As India Celebrates Vijayadashami (Dussehra), At Mindwrks we drawn lot of parallels with management and leadership lessons: 🌟 Happy Vijayadashami and Dussehra to Everyone! 🌟 As we celebrate "Vijayadashami", a day symbolizing the victory of good over evil, it’s a great moment to reflect on the timeless lessons this festival offers in leadership and management. 🎯 In the story of "Lord Rama (Good)" defeating "Ravana (Evil)", we see lessons that resonate with us as leaders and professionals: 1.Ethical Leadership: Rama's leadership was rooted in ethics, compassion, and responsibility. In management, strong leaders balance success with integrity, ensuring that their teams thrive in an environment of trust and fairness. 2.Teamwork and Empowerment: Rama didn’t fight alone; he built a diverse team (Hanuman, Sugriva, the Vanara army) and empowered them to use their unique strengths. In today's business world, successful leaders recognize the power of collaboration, leveraging the diversity of their teams to achieve great outcomes. 3.Strategic Thinking and Patience: The path to victory wasn’t swift—it required strategy, patience, and perseverance. Whether we are managing teams or projects, sustainable success comes from thinking ahead, planning carefully, and staying resilient through challenges. 4.Continuous Learning: Ravana was brilliant, but his downfall was his ego and unwillingness to learn. Vijayadashami reminds us to remain humble, open to feedback, and always striving for growth, both personally and professionally. On this auspicious occasion, let’s all strive to be better leaders—ones who empower, uplift, and lead with purpose and humility. Wishing you all success, peace, and happiness. Happy Vijayadashami! 🎉 MINDWRKS People Solutions & IT Services #Vijayadashami #Dussehra #Leadership #Management #Teamwork #Growth #PeopleFirst #Learning #Collaboration

Let Go, Anchor, Flow This year, I began 2025 with reflection, gratitude, and curiosity. My journey took me to Varanasi, a city of contrasts: bustling chaos balanced by meditative stillness, the energy of thousands softened by the tranquil flow of the Ganga. Standing on its banks, I was struck by how leadership, too, is a study of contrasts. It’s about balancing decisiveness with reflection, tradition with innovation, and action with pause. On a quiet boat ride, I reflected on leadership transitions in this city known for transformation and letting go. Varanasi taught me that growth begins with release—shedding what no longer serves us to make room for new possibilities. Here are three powerful lessons from Varanasi that I carry into leadership transitions: Let Go to Grow Just as the Ganga carries away what no longer serves, leaders must release outdated habits, self-doubt, or perfectionism. In leadership, letting go isn’t about giving up—it’s about creating space for what truly matters, whether it’s empowering your team or embracing innovation.    Anchoring Yourself in Purpose In Varanasi, every ritual is steeped in meaning. Similarly, leadership transitions are easier to navigate when anchored in purpose. Staying connected to your "why" provides clarity and direction, even amidst uncertainty. Flow with Grace The Ganga doesn’t resist obstacles—it adapts, bends, and keeps moving forward. Leadership transitions require the same resilience. Instead of fearing change, leaders who embrace it with agility and grace often discover new opportunities for growth. Varanasi reminded me that transitions—whether in leadership or life—aren’t just about where you’re headed. They’re about how you navigate the journey: with intention, reflection, and a willingness to let go. What’s one belief, habit, or practice you’ll release this year to create space for growth? Let’s reflect together—share your thoughts below. #Leadershiptransitions #LessonsfromVaranasi #2025 #mindset

Leadership especially in the world of testing and quality is quite fascinating. It brings with it, its own set of challenges and learnings. One of the aspects of leadership in testing and quality is the social aspect. Anthropology has helped me understand how different people react to various situations based on their societal make up. What works in one culture might just not work in another. For example, people in the Netherlands are considered to be quite straightforward compared to the people in India. This is an effect of social conditioning. This is very important to bear in mind while collaborating with others especially from a different geography. Social conditioning and cultural make up also propagates biases and it is very important for the leaders to keep this in mind when they have large teams and people from various cultures. You'd also see differences between in hiring practices across geographies. It is not only important to acknowledge these differences but also important to learn from them to maximize the potential of your cross functional, cross regional teams. While you push your teams to be more and more technical, the onus lies on you to acknowledge the differences, understand and assimilate the plurality into your team culture. #softwaretesting #leadership #culture #brijeshsays

