“I have worked under the leadership of Balaji as he was heading our Database team. Though I have not directly worked under him, but under his leadership our team went through a lot of important and well managed changes. He has a clear vision on where we sees Oracle Database Support team shaping up. Under his leadership, we started heading towards a more relationship based support model rather than the transactional based model we had in place. He is a clear thinker, an innovator and a people's person. Being in the position he is, he is still very accessible to employees in his organization. A truly inspiring leader! I wish him success in his career.”

What do you do if your team is not aligned with your vision?
Understanding where the mis-alignment comes from is key to addressing it. For ex. may be it is just a communication/change management issue. If yes, it is simpler. But what if the manager has a blindspot ? To understand, accept and address people's views/concerns is essentially the most important part of the manager's job - not just try to convince people with force that their vision is the best. This is the most difficult part of the problem.

What do you do if your ERP system upgrades and updates are causing major disruptions?
Even the most well planned and well tested products can result in an unexpected situation like this. The key is to have a SOP for a situation like this. For ex. is the disruption likely to be very short term ? If yes, do we have a process to manage our company with minimal dependence on the system ? If the duration of the disruption crosses a threshold, do we have fall back (rollback) plans in place ? Have they been tested ? This level of preparation an knowledge that the plan will work is essential before any mission critical upgrade
