LEADERSHIP VIDEOS - FEEDBACK  

1.  Most of the students are READERS  ( Wthether they are L E A D E R S is question mark ! ) 
2. Most of the students are the same .. not much of difference. It is unfortunate that at this level students are not different. They talk so much about creativity and innovation .. But they are the same duplicates..
3. Instances they talk, examples they quote, the way they speak, is the same.. 
Most  students DO NOT show energy, enthu, conviction while they speak. They are NOT ORIGINAL but they are carbon copies.. 
Most of the students are Casual and light while they speak about their own leadership... 

Most of the students take the assignment as A S S I G N M E N T..They do not consider as learning method for themselves.  It is unfortunate .. 

Most of the students are late submissions, short duration, and  lacks overall theme for the presentation and the  vidoes.. 



GOOD THINGS: 


Some are unique, natural and different.. Leadership is visible in their faces..

Leadership concpet as applied to me..



Leadership concept as applies to me; Assignment 2 for IM 18 students

Dear IM 18 Students 
It is pleasure to visit your blog posts for the second assignment on the theme mentioned above. As I see the blog posts wrote by you,  I thought I have not communicated the purpose of the blog to you all 100 percentage. Hence, I m posting this blog post again making clear the purpose of the blog post.. 
I wish to take an example of ‘Selecting a garment for yourself ‘ for communicating the theme ‘Leadership concept as applies to you’ assignment. This is as following.


To select a garment…  you go to a shop and look for the garments. There will be many a models displayed there.  You see as many garment models around while you are finalizing the garment for you. You see Dhoni wearing garment. You may also see  SRK wearing a garment. These models help you in selecting the best garment for you.. The garments that you see may be of many sizes  and many colours and many designs and  many styles.
Finally, you select the garment which best fits you. The thing you keep in mind is to select the garment that best FITS you.  You don’t select the garment which does not fit you.
 
 

Same as above, you are asked to write the leadership that fits you.. that is required for you now, at this time juncture of your life. Intention is to make you to be aware of what leadership that matters most to you at this time. Do not forget that at this juncture of  your life you are getting in to corporate career as a management trainee. 
My feedback on the blog posts  you posted 'Leadership theme for me'. . .   is as follows:
Students while writing the blog posts, are focused on many garment models that are there in the shop. They are writing on the garment models that they are seeing in the shoop.   Students are writing on the best model of garment that they are seeing in the shop. They are not discussing how the model that they are writing is best suited to them. They are not thinking whether that fits them or not.  They are not at all looking at the garment from the point of themselves and their needs. 

Please remember, that the garment need to suit you:

It must be according to your requirements, It must be according to the look that you want to display. It must be according to the budget you are blessed with....  
 
This is what I found and thought I should convey to you all. 
What are the problems in arriving at the leadership as suited to them ?
It is agreed that it is difficult to decide for a student to decide the leadership that fits one. But one has to make a beginning of what leadership fits for oneself. Unless a beginning is made, it cannot be ever achieved.  
What cautions the students need to take while discussing the leadership that is suitable for themselves ?
What is the career path you are looking for ? 

( If one wants to play the role of Manager, he need to pick up the manager dress not bafoons dress... or a waiter dress. Same applies in picking up the leadership for a  marketing or supply chain manager's role.. You need to think on what is the leadership that matters to the career that you are going to pick up.. )

What is the kind of industry you are planning to jump in ? What kind of leadership makes difference to achieve excellence in those career paths ? Have you made any research on this ? Have you consulted people for which type of leadership is suitable for the said roles and careers and more particularly to you ? These are the set of questions that you need to engage in.
Some suggestions for a student to arrive the leadership relevant for oneself
Explore one self. Open up. Scan yourself. Self reflection is the most important.
Consult people around you. Consult your seniors / mentors  / angels.  Take their advice on what are you? What is the best for you? However, final decision is  yours only .
Don’t mistake  that selecting best fit for you is knowing the best fit for others. Don’t believe  that  a garment that best fits others fits you best. Need not be.. 
Wish you select the garment for you.
Wish you select LEADERSHIP  that is best suitable for you.   Dr.  Mandi
