An organised and simple language is & for the intended listener or audience.
To ensure that the colleagues understand their manager or leader correctly, few simple things can be done-
1. Using short sentences
2. Limiting few sentences to one idea
3. Using everyday words and not using unnecessary words
4. Avoiding jargon’s/ technical terms, if at all these are required to be used, explaining them those words
5.Speaking in active voice
Words are our tools, using them mindfully even

is
Lot of times we tend to use vocabulary that might not be understood by many.
Many times we think , writing lengthy paragraphs will speak about our knowledge.
Many times we forget that the power generating interest lies on us, as a speaker.
We often forget that the attention span is decreasing .
Oh! Do we actually try to listen ? - to the words, the expressions, the gestures, when we speak?
Basics , right? But we don’t go anywhere unless our basics are right.
Happy Monday!

When do we stop growing?
When we stop learning.
The very fact that we don’t share others thoughts, research, perspectives and are busy showing ourselves as the greatest of all , tells how we have stopped learning.
It is no secret to anyone that the power of learning goes far beyond the university classroom. We learn with our friends and in our jobs. Any situation could turn into an opportunity to expand our knowledge and experience..
This Ted talk , humorous enough, opens up our perspective about procrastination.
isn’t a particularly way , isn’t about being proactive all the time is about lot of and those to the world.

We mostly talk about leadership skills development, another important aspect is evaluating leadership effectiveness . It is also critical to understanding the impact on employees/colleagues or organisational performance. To effectively measure this, we can consider the following-
1. Set clear goals and objectives- Establish specific, measurable, achievable, relevant, and time-bound (SMART) goals for leaders to work towards.
2. Leadership competencies- Assess leaders against key competencies such as:
- Strategic thinking
- Communication
- Collaboration
- Emotional intelligence
- Decision-making
- Coaching and development
3. Performance metrics- Track leaders' performance using metrics such as:
- Team engagement and satisfaction
- Productivity and efficiency
- Employee turnover and retention
- Customer satisfaction and loyalty
- Financial performance (e.g., revenue growth, profitability)
4. Leadership development plans -Create personalized development plans to address areas for improvement and enhance leadership skills.
5. Organizational impac - Evaluate the leader's impact on the organization, including:
- Culture and climate
- Innovation and innovation adoption
- Diversity, equity, and inclusion
- Social responsibility and sustainability
6. Benchmarking- Compare leadership effectiveness to industry benchmarks or best practices.
7. Continuous improvement- Regularly refine and improve the evaluation process to ensure it remains relevant and effective.
Identifying these and the need for further growth and development will lead to drive growth in terms of productivity.

Everyday is a challenge for me to communicate effectively with my 17 year old daughter- they have their distinct set of beliefs and maybe’values’(?)
Here are some key points to consider:
1. Gen X (born 1965-1980): Value work-life balance, flexibility, and autonomy. Prefer direct and efficient communication. Tend to be more hands-off in leadership style.
2. Millennials (born 1981-1996): Value diversity, inclusion, and feedback. Prefer digital communication and collaborative leadership.
3. Gen Z (born 1997-2012): Value authenticity, sustainability, and creativity. Prefer visual and interactive communication. Tend to be more entrepreneurial in leadership style.
Hence, few points noted below might be useful-
1. Adapt communication styles to meet the needs of different generations.
2. Emphasize work-life balance and flexibility to attract and retain younger generations.
3. Use technology to enable communication and collaboration across generations.
4. Foster inclusive and diverse teams to leverage the strengths of each generation.
5. Develop leadership styles that are adaptable, empathetic, and empowering.
By understanding and embracing these generational differences, leaders can create a more effective and harmonious work environment.

I have always believed in walking the talk.
When I say learn, unlearn and relearn or when I quote Alvin Tofler who once said-
“The illiterate of the 21st century will not be those who cannot read and write, but those who cannot learn, unlearn and relearn."
In my last trip to Mumbai, incidentally three generations of women were seated in the same row and as we discovered each other, we cherished, debated and celebrated our differences in perspectiveof personal and social life. It was then when I shared that I’ll be turning 50 shortly and that I have taken up a course from one of the IIM’s. The other two women who are doing equally great in their respective fields, expressed their appreciation and enthusiasm for my approach towards upgrading my skills and knowledge. I was told I inspired them in a short time. That was the moment of the day !!
Learning to match with the charging environment and stepping out of the comfort zone ( we know the generation Z are super intelligent, being in the same classroom with them is super challenging) ,accepting that it’s about moving forward ,allows us to be better off in our lives.

from my latest flight.
I have been hearing a lot of negative stories about Indigo - the most acclaimed airline in our country.
In my latest flight a smiling, pretty young crew member came up to me and handed over a slip for my feedback. To my surprise I was probably the only one or one of the few passengers who had the opportunity to give feedback.
I am sure about one thing that has prompted the young lady to choose me - .
What was the other reason or reasons?
Is it that as much as the behaviour of a service personnel is important, it’s equally vital that the client/ customer demonstrates rationality, assertion calmness over aggression?
Thoughts in comments please.

Each day teaches us more about life.. the lessons leave a deep impression on our minds to live a more fulfilling one.
As I am going through another phase of learning, I thought of sharing what I discovered in the process.
Letting go- what does it do to us?
1. We find unlimited avenues to make our lives better.
2. The power of freedom lies in our hands
3. We become more resilient
4. We develop stronger self worth
5. We accept situations readily
We are less burdened emotionally and hence nothing comes in the path of our spiritual and overall growth.

As I was talking to my daughters about the virtues of being consistent in everything, however unimportant it may seem, it stuck me to use the example of consistent and inconsistent equations.
It is proven through mathematics that when something is consistent and dependent it has infinite solutions, whereas consistent and independent has one solution and inconsistency has no solution.
Although I was never good at maths , but I could very easily relate to this particular type of maths, with our life habits.

Do we remember that we were taught feelings and emotions as children? Giving a thought to our feelings came almost naturally.
How many times do we pause to understand our feelings as an adult? Rarely or never.
The irony is ,as children we would clearly express our feelings ( unless we were introverted) and now we don’t have the time.
Probably we need to become a child once again to revive ourselves and learn how to communicate our emotions.
The story below is written by a 5th grader and that reminded me of my childhood.

A start to the week with a thought provoking speech.
Oh! I was watching this particular video to ‘learn’ from the highly ‘learned’ person.

Whenever we present our point, it’s important that we hold the listener’s interest and attention.
There are many parts to such a presentation.
Reminders-
1. Body language
2. Words
3. Tone
4. Pitch
5. Pause
6. Arranging our points before we present

Rather than I keep on posting my thoughts, learnings and understandings, I personally think , it holds more value if we get the minds of others.
Movies are excellent source for making us aware and help us clearly see how soft skills are important in different situations.
The author in the article I shared below, beautifully explained how communication gap can be disastrous.
