&G Consulting. B&G have two verticals a) Project Management & b) Knowledge Management. I am involved with both - recently I was part of faculty of a two day work shop conducted by CII at Bangalore. Keep doing training / mentoring for Corpoate.
Leadership qualities
A Leader I believe is one who gives space where his team can climb through when challenges are met. To me he is a member as well a leader in any TEAM.
Ensuring growth
Simple - it need to at the grass root level and if possible without ego. Nature provide enough and more lessons; reading adds to it; learning from experience is another. My current VISION on which I stabilize my mission is -"Change at least 100 young minds on creativity in their life" - I go around including my Engineering college with old Alumni and speak to students one Theme "My dream;my path"
My advice
Understand " Uncertainty" of future and change and influence people who matter to change the course of their thought processes.
Doing things right
Step 1 - Listen, understand by thinking bring the concepts to shape, find the true North and move on
Step - 2 - Anticipate by thinking HORIZONTAL to get different ideas and make conscious efforts to prioritize
Step 3 - Enjoy the journey of execution by reducing the execution deficit
Influenced by
My mother - who advised me as a school child - STAND ON YOUR OWN LEGS - I found the meaning very early!
Handling grievance
Empathy - very difficult to practice - when done it's easy - the employee may have a solution to his issue
Important career decision
To decide Material Worth over Passion - when offers and change in job profiles came in
My view on India technical development
Its about IDENTITY - Unless one understands SELF you cannot fix your platform, then only one can view the world - by using telescope, microscope and or a kaliedoscope - you need to have an over view on a large canvas - imagine short sight when you sit and drive a car - you cannot envision then.
