Crafting Young Leaders - Business Managers HR Magazine - March 2013
Dear Friends,
Educated vs. employable is not a new issue in our country. Number of unemployed educated persons is increasing day by day and is a big challenge not only for the Govt. but also for any sensible and responsible society. The problem is more aggravated in terms of persons of rural background. In this competitive world where packaging matters most, underprivileged and youth from rural background finds difficult to get job in urban India. Business needs also created a bias in the minds of recruiters in favour of English speaking candidates. They are positioned to walk away with job offers mainly because of their proficiency in English language and certain sophistication during interview. Youth with rural background without these presentation (self marketing) skills feels awkward and tongue tied when it comes to cracking the interview.
Apart from the above, youngsters need to be coached in many other skills too which develop their moral quotient. Qualities young managers should have in present times can be-intellect, Influence, learning agility and drive. Influence and humility is not taught in schools. When intelligence combines with humility, it becomes the unbeatable combination for any young leader.
This was understood by a person, who comes from rural background and made his own way in corporate world in Mumbai with dignity and respect. He is Dr. P.N. Singh. Believing in doing good to others is not easy to found. Probably, guided by this philosophy, Dr. Singh under his foundation launched ‘Leaders for tomorrow’ project with the objective to develop and nurture slum children through imparting free training so that such girls and boys also come up to the level of urbanites in terms of making them self sufficient to lead their life with moral values. His foundation is quietly investing in building soft skills among youth with ethics and values since last many years in Maharashtra.
The cover feature of this issue carries articles/views of renowned management experts and academicians who deliberated upon the qualities of young leaders and challenges they may face in this volatile and complex world. Young leaders with the ability to join the dots, comfortable with ambiguity and able to make sense of the seeming paradoxes being observed around us will make their way ahead-was the conclusion.
March is also about saluting the women power on this universe. Renowned corporate women HR leaders Aparna Sharma and Dr. Tanvi Gautam take a look at status of women in corporate world and society at large.
If you like it let us know. If not, well, let us know that too.
Happy Reading!
