Be lead

Trust that you are keeping well amidst the growing case loads from CoVid and MonkeyPox. Please exercise extreme caution while heading out of your house and socialise. Kindly follow all safety protocols in public places for the wellness of your family, yourself and also other public.

Whilst we were young and in school, we always had class leaders/monitors who took the responsibility of maintaining order whilst the teacher was away due to personal or official reasons. Now, was it easy to be a class leader/monitor?

Sir Nearly Headless Nick

Trust that you are doing well, and staying healthy along with your families/friends. As the governments across the world ease restrictions that were brought in two years ago for containing the spread of CoVid, the world is not yet free of the infection. As we move towards the supposed fourth wave, do continue to follow safety protocols whenever possible, and maintain own discretion for masks/social distancing/hand hygiene.

In case you have read the Harry Potter series, or followed the film series, you might have seen a peculiar character called Sir Nearly Headless Nick who appears at most inappropriate times/places in the film (the entry at a dinner table when the ghost awkwardly “almost” removes the head to explain why he is named so). Last time, we saw the analogy about the headless chicken and arrived at how a vector approach helps aligning one towards one’s goals, and review their actual position/flight path with respect to the targeted/expected position. Today, we stick the emphasis further on staying farther away from the headless chicken in order to stay relevant, and make others stay relevant.

Is the flat, no-hierarchy structure good for an organisation?

Up-Rising Others

Trust that as you read this article, you and your loved ones are in good health, and enjoying life amidst the new normal. A lot is going on in India, with Dussehra just concluding and frantic head wind into the grandest festival across India, Deepavali just a weekend away. With last year’s celebrations damped due to CoVid, & already with 70% of nation vaccinated at least once, & 30%+ fully vaccinated, people are more confident in their social engagement activities. However, it is not yet time to let down our guard. Do continue to practice all safety protocols, along with personal judgement over participation in huge gatherings.

In the modern-day working environment, several periodic events occur in each of our lives. Starting with team meetings, Town hall meetings, Launch events, leadership forums/conferences, technical conferences, internal communication meetings, etc. Although each of these involve several stakeholders that participate physically (virtually of late), simultaneously and contribute to the magnitude of success for the event itself, one such periodic event involves only two people physically present in the discussion.

Any guesses on what I am trying to narrow down to?

Thevar Magan to Nallavanukku Nallavan, Francis Ford Coppola’s Godfather to George Lucas’ Star Wars – Leadership and Succession Planning

As you start reading through our article, we trust that you are staying healthy along with your loved ones. The only way to negate the impact of the Corona virus is by vaccination. Do get yourselves vaccinated & advocate vaccination for others.

The title of this article was initially positioned between two Tamizh films that make for great lessons on Leadership, servant leadership, getting your hands dirty being a leader, Succession planning, & many more leadership principles/traits. Yes, they might have some flaws & hints of heroism infused in them, but the message always lies in the eyes/ears/hands of the beholder. As I started to think more on the concept, there were several instances across different films in various languages that made a compelling reason to think that feature films are an excellent way to reflect on leadership principles & how to make use of them. I have quoted four films that come to my mind at the first instance when I started to write on this topic, & stuck with it.

Procreate Smart Trust

Hello All,

Trust you are all staying healthy & safe. Please get vaccinated as soon as possible, as this is the only way to reduce the chances of catching this deadly disease & to reduce possibility of hospitalisation. Please follow all Standard Operating Procedures that we have been following since last March. Keep your young ones safe inside the house, & step out only if necessary.

Imagine you are traversing across a river on a 3’ wide rope bridge and completed 60% of the distance. You have two travellers walking ahead of you & one family member who is a few footsteps behind you. Suddenly, there is a gush of wind, and all of you seek support of the rails made of rope to steady yourselves before trudging forward. At the time you start to release the ropes from your grasp, your family member loses their footing and starts to fumble while screaming in fear. You are a novice trekker, and have no idea regarding the travellers ahead of you. What would you do in this situation?

Think.

Serve Her / Serve His

Trust you are all staying healthy & safe. Please get vaccinated as soon as possible, as this is the only way to reduce the chances of catching this deadly disease & to reduce possibility of hospitalisation.

Some of you might think that this is an incomplete subject line for this week’s mail, and that I might have sent it out in a hurry. Answer is no, and that it is an absolute intentional title for this week’s mail.

Have you heard of the term “Phonetics”?

Phonetics is a branch of linguistics that studies how humans produce and perceive sounds, or in the case of sign languages, the equivalent aspects of sign.

Humans generally understand through perception & perspectives. We saw more on this in one of our earlier articles. So, can you distinguish someone uttering the words “here” and “hear”? Both sound very similar to each other. Words that sound similar & rhyme with one another are Homophones.

Patience. I am getting to the subject. 😀😀😀
