Leadership Development

True leadership is what is learned by creating leadership opportunities and using these experiences as teaching points. Nowadays, leadership applies to each and everyone in the organization irrespective of their rank, title, position, or grade, and the leadership pipeline must begin with people who are not on the level to be leaders yet. This kind of development must be linked directly to the objectives and challenges faced by the organization.

Development of leadership will attract and retain top talent and help the organization to reach to defined success. It is also said that Leadership development is a process, not a series of events.

A successful leadership development program results in giving tangible benefits to the organization. A successful program will enable the company to develop better leaders for tomorrow. The star point in this kind of program is that the employees begin to identify themselves with the organization. They take courage and understand ownership of the organization’s vision, mission, values and goals which are committed to creating and maintaining a dynamic, supportive and team-oriented culture.

Organizations that respect and recognize the value of people are aware that investing in high-potential managers is the key to maintaining a competitive advantage in the marketplace.

Developing leadership in an organization is a process and not a series of events.

The organization should think and try to invest time and money to develop the leadership team within. They should also identify the leaders of tomorrow. One should also develop leaders within their current jobs. The key to success is to be patient and passionate about the feedback and support of what you do within the organization. The organization should give thrust on developing teams and not only individuals. Last but not the least the management should make the leadership development program a part of the culture in the company and not an artificial aspect.

Developing a leadership team is a challenge; which is not impossible of the management is quite open to accept the changes in and out of the organization and clearly shares the same with the people serving the organization. Being transparent is the key to success of an organization. This not only helps organization to build a team of efficient people but trustworthy team as well which in turn helps them to reach to the defined goal. In this way Leadership is said to be the most important aspect in the organization.

Restructure your Corporate Model

This is a common scenario with the corporate houses where the organizational structures are re-aligned for smoother operations in an organization. There are many compromises the Company has to do as per the requirements of the NEW management. One of the challenges faced by them would be studying the work graph of the employees and make them adjust in the new environment and accept the changes. It is said that changes are inevitable but changes should be accepted with open hands by the employees. The companies should come out of the shell of the BIG CORPORATE and should study their own SWOT and act on; the action and the analysis areas may be inside or outside their pre-determined shell. There can be lot many reasons for restructuring…be it less performance, all talks- no work, only work---no talks, no clear goal, no direction, no decision….and many more…everyone needs a change and a better change. With the advent of restructuring in the company the employee would be little skeptical as...

Eclipse

Two weeks back I watched ‘Eclipse’ the sequel of ‘Twilight’ and ‘New Moon’; respectively. The movie is based on the Twilight saga written by Stephenie Meyer. As always the story revolves around the three protagonists of the movie; Edward, Bella and Jacob; where the author lets Jacob - the dashing werewolf 'eclipse' Edward. The competition between the two Edward and Jacob is very much prevalent in the movie; as the story moves on the competition between two of them takes a harder road ever after. The love triangle forecast that was clearly seen between Edward, Bella and Jacob in New Moon executes in Eclipse. Jacob; keeping every stone un-turned confesses his love for Bella. He states he is warm and alive, unlike Edward which makes him a better match for Bella. Bella is however desperate to take her relationship with Edward to next level while Edward disapproves of Bella jeopardizing her life and family for him. To add to the dilemmas of the trio is vampire Victoria who comes ba...

दोस्त (Dost/ Friend)

कल रात को पीपल के पेड़ के नीचे बैठे, बिन मौसम की हवाओं से उड़ते पत्तो की आवाज़ों में जो खनक सुनी   वो आज तक हमने सिर्फ तुम्हारी ही आवाज़ में सुनी। जैसे तुम्हारे दिल में दबे घाव तुम्हारे चेहरे की हसी से छुप जाते है।   वैसे ही वो पेड़ अपने दुःख अपनी बड़ी फैली शाखाओं में दबाये खड़ा रहा।   जहा उसकी भुजाओं में कितने ही लोगों की बातें और आँखों की नमी दबी होगी,  वैसे ही जैसे तुम्हारी आँखों में वो नमी देखी पर होंठो पे हर दम एक बड़ी सी मुस्कान। जितनी बड़ी मुस्कान उससे कई बड़ा दिल जो हर गम को पी जाये और  किसी को भी देख के ये न लगे की तुम अभी कुछ देर पहले ही अकेले में अपने आंसू पोंछ के आये हो। तुम कहो या न कहो पर तुम्हे एक नज़र देख कर हम  ये समझ गए की तुम्हारे दिल और दिमाग में क्या तूफ़ान चल रहा है। ये तूफ़ान ऐसा जो ऊपर से तो शांत है पर अंदर गहरायी में  अपने पूरे उबाल पर है जो कभी भी जवालामुखी की तरह फट सकता है।   पर तुम अपने इस रूप से खुश नहीं हो  और अंदर ही अंदर खुद से जूझते जा रहे हो। तुम्हारी शांत आँखों के आईने मे खुद को देख कर  ये सोचते हो की मैं...
