Working in an ever changing and evolving environment definitely gets me going. It definitely works-up my skills to adapt to and adopt newer business environments at all times. Keeps me going! It provides me opportunities to learn via mistakes and otherwise.
While changes are important and part of our work-life, it is also important they are directed based on a strategy. Hence a change for the sake of change is not good but should be driven by a focused strategy. Of course, there could be course corrections on the way.

Evolution of Leadership StyleI have been fortunate to work with talented managers and leaders in my career. Starting from my first job, I have worked for some of the most professionally run organizations.

The learning in those initial years was very important as I could observe and learn from the best. My leaders were ready to take-on business challenges and take us along with them in that journey. Some of my leaders were very passionate about people. They would go to extraordinary lengths to help and work with team members. They demonstrated the value of working with your own team and sharing the responsibility to be successful. They were great motivators of people with the sheer ability to connect with team members.

Choosing the Right PeopleI am great believer that attitude is a very important factor while spotting talent. We can deploy training courses to enhance the technical skills if the candidate has the aptitude.

As a leader, it is important to grow and hire those leaders in the organization who share your passion for talent and right attitude. We, as a team have always looked at getting the right person in the organization or spot those talents within the organization. If we get the right leader, his or her talent and capabilities would inspire many more people. And hence in a growth organization, those early investments in spotting the right talent at the leadership level are very important for sustained growth.

Motivating TroopsI like to connect with employees. Talking to them, understanding their views and ideas are a great learning experience for me. They are intelligent and smart, always full of ideas and passion. Hence channeling those ideas and passion to achieve business objectives is very crucial.

I definitely work with employees without borders and hierarchies. It is very important that they feel free to talk to any leader in the organization, seek, and feel an open environment. Hence I have always endeavored to create such environment at the work place.