We had this golden opportunity to gather these pearls of wisdom from Vivek Karmakar. His approach is old school, ‘simple and effective’ and not fancy and complicated. He believes in delivering the working solution and cherishes passing his valuable experience to his juniors. At SETU School we believe in learning the latest AI and GenAI concepts with real-industry use cases and examples. Our partners share and help in realising their lifetime experiences which guide us to move on a trajectory of success and leadership. Vivek Karmakar defines transitioning into the leadership role as a personal choice of actions and approach. He says we can not personally plan for the outcomes in a journey of becoming a leader. Just focus on these aspects from day1 and be a grateful contributor! #AI #GenAI #Leadership #ExperienceWithSETU #SetuSchool

"Successful people always have two things on their lips: silence and a smile. Silence to solve problems, and a smile to avoid problems." – Swami Vivekananda We often forget the power of pausing and reflecting before reacting in our busy lives. Silence allows us to think clearly and find solutions, while a smile helps us stay calm and positive, even in challenging situations. It’s a simple yet powerful approach to navigating both work and life. Sometimes, less is more. 😊 #axzoraresourcing #axzoragroup #SwamiVivekananda #Success #Wisdom #Leadership #PersonalGrowth Axzora Resourcing Axzora Resourcing

What went down during the “Performance = Potential – Interference” conversation yesterday? Firstly, thank you Pon Latha A for being such a wonderful host and spreading the power of self-mastery and self leadership. In the conversation, we explored: 🎯 What is potential and performance; 🎯 What are the interferences - internal and external that a leader could face; 🎯 Anecdotes and stories from my life and practice to highlight these; 🎯 The Energy Mastery wheel which indicates internal interferences and mastery in the 5 dimensions of human existence; 🎯 The Poornatva cohort starting in August as a journey towards self mastery. What a few participants had to share about the conversation: ✨I truly enjoyed listening to your master class on Potential - Interference. I’ve come across this equation in my coach training in the past. But the way you have integrated this with an Indian heart rooted in the panchakoshas was super enlightening. Thank you for sharing your stories and I look forward to learning so much more from you in the future. Nupur Netan Sachdeva ✨Thank you Deepa Mahesh and Pon Latha A for the wonderful energy both of you brought while sharing your experiences and insights during the entire conversation.🌞🌻Archana Chhatre ✨Grateful to universe and Grateful to u Deepa , Latha it was so good to see u both together ❤️ Kamala Narayan Please let me know if you would like to listen to the recording. #conversation #cohort #poornatva #webinar #energy #leadership

✨ A Story You Can’t Ignore ✨   In 1979, a young scientist led the launch of the SLV-3 satellite in India. The rocket failed mid-air, and the mission was declared unsuccessful. That scientist was Dr. A.P.J. Abdul Kalam, who later became one of India’s most celebrated leaders.   What’s remarkable is not the failure but what followed. Kalam’s mentor, Dr. Satish Dhawan, took the responsibility for the failure publicly. Dhawan stated, “The team worked hard; I take the blame.”   A year later, the team succeeded, and this time, Dhawan asked Kalam to address the press and share the success story. This moment taught Kalam a profound lesson, true leadership is about protecting your team in failure and uplifting them in success.   Aspiring leaders often fear failure, but Kalam’s journey shows that mistakes are not the end. They are powerful lessons that shape resilience, innovation, and greatness. Leadership isn’t about avoiding failure but navigating through it, fostering trust, and inspiring growth.   So, ask yourself: How do you respond to setbacks? Do you embrace failure as a stepping stone, or do you let it define you?   When leaders own their journey, their teams thrive. 🌟 DM me for any help. 📩   AND YES, if you are looking for some help in AI, Excel or any productivity related topics, follow me at Instagram: https://lnkd.in/dBNn_XTZ YouTube: https://lnkd.in/d9rT-_8k   #LeadershipLessons, #FailureToSuccess, #TeamEmpowerment, #InspireToLead, #GrowthMindset   Leadership from failure, lessons from Abdul Kalam, leadership resilience, empowering teams, growth through mistakes
