• The Other Side of Leadership

  

  When I got into a leadership role for the first time way back in May 2004, I was a wannabe tigress. Reality quickly turned me into a scaredy cat. Circumstances made me a conniving fox. Ambition had me soaring like a fierce falcon. For the ones who put their trust in me, I was a…

• The Other Side of Goal Setting

  

  The other side of setting goals is something to consider seriously – I have seen people (including myself) getting complacent when they have achieved their objectives. We feel a sense of achievement, we feel safe – even when the target is short of 100%. Which means our shortcomings, limitations, errors, are all tolerated. And we…

• The Other Side of Inclusivity

  

  What is inclusivity? It is ensuring that you provide equal opportunities to everyone regardless of their race, gender or physical disabilities, treating them fairly and not marginalizing the minority communities. Nowadays you see a lot of organizations harping about their culture of inclusivity. Many a time, this culture is reduced to a statistic where leaders…

• The Other Side of Ethical Dilemmas

  

  In my opinion, there are no such things as “ethical dilemmas” because ethical behavior does not present us with just two choices – either this or that. Being ethical is not that simple – it’s an intertwined mesh of options presented to us with the decisions that we take not falling into the conventional brackets…

• The Other Side of a 70-hour Work Week

  

  Sometime during the early 2000s when I had just embarked on my career journey with the International Service Sector, I was volunteering for a music concert in Bengaluru – an event that was being sponsored by some of the most prestigious MNCs of those times. My work mainly involved distributing pamphlets during the week leading…

• The Other Side of a Toxic Work Culture

  

  I grew up on a staple diet of tales from the Panchatantra and reading Aesop’s fables. In addition to this, we were taught Moral Science in school – a subject that was taken very seriously back then. It is therefore ironic when young children who are told that honesty is the best policy are taught…

• The Other Side of OCDs

  

  I suffer from a multitude of obsessive-compulsive disorders (OCDs). Of late, however, I am wondering whether “suffering” is the right word to use since there is another side to it. And of late, I have started seeing the other – the good – side of OCDs and have learned how to use it to my…

• The Other Side of Dreaming Big

  

  The other side of dreaming big is that the world is just not ready for your ideas. And I am not saying that in a vain sort of Einsteinian or Newtonian kind of way but it’s a fact. Imagine if the smartphone had been invented in the 1970s, it would have been of no use…

• The Other Side of Global Capability Centres

  

  Over the years, the international service sector has seen progressive growth. Starting with the outsourcing of transactional backend work and steadily evolving to handle activities of increasing complexity through BPOs, KPOs through Service Integrators / Providers, and GCCs or Global Capability Centres running their own captive centres, India has become a hub of choice considering…
