Effective
leadership is inspiring people to commit to personal development and
growth aligned with goals of the organization. The key ingredients are:

·        Astute personal and business vision

·        Unmatched success, credibility and experience in the relevant field of business (this does not mean that they have not failed, it means they have demonstrated how to recover)

·        Being a good listener

·        Respect professionals for what they are and not have preconceived notions about them

I am motivated by our customer’s success.

I
go by ensuring what works best for the enterprise and I believe this
works best for the employees also. My view is that each person brings
with him or her certain expertise, that is why they are hired in the
first place, and professionals should be allowed to function in
their natural style to the benefit of the enterprise. Having said that, they should be provided with purpose, direction and autonomy which is where leadership step in.

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.
