In the modern day and age, people management is not just an inherited or acquired skill, instead a mix of correct values and the right temperament based on the strong desire to give back to the community. As an HR professional with over two decades of experience, I share my journey traversing through the various challenges addressing key imperatives like gender diversity. The article is a glimpse of my career as a working mother, steadfast in my pursuit of excellence and performing with the highest level of integrity and commitment.

𝐌𝐚𝐤𝐞 𝐏𝐞𝐨𝐩𝐥𝐞 𝐅𝐞𝐞𝐥 𝐈𝐧𝐜𝐥𝐮𝐝𝐞𝐝: 𝐀 𝐊𝐞𝐲 𝐭𝐨 𝐄𝐟𝐟𝐞𝐜𝐭𝐢𝐯𝐞 𝐋𝐞𝐚𝐝𝐞𝐫𝐬𝐡𝐢𝐩 All great leaders know this truth. They invest time, effort, and often resources to ensure that inclusivity is at the heart of their strategy. Here’s how: 🔹𝐂𝐨𝐥𝐥𝐞𝐜𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐑𝐞𝐥𝐞𝐯𝐚𝐧𝐭 𝐃𝐚𝐭𝐚 𝐏𝐨𝐢𝐧𝐭𝐬: Before finalizing any strategy, gather insights from all stakeholders. This ensures everyone feels 'heard' and valued in the decision-making process. 🔹𝐈𝐧𝐜𝐥𝐮𝐬𝐢𝐯𝐞 𝐒𝐭𝐫𝐚𝐭𝐞𝐠𝐲 𝐅𝐨𝐫𝐦𝐮𝐥𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧: Strategies shouldn’t be confined to boardroom decisions made by a select few. Instead, every colleague, every eye and ear of the organization, should have representation. This diversity of input leads to more comprehensive and effective strategies. 🔹𝐒𝐞𝐧𝐬𝐞 𝐨𝐟 𝐎𝐰𝐧𝐞𝐫𝐬𝐡𝐢𝐩: When people are part of the strategizing process, they are more likely to buy into it. This inclusivity fosters a deep sense of ownership and commitment towards the strategy, driving collective effort and enthusiasm. The Results? 🔹 𝐈𝐝𝐞𝐚 𝐂𝐨𝐥𝐥𝐞𝐜𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐒𝐞𝐠𝐫𝐞𝐠𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧: A diverse pool of ideas leads to better filtration and segregation, ensuring only the best strategies move forward. 🔹 𝐑𝐞𝐯𝐢𝐬𝐢𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐌𝐢𝐬𝐬𝐢𝐨𝐧, 𝐕𝐢𝐬𝐢𝐨𝐧, 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐕𝐚𝐥𝐮𝐞𝐬: This inclusive approach often prompts a beneficial revisit and realignment of the organization's core mission, vision, and values. 🔹 𝐓𝐞𝐚𝐦 𝐁𝐮𝐢𝐥𝐝𝐢𝐧𝐠: Collaborative strategizing naturally strengthens team bonds, fostering a spirit of unity and teamwork. 🔹 𝐃𝐚𝐭𝐚 𝐂𝐨𝐥𝐥𝐞𝐜𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐒𝐭𝐫𝐚𝐭𝐞𝐠𝐲: Gathering diverse data points enriches the strategic framework, making it robust and well-rounded. 🔹𝐔𝐧𝐩𝐚𝐫𝐚𝐥𝐥𝐞𝐥𝐞𝐝 𝐈𝐧𝐜𝐥𝐮𝐬𝐢𝐯𝐢𝐭𝐲: The feeling of inclusivity boosts morale, leading to a renewed sense of answerability and loyalty towards the organization. By ensuring everyone is included, you’re not just building a strategy—you’re building a community. #mannsi, #mannsiagrawal, #communication, #communicationcoach, #trainer, #leadership, #skills, #communicationskills, #communicationexpert, #communicationtips, #keynotespeaker, #keynote

