A Bit of Introspection!!
Leadership
to me means exploring one self and finding
those gaps which impede society from growing, and building the bridges which
will fill those gaps.
Leadership is the chance to do Self Introspection and Self reflection,
redefine all needs, gather forces,
and respond to those needs, constantly and beyond expectation.
How I perceive this? What is leadership to me!!
Analyzing the situation, taking
corrective action, and moving on to the next challenge.
I am a good team player and even though I have been this way since
childhood, I have recently discovered how important an element this is. It is
important to adapt to the other members of the team in business/official
scenarios too for achieving good results.
I staunchly believe in committing myself entirely to whatever
activity I take up. I also believe that when a person is handling multiple
activities he can show his commitment by planning out his activities well. My
systematic approach to all the activities I undertake has enabled me to finish
my tasks promptly to the satisfaction of my superiors. This has helped me gain
the trust of the individuals involved at all levels.
Seeking responsibility and taking responsibility for my actions:
Searching for ways to guide my
organization to new heights. And when things go wrong, I should sooner or
later, not blame others.
Morale can be defined as the total satisfaction derived by an individual
from his job, his work-group, his superior, the organization he works for and
the environment. It generally relates to the feeling of individual’s comfort,
happiness and satisfaction.
Nourshing the Team and having Team objectives before individual AspiRaTions
In my Tenure are
Cognizant , I was the Single point of Contact for Data migration Applications
and where I had an opportunity to assign
work and mentor 5 Associate .
My Focus is not only
in getting the work done but also in making usre that they are learning
something at the end of the day.
By constantly encouraging ourselves and by putting in
additional efforts, we were able to achieve the target successfully on time.
The ecstasy that we relished at the end was exhilarating as we realized the
power of team spirit and hard work.
Participative Management :
The concept is applied by the managers who understand the importance to human intellect and seek a strong relationship with their employees. They understand that the employees are the facilitators who deal directly with the customers and satisfy their needs.
To beat the competition in market and to stay ahead of the competition, this form of management has been adopted by many organizations.
They welcome the innovative ideas, concepts and thoughts from the employees and involve them in decision making process. Participative Management can also be termed as ‘Industrial Democracy’, ‘Co-determination’, ‘Employee Involvement’ as well as ‘Participative Decision Making’.
Inspiring Qualities of effective leadership which I try to aspire
This has been the single most reliable predictor of follower's satisfactions in my team.
Adapting to the Change is crucial
I consider myself to be more of an introvert and restrict myself to people I am more comfortable with. In my first year of MBA I was a part of this youth movement @ NITIE, MAHA MANDI
Taking responsibilities for MahaMandi 2011 and coming out of the clutches and trying to market products , interact , get insights in a positive change and for leader it is very much required. Doing the ground work and understanding the ground rules..
Lead By example
For me, Being a leader means the one who leads by example. Leading from the front and leading by example is what sets a leader apart from his followers, which is why leaders need to be self-disciplined, transparent and objective.
It is the
leader's responsibility to raise aspirations, create hopes, deliver
performance, drive transformation and lead from the front
