Follies of Young Leaders: ET Article

Dear IM 18 students, 

Here is an article " Follies of Young leaders " appeared in ET  25 Sep, 2012

You are asked to write 'Leadership Profile ' as a blog. You might be confused what you need to cover in such a blog. It is suggested that you can make use of the contents of this article in developing your Leadership Profile Blog. Here are some ideas for you to consider.

• What are your goals ? Are your goals high / Very high / Low ? Have your ever got any feedback from any mentor on this aspect. 
•  
• Whether enough efforts are made to achieve the goals that are set ? Have you got
  plans / strategies to achieve set goals ? Whether your plans /
  strategies are innovative ones so that goals that are set  are made '
  Realistic ' and achieved ?
• 
  
• Have you identified your strengths ? How you have done  any systematic analysis ? Where are the
  proofs for that ? If it not done, when are you going to find out what
  are your strengths ? Are you doing mistake of trying to work on your WEAKNESSES.. ? Have you checked it ?
• 
  
• What changes you could make you in last two - three years ? any
  proofs / valid data for that ? Are they right changes you have tried
  for ?
• 
  
• Do you have any mentoring of people ? List one / two mentors you had
  in the last two years ? Was there solid commitment from you for the
  mentoring ? show proofs for the same?  What did they mentored ? How
  was it useful to you ?
• 
  
• Do you work life balance ? Show proofs..
  

I wish students  while writing their blogs include and think on these
questions for themselves. We can have discussion on this aspect in the
next class..
