A
workshop on “ABC of Success: The Menu card of life” was organized at
the IIIM auditorium. “Its only the people with push that have pull”.
Mr. Shailesh Lodha, Director Swash, proved, the famous saying holds true
by sharing some instances from his rich and valuable experience &
views, with the enthusiastic participants.
Mr. Shailesh acquainted the participants with the different aspects of
success and reaffirmed the belief that success is personal &
subjective. He emphasized that there is no set formula or procedure for
success and there however are certain qualities which when inculcated,
lead one to the road to success.
He perked the interest of the audience by introducing them to ‘OIL’, a
term coined by him, which expands to Observation, Innovation
& Learning. The ‘Trio’ can act as a lubricant in one’s
life & drive one on the path of success. Through the term ‘OIL’ he
emphasized the difference between ‘those who Manage’ & ‘those
managed’. Those managed, he said, read, reproduce & cram whereas a
manager provides ‘OIL’ to life i.e. (s)he observes, innovates & learns.
Mr. Shailesh provided interesting practical tips on solving management
problems. The workshop was devoid of ‘so called’ efficient management
theories and provided a more realistic approach to handling day-to-day
management issues.
The essential ingredients for transformation of a manager to a leader were
also discussed. Stress was laid on shifting the focus from becoming
‘manager of data’ to a ‘manager of emotions’, from ‘manager of
emotions’ to ‘emotion generator’
& from ‘manager of standards’ to being a
‘Trend-setter’.
He wound up the session by gracefully satisfying the intelligent and
enthusiastic queries of the students and corporate participants.
Mr. Lodha, with his wit & humour mesmerized the house & kept the
participants glued to their seats throughout the day-long workshop. He
enthused all those present, with the feeling that Success Is Achievable
with the right Attitude, pleasant Behaviour and smart Communication.
