Important career decisions

I remember how much shocked my parents were and how much scared when i said i gonna be a sales man. But, that was the most important decision I had ever made.

Also , I decided to do a sales where we dont find many ( unlike , Insurance , Banking etc ) . Selected Dot Com as the place of mine and started travelling in it.

Handling Grievances

Simple. Sit and Talk to the employee to find out the reality , Validate the words given by him/her , take appropriate action to it but will react as fast as i can.

Caz I feel most of grievances are basically a imaginary feeling of dissatisfaction or bad experiences.

Managing personal and professional life

You need to first make sure you have planned, organized, and structured you and your team . Team should to be a kind of Ready Set Go . Learn Each employee's strength and weakness , should help you to assign task .

When all your task are perfectly assigned i think the dots are rightly connected.

Team Management

Thank god , I have very interactive team which used to talk all good and bad . I can say , i have healthy team environment - Daily Group Lunch , Weekly / Fortnight a team out etc.

Leadership qualities

Be a people man , lead from Front and lead by example by not always, sometime leaders should know when to step back , talk more to your employees , motivate them , Keep yourself highly positive and highly energetic , look back experience and walk forward
