He gave examples of his tough days during 2008 when recession hit badly. At that phase, his company was on the verge of closing down, they were forced to do lay-offs, reduce the team size all across and also tried to place those employees in different organization, so that they do not remain jobless.

The he followed up his discussion with quite a few management games which he conducted with us. He involved the whole batch through different round of activities which had a very good learning like how to achieve goals, how it’s important to be a good team player and also encourage your team members.

He concluded the session with his take, “In a group discussion, don’t interrupt when others are making a point, give opportunities to others as well. Its not necessary that only one person can be a winner, everyone can be a winner with proper co-ordination amongst one another.”

Overall it was a very interactive and engrossing situation. Lots of learning and take-away for young management aspirants like us
