Gist of Your Leadership Role Over the Years
Consistently
I have spent a significant amount of time coaching teams to understand
the client’s and organizations point of view, but in recent years I find I
am spending more time mentoring individuals than I did earlier in my
career.
Strategy to Avoid Mistakes as A Leader
Its
not so much about connecting the right dots, so to say, but
understanding and prioritizing the dots in a way that yields what you are
aiming for. In the process, mistakes are inevitable but it is resilience,strength, ability that make an effective leader.
Lessons Learnt on the Way
To approach
every task with confidence, you don’t know how to do everything ahead of
you, but you must be confident you will find a way.
Achievement You Pride Yourself
Parenthood, my two children and how they are leaders.
Foresight of Yourself and Your Company
I see
CSC establishing itself as the premier global business solutions company.
While we delivery and support large technology implementations, our
focus is on business solutions that make our customers successful.
Macroeconomic Variables that You Look Out for
Debt. At all levels debt constrains our choices as we go forward.
Fostering Innovation
Encouraging rapid
failure as an ongoing process. There is tremendous pressure on
the organizations to continuously innovate as they strive to stay
globally competent, however it is only few who turn the innovation into
work place reality because they allow their employees to learn from
failure.
At CSC, we have Leading Edge Forum (LEF), a forum where bright minds across the organization interchange ideas and come
up new visions of the future. We have tools like C3 (jive based social
platform) that create diverse teams and encourage people to communicate.
It helps employee broaden their perspectives – a key requirement for
innovation. We believe that innovation does not follow a thumb rule and
does not fit into fixed templates. To this underlying fact we
consistently aim to bring in the culture of innovation which is organic
and creative act. We encourage people to break their silos and
communicate freely.
Attaining Success through Adversity
Businesses are operating in a close knit global market place, which is
extremely dynamic and competitive in nature. The playing field is broader
and harder to navigate and the stakes are much higher.Equally important
is the increasing imperativeness of organizations to being sustainable
and operating responsibly. This reality is challenging. And challenges
are the term that I prefer over adversity. But then, leading in a global
marketplace is no mean feat! Leadership is the driving force of any
organization. In the era of global village, leadership skills may
catapult the success trajectory of the organization or lack of it can be
consequential. Using the diversity to produce and attain long term goals,
strategically incorporating both organization’s vision of goals and
success of employees and be able to navigate through uncertainty and
complexity is what CSC is made up of. On this foundation,we rest our
laurels.
Desire to Change the Past
A stronger focus on my personal work/life balance, especially in terms of physical health and learning beyond technology and business.
Suggestions on Leadership
Leadership and Management are two diverse terms. “All managers perceived as leaders, they often are not” Both
are mandatory for the good health success of the organization.
