Leadership goes viral!!!!!!

Leadership has a different beginning these days and its amazing to watch emerging leaders from different areas making us surprise. Being an entrepreneur, I had been always getting new answers to leadership and let us understand why? Right from educational space to the emerging corporate corners, we see leaders creating a new benchmark and a story. A true leader often owns the most difficult phase for the team and makes it look easy as they pass through the same. We see classes being delivered on leadership, special courses and workshops to ignite the traits of leadership among every working and non-working class to lead from the front. But, I would differ to understand the exercise of being a leader which comes naturally with the circumstances we are exposed to in day to day basis.

Ability to estimate, calculate risk and following the actions without regret to meet the consequences defines the strategic form of being in the process to be a leader. Every leader has its own different story to narrate but it can only inspire. As someone rightly said, the determination to own a loss and follow your dreams brings the true essence of leadership. People often come with their critical issues and problems to a leader and someone who is approachable to define a road to the solution is a leader in making. A leader understand the pros and cons of its actions while going ahead with a positive mindset to motivate the team for a journey. We are often puppet in the hands of “copy pasted” gurus who impose one consequence to a certain specified action points. The world is slowly going through a cycle of innovations at every level and there is a “new” we see everyday in different unique achieved stories of leadership. A Leader has the art of saying “No” no matter who feels good or bad about it when it is serving a larger purpose with a positive outcome.

With the competitive market compelling  a leader to stand out from the rest, expected to meet the desired outcome as well to be followed or respected. Humility, patience and ability to accommodate mistakes leads the team for a successful outcome or a successful message. We often miss out the race to be called a Leader for the “dictated values” and peer understanding as a protocol to win over every odds and circumstances. A Leader differentiates its action from the rest by following the right approach agreeing to risks at its place convincingly. There could be a more traditional approach in learning how workshops can help in the making of a leader which could rather be more justified with the ways we deal and face the circumstances as a face. We have several ways to collaborate in learning the true values of leadership making the political and economical sustainability for every entity a reality tomorrow despite what comes as an “odd”.

“Leadership is solving problems. The day soldiers stop bringing you their problems is the day you have stopped leading them. They have either lost confidence that you can help or concluded you do not care. Either case is a failure of leadership.”-Colin Powell

 

Message to upcoming techies!

Before I raise my understanding level to meet the most talented pool of this world, I would appreciate if this write up is a healthy debate:). With new technologies and innovative disruptive technologies emerging to ping us every time for a “CHANGE”. Its time for change and we need to understand the underlying morals to handle the space. Its disappointing to find the new generation techies taking the job for granted, the attitude says something like this “I must get this, I must be getting this, and this company which delivers and that company which worries my emotions”:) Surprised and confused to identify resources these days, Yes, the BIG idea fails! How to handle this?

 “My only advice, run after projects, u will see your job satisfaction

  we make mistake going by face of company…rather than credible object we can get to work on.”

 1. Good Project- Criterias- full fledge end to end consulting area with client with a good team. This is rare due to market scenario. 2. Good Salary- Do not depends on what project you work these days, rather on the way you have managed the top bracket and your skill areas to extract more amount. I am sticking to “projects”  as recession, depression wont hamper if you are into good project rather than just tag of a company Logo. Indian resources got a poor habit of estimating their efforts more than what company has set. The point is the CTC defined by big service companies got into the minds of most of the people in Indian market and that has halted the thinking process. The resources are taking the continuing CTC as granted whether they deliver or don’t. Small companies struggle to make them learn, and still the big glasses attracts faster then learning even in early days. I do not discard the warmth and feeling of a good ambiance, but the priority initially is “LEARNING”.

We will not have per hour billing soon for lot of projects running in India. Client demands, milestone of projects vs payments and no billing formula for resources.  I hope you all are getting the practical scenario.  I am facing conferences and  I understand where we lack as a company  but the point is, we have to set our flexibility! But, change the way you think, unless you set sacrifices to your belt, no company and team will gel in for futuristic projects demand of the consumers, and their we stand with resources who understand the need. A company not just fighting for itself, but for investors/stakeholders, Employees, etc etc…and moreover we have to get a realistic model to work.

Your key edge: 1. Open to new Learning 2. Understanding multiple platforms as an analyst to help developers adapt solution based approach 3. Good knowledge on Cloud , BI etc 4. Deployment & Client Communication on technical support.

Compel companies to pay, retain and pamper you:)

A comic Entrepreneurship!

A new era of ideas and innovations flowing in the modern India and still we fighting to beg for outsourcing and kill corruption. Well, I do not want to be the second person to complain rather proceed to help all of you understand the roots of the same.

Did we ever find time to manage our intentions? Indian Govt claims to encourage entrepreneurs with some unproductive workshops which neither answers the pain area neither reaches to people who need help. It is meant for PR, Media and some pocket of bureaucratic standards who should get snapshots on the profile while they make another virtual move to entertain(motivate) us:).

Reeling to fix its own compensation, a painful middle class entrepreneur processes files from investment, looks for house to build its assets and employees places & even crawls to pay taxes for his unsold product/service with no system in place. But, we have acres of Govt land been given for offices where bunch of people sits to manage their unanswered salaries to the Govt. Am I too harsh speaking this? If Yes, let it be!

I see great investors and people coming to answer and solve Entrepreneurs problems, at the end you get some really pitiable queries from the conference speakers- Are you an Entrepreneur? Where is the innovative product? Why should I invest? You need to do this, that and just do all sorts of that to achieve this- pathetic and disgusting.

Let me ask these people around one question- What is the sustainable model considering my aim to build this? Well, I have got few answers like- this is not my area my friend:)

Life of an entrepreneur does also goes through a poor social approval system and that never helps you take the ladder at your pace & thinking sometimes.

I will come over this sometime again, and our answer being an entrepreneur should be- “My Career is not a slave of your opinion”. I am optimistic and believe this part of the world will understand the productive entrepreneurs struggling to pay rents still, and come to the hot seat for helping the Govt take initiatives.

We need to be system to bring a system, and that will start with a new day, fresh thoughts not from the present speakers but from the real passionate builders for tomorrow!

Allow me to rope in this better way, when I see your approval on this topic!:)
