Conducted a Leadership Workshop at MindTree Limited
Initiative of Dept. of Comp Sc. Christ University and Data Warehousing Practice, MindTree
Date : 21 - Jan -2010
Participants : 18 Employees with 2+ years of experience
Agenda

• Followership
• Self Belief
• IPS
• Getting Buy In / Selling Ideas
• Leadership Traits
• Career Plan / Organisation Alignment

Conducted some different kind of activities to make participants realise the importance of many of these areas.
One question which was raised by Bragga was that can leadership can actually be trained ? A very good question , I feel that my one day workshop is not meant to teach you leadership but make you appreciate the importance of it and make one see where they stand currently on the different expected traits.

Coming back to the question asked, yes I feel leadership can be trained but like most skills it needs to be honed, a mentor to guide and experiences and time to actually ripen

Dipanjan M faciltated the Career Planning / Growth Session. His frank and clear point of view was very refreshing. He highlighted the need for individuals to align to organisation goals on the same hand he shared that anybody in the DWH leadership team would be more than willing to help individuals to reach their career goals.

Sincere thanks to Pavan, Lijosh in helping to organise it.

I will post any feedbacks I get on this blog
