• Looking back… at the Other Side

  

  In September 2023, I had posted my first article on LinkedIn that marked the beginning of the series “The Other Side by Aparna”. 11 months later, I am posting my 50th article – a fitting milestone for taking a look back at how it all started and an opportunity to share some analytics. On a…

• And Just Like That… I was on the Other Side

  

  When I was pursuing my M.Sc. in Pune University, I had once nicked my left forearm. The cut was so small that I disregarded it, not realizing that over the days that followed, it had festered into a pus-filled mess that made my entire arm swell like a loaf. I kept ignoring it in spite…

• Speaking up! … has Another Side

  

  Whenever there is a mishap or accident on the road, have you noticed that no matter whose fault it is, the driver of the bigger vehicle always gets beaten up? If a pedestrian is crossing the road even when there is heavy influx of traffic, without paying any heed to passing vehicles, if a person…

• Service Providers… and their Other Side

  

  The experience that I have garnered over the last 10 months as an Independent Consultant for Pharma Global Capability Centres (GCCs) & Service Providers has not only given me a lot of insights into the thought process that goes behind establishing GCCs in India but also the other side of Service Providers which, like the…

• The Other Side of Perspective

  

  “The real voyage of discovery consists not in seeking new landscapes but in having new eyes.” – Marcel Proust. A few years ago, I visited my school in Mumbai where I spent a major part of my formative years as a child. In my mind, my school was always this imposing gargantuan structure with massive…

• The Other Side of a Popular Interview Question

  

  Have you ever been asked in an interview, “how would your colleagues or co-workers describe you”? And was your answer honest or just a biased assumption that everyone around you loves everything about you? Watch this video for my opinion.

• 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 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…
