Sometimes it is important to set aside old habits and egos and be adaptable to learning from fresh talent who can offer a fresh, objective perspective on things and foster collaborative growth.

A partnership will be successful only when it is founded on complete trust and there is absolute clarity on roles. These can be achieved with open and transparent communication that helps leverage the strengths of both parties.

Use multiple sources of information to make an unbiased assessment about talent and create a development plan based on their core and strengths to nurture them into future leaders.

Some skills are not taught in business schools. It is sometimes important to trust your gut, always communicate clearly and collaborate and always be open to learning in order to be an effective leader.

By Harsha Bhogle on TV appearance
For better presence in TV interviews or presentation, come to the point straight away, do not overload message with too much information, don't speak too fast, pause for effect and to allow comprehension, summarize to drive home message.

Allow the interviewer to finish before you start speaking in an interview, remain calm, firm, and dignified in face of provocation.

Content is of paramount importance and everything else is designed to make it more effective. Work on projecting and modulating your voice for power and emphasis.

Panel discussions require prior preparation and timing to enter the conversation. Be civil, leave summarizing to the anchor, do not outshout others, and assume you are on camera at all times.

Notes on Management 010222

 By VR Ferose

Innovations happen when different kinds of people come together and do fundamentally different things. We can get inspired by social entrepreneurs who are at the forefront of innovation and they do so under extreme conditions for a cause.

Surround yourself with people who are better than you in at least one aspect, create a team, not a coterie. A misfit in a certain role could be a perfect fit in a different role.

The best innovations always happen under constraints of resources, time, and money. Challenge people to find radically different solutions and speed up processes.

Sometimes the best decision you can make is to not make one, wait to get more clarity before deciding. Good leaders can look at data and analyze it in novel ways. The role of great advisors is vital.

Look at failure as feedback. If you want to improve, you will have to do things differently and also do different things. The ability to take risks without excessive worry about failures is important. Start-ups don’t always do well but people who do start-ups always do well.

The best learnings come from looking at completely different and unconventional sources. So keep challenging the traditional way of viewing things. The most innovative companies are going to be those which have people who are good at different things.

The future workplace will have more managers on contract, and employees will be able to decide what they work on and who they work for. People will play a key role in running organizations, so it would be a more top-down structure.

Sometimes you need to show the change, rather than tell it. This will get the emotional brain of the decision-maker to act.

Find out how to make small tweaks to the environment to facilitate change. Also, disallow bad behavior and drive the desirable one.

BY Mukul Deoras
Delegation and empowerment lead to trust. Transparency in relationships and freedom of expression without fear of reprisal are the outcomes. Humility encourages and generates trust.

Trust enables businesses to build strong relationships with stakeholders. Empathy, understanding, and giving value for money are key to building trust.
To get into somebody else's shoes, we have to first take off our own shoes.

A simple vision statement, shared with all in the organization, repeated often, and aligned with performance indicators creates the most impact. A leader needs to check if this mission statement is simple enough.

Today a width of experience is more important than depth of experience. The present generation likes to collect different experiences to create a whole new world. Gen Y is like butterfly, previous generations are like bee.

Instability takes you out of your comfort zones and fuels change. Your ability to unlearn old patterns and learn new things are vital.

To stay on top of the game, do these more often: 1. Keep challenging yourself, 2. Constantly renew yourself, 3. Keep someone in the team who views things from a different perspective, 4. Never think defensively, push the boundaries instead, 5. Be consistent.

Intuitive innovations work, if it is not simple enough, it is bound to fail. It also has to be economically lucrative.