What you stand for, is how you stand out!   Jyoti Prakash Mallick from my team often asks these questions at work – What do you stand for? How do you stand out? I have been too, and he has various ways of exploring this with us, multiple times in the year 😊. The post today is about my reflections on these questions and thus the importance of building a strong value system, as a young professional. Unfortunately, we live in a world of cheat-codes for quick success. I see a lot of young, smart talent worrying about seeking and feeding themselves on levers like recognition, brand building and visibility at younger age. It is rare to find someone who is seeking real critique on their work with a mindset to develop. It is rare to find young leaders care about developing their teams over worrying to make themselves look good. We all know what is takes to build physical strength by strengthening our core – the more you work on it, the more it strengthens. Pertinent it is, that the true test of this strength becomes evident in mid-age and is crucial for maintaining stability and health as you age.  It is actually the same at work too! Developing functional depth through high quality work rooted in long-term and strong value-based professional behaviors, is the preparation that will distinguish you and provide the resilience needed at higher levels of responsibility.  It starts from you :) Just answer the first question and you reach the second automatically! The reverse, is unfortunately not true and potentially harmful ☺️. So, what do you stand for? P.S. We are striving to build the GPL HR team on these principles. It is a long journey, but I am grateful to my team who brings in the intent, candor and courage to keep at it; everyday!

Akhil Saxena (He/His/Him) Deepa A Agarwal Gurbinder Punn Bharat Gera Kiran Mazumdar Shaw Jayaram S Govindaiah Vice President - Global Real Estate The Invisible Hurdles: How Fear Shapes Our Professional Journey 🌊⚓ Hello Linkedin Fam, Another week with so much to do. I want to start, by sharing a very key STATE that 100% of us face almost daily on some level or the other. Have you ever felt a project's potential weighed down by the anchor of hesitation or watched opportunities sail by, caught in the nets of self-doubt? In the corporate seas, fear is the unseen current that can steer us off course. 🚢 As a Life Architect and creator of the Fear to Freedom Formula (FFF), I've seen firsthand how professionals grapple with fears—both minuscule 🐜 and mammoth 🐘. There's the subtle unease of speaking up in meetings 🗣, the worry of leading a project 🏗, or the larger dread of a career pivot 🔄. These fears, while aiming to shield us, often shrink our horizons of possibility. Our minds craft fears as a safety net 🕸, woven from threads of past insecurities, traumas, and deep-seated conditioning. Yet, what if we could reweave these threads into ladders to climb above our apprehensions? Transforming fear into fuel isn't about dismissing these emotions; it's about harnessing them for growth and success 🚀. Consider the executive who fears public speaking—it's not just the act that's daunting but what it signifies: exposure, vulnerability, and the risk of error. Yet, every time they speak up, they weave confidence into their professional tapestry 🧵. Or the entrepreneur whose fear of failure tempers their risk—imagine it transforming into a calculated courage that propels innovation 🌟. I invite you to discuss—what fears have you encountered in your professional journey. How have they shaped your path? 💭 For a deeper exploration on transcending these common fears and turning them into your success stories, watch the video linked in the first comment 🔗. Together, let's navigate through these choppy waters and sail towards a horizon of success that awaits us all 🌅. Comment below and let's dialogue 💬. To discover your fearless potential! Avrril The LIFE ARCHITECT 🛠

As organizations navigate through the ever-evolving landscape of business, one crucial element stands tall amidst the change: Organization Design Thinking. It's not just about structuring roles and responsibilities, but about sculpting an ecosystem where efficiency thrives and innovation flourishes. Reflecting on history, let's journey back to the construction marvels of ancient Egypt—the majestic pyramids. The intricate labor division, showcased brilliantly in the building process, exemplifies the essence of organization design. Each worker had a designated role, meticulously orchestrated to achieve monumental goals. From quarrying stones to intricate carving, every task was streamlined to perfection, akin to Galbraith's Star Theory in modern organizational design. Fast forward to the present, where the advent of Artificial Intelligence reshapes industries at an unprecedented pace. Organizations must adapt or risk falling behind. Here's where the significance of organization design becomes paramount. Just as the architects of the pyramids understood the importance of structured labor, modern businesses must grasp the essence of strategic organization design. Galbraith's Star Theory offers a compelling framework. It identifies five critical components—strategy, structure, processes, rewards, and people—interconnected like constellations, shaping the organizational universe. In the era of AI, understanding these components is not merely advantageous but essential for survival. With AI augmenting traditional roles and introducing new ones, organizations must reassess their structures to uncover where their true value lies. By embracing organization design thinking, companies can unearth efficiencies, unleash innovation, and position themselves at the forefront of their industries. In conclusion, the journey from the ancient pyramids to modern organizational structures highlights the timeless importance of thoughtful design. Let's harness the power of organization design thinking to ensure that businesses not only endure but thrive amidst the winds of change. #organizationdesign #hrconsulting #futureofwork #innovation #fractionalhr
