Learning:
As
an individual: You must to be a dreamer, if you want to achieve something in life. You need to run that extra mile to
execute that dream. You need to be performer. You need to work in the larger
interest of your organization. A performer employee also need to be Trust
worthy. A toxic employee is not preferred. Try to be in the fourth Quadrant (I'll elaborate more in next post).
For
organization: One must not run for people with high pedigree a only thing as
mark of success. Talent is everywhere. If the person is working in your
company, s/he is marked fit for working and delivering in your organization,
and hence selected. Right talent has to be nurtured & flourished, by giving
sufficient opportunities and exposures. You may also have a ‘chandrasekaran’ in
your existing employees. Nurture her/him so that s/he can take organization to
next level.
Not
so positive:
Chitra
Ramakrishna (ex MD&CEO of NSE); was in influence of one ‘Himalayan Baba’
and was taking his advice, which culminated in providing unprecedented powers
and benefits to one Mr. Anand Subramanian; surprisingly this ex-COO does not
have any digital footprint.
Let
the investigating agencies unearth the truth behind this ‘psudo baba’ – but I
have a strong hunch if the baba was none other than Anand Subramanian himself!
He appears to be a tech geek who has wiped out all details that may potentially
link any lead towards him!
Learning:
SriKrishna says in Bhagwad Gita while preaching Arjuna (the greatest warrior of
all times) – have faith in yourself. Do believe in yourself and focus on WORK
only that is been tasked on you – do not worry on the results (fruits) of your
action!
