TAPMI Leadership Lecture Explores Traits of Effective Leaders
Imagine you're leading a team, like being the captain of a game.
This talk was about how to be a good leader.
The speaker said it's good to show your real feelings and understand how others feel (that's empathy!).
He said it's important to talk to your team in a way they understand.
It's okay to disagree, but once you've made a choice, everyone needs to work together.
He wants you to find your own way of leading, learning from people who know more than you, and building an environment where everyone wants to do their best.
Nikhil Sharma, MD of Perfetti Van Melle India, spoke at TAPMI's Leadership Lecture.
Sharma emphasized vulnerability, empathy, and communication in leadership.
He encouraged students to develop their own leadership style and learn from mentors.
Productive disagreement is a sign of a healthy team, but alignment post-decision is crucial.
The lecture was part of an initiative aligned with MAHE's 'Year of Excellence'.
