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.

 By SV Nathan

Create your presence with clarity and confidence in communication. Be aware of the identity you project. Learn to listen, seek feedback, and own your space.

Separating the act from the person makes negative feedback a learning experience. Feedback has to outline what went well and what could be improved upon.

Characteristics to look for when you hire: people who are good listeners, are logical, thoughtful, and emotionally intelligent. Change mindsets. Seek those who have worked in unstructured environments and faced tough times.

A lot of unlearning happens while training and retraining existing staff. Give confidence to team members to seek help without judgment. Realize benefits of reverse mentoring for experienced staff.

You need to break a few rules, create some, and make it easier for women to continue in the workforce. A support system, progressive minds, self-assurance from the organization, and men who champion them can further women's presence in the boardroom.

Classic tools are insufficient to give insights on the opportunity in the market. Rethink models to look at the latent aspirations of Indian consumers and lifestyle changes brought about due to increased exposure.

Some skills of successful managers are similar to the requisites for an entrepreneur. Solutions don’t have to be for the product only. Look for new ways to conduct business, reach out to customers and suppliers, and manage people through motivation and training. In an uncertain world, process-driven systems render you obsolete and unable to adapt to changes.

Dramatic transformation is taking place in a very short period in the Digital Age. Foremost is digital access to information and connectivity. Engineered materials are rewriting the future of engineering and are the second transformational change.

The third most transformational is additive manufacturing in the form of 3D printing. As a result, many industries will completely get eliminated, that’s the fourth transformation. Consumers and producers are coming together directly. Some technologies are about to go mainstream and can create opportunities and challenges for everybody.

Make your reading as diverse as possible. Today’s requirement is not to be a master. The call of the hour is a multidisciplinary approach.

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.

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.

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