CIOandLeader’s Post

#CSuiteConversations | When you think of the role of a typical C-Suite executive, you typically picture someone charting the company's vision, managing the board, maintaining great communication with stakeholders, addressing tough questions, and driving results relentlessly. These attributes and behaviors are indeed expected from senior executives.   However, beyond all of that, there is another layer of behaviours that often goes unseen yet arguably contributes significantly to the success of these leaders. These cumulative micro-habits help leaders generate a focus that aids them in the office, while enabling them to inspire others. These are the tales we look to capture in our C-Suite Conversations, and our latest one with Kalyan Ram Madabhushi, Former Chief Operations Officer (COO), Pulp and Fibre business, Aditya Birla Group, is a treasure trove of insights, and one you don’t want to miss.

If you're anything like me, you often like to think of life's great imponderables just as you’re drifting off to sleep every night. Like if I could only eat one cuisine for the rest of my life, what would it be? (The answer is Italian, always. Don't fight me.) 🍕 Like if I had to build a dream 3 car garage, what would it be? (A Defender, 911 GT3 Touring, and McLaren F1, if you must ask)  🏎️💨 Like if I could choose a superpower, what would it be? I don't have a good answer for this last one, but most leaders and companies don't either. Truth is, more businesses and most people are being disrupted today than at perhaps any previous point in human history. As a leader or as an organisation, if you’re not putting in the hours doing mental gymnastics and building the muscle needed to compete in a brave new world and working overtime to find and hone your superpower, your opponents will run rings around you. Kalyan Ram Madabhushi, who I sat down with for a chat some weeks back, is not hamstrung by this lack of clarity. His superpower is his purity of thought, which came through in calm, dulcet tones, silk belied by the steel gently underlying his words. After all, you don’t carve a global career with titans such as Shell and Aditya Birla without having the required strategic nous. Pinpointing your superpower is all well and good, but knowing how you’ll make the most of the responsibility that comes with that great power, and get yourself and your flock from here to there is a big part of the journey. And Kalyan Ram has that down pat. Because one of his superpowers is communicating. Succinctly, and eloquently. As for me, I’d probably go with mind control as my superpower, so that you forget that I didn’t know my superpower at the start of this post. Don’t remember that happening? Maybe my powers are starting to kick in after all...enough to convince you to give this a watch, perhaps? As always, big thanks to Sakshi for helping make this happen.

The CXO Agenda: Dealing with Insecurities! I continue my conversation with Mr. Rajarshi Moitra, Chief Commercial Officer with Bridgestone India on dealing with other cultures and personal/ professional insecurities. Raj’s insights are invaluable, especially in today's globalized world where interacting with diverse cultures is commonplace. His emphasis on unlearning ingrained cultural lessons and embracing new learning aligns perfectly with the evolving landscape of leadership. It's refreshing to hear someone in a leadership position like Raj acknowledge the existence of professional and personal insecurities. Many CXOs grapple with such fears but might not feel comfortable addressing them openly. Raj's suggestion of fostering open conversations with superiors is a step in the right direction. This not only helps in mitigating insecurities but also promotes a culture of trust and transparency within the organization. By seeking coaching support that addresses both the personal and professional dimensions of insecurities, CXOs can develop the resilience and confidence needed to effectively navigate the complexities of leadership. Thanks Rajarshi Moitra for those invaluable insights born out of your rich personal experiences!
