     Once I had a great opportunity to make a presentation on "Self Directed Team and Organizational Development" to my teacher and a great mentor  Girinarayan G , one of his favorite subjects is organisation development. I always see that energy and the passion he has while talking about organization development (OD). I gained invaluable insights on how important is human resources (HR) in any company.  There is a general ignorance towards the HR department as they are non production departments in the company, yet these are the very same people who hire the talent needed for a company.   During our sessions on OD, self directed teams was one such topic, I was chosen to make a presentation, after learning about self directed teams, I remembered back in the initial days at Caerus Skillmatic when I experienced this without knowing about its benefits.      This is a story of how our small department in Caerus Skillmatic got introduced t...

  A Day Of A Ryanair Customer Service Manager I am fortunate to meet Wera, who is a customer service manager at Ryanair in Europe. ( Due to privacy reasons I will not be mentioning the place where this occurred. )   Don't know why but we became good friends in a few days. We talked about our interests, our family, the difference in our culture and so on. One fine day, the topic of our discussion was about work life and she mentioned how tough her day could get and the incidents that happen at her work. Talking to her I could see she is a leader. I asked her to explain about her work in detail so that I could learn few leadership lessons. She replied she is no leader, she just love to help people to her best as possible . The following is our conversation about her day in her job and an incident that happen. The Beginning In her own words : It was an extremely hard day for us, as I have been working for 5 year at the airport I haven't seen such bad weather, the fog covered...

This is a small project we did in class, our project was to come up with an idea for the a startup company. I would like to thank  Sandeep, Kiran, Ankur, Aparna for pitching in their contribution to build this idea as was we see now. Since there is a decline of local retail purchases in recent years. We are building a solution for local retailers. Bringing back business to the local businessmen.  LOCALLY : BUY INDIAN BUY LOCAL Locally is an app that connects all local retail stores with the near by customers. Our app connects all local retail stores to the customers 5 km around the store through our platform.  The distance depend upon the price of the product and the items. Terms and conditions applied.  The customer can search for any item listed from 100 hundreds on retail stores around 5 km  radius.  If the items are above 100 rupees, delivery free.  Or if the item is not urgent, it could be delivered for free by the end of the day.  ...

I am trying to interpret a video I saw a few day back of a guy dancing at a music festival.  I learned many things about leadership from this video and I would love to share it with you.  This was at Sasquatch music festival 2009. If you have not watched the video, I suggest you to watch the video to see how one guy started a dance party at a music festival. This video have gone pretty viral in the internet.  At the beginning of the video you saw a guy dancing alone to the music without any regards to the people around him, he is just there enjoying his moment in the sun. He is our hero, the fearless leader .   Our fearless leader is marketing his idea on "enjoying the moment" to the public. At watching this I am cringing and also admiring his bravery to dance in the public like that. To be honest those are some ridiculous moves and he must be drunk. Business first and ego second. He is teaching me not to care about what others think, focus on yourself...
