...Incredible Banker ' It was sometime in 2001 that I got promoted from assistant VP to vice president . At that time, I was managing the mortgage business in North India for a leading foreign bank. Even after my promotion, I continued doing the same role - only the title changed. All my earlier promotions had come with a change in my role and responsibilities. One of my seniors, who is still with the bank, on one of his visits to Delhi, took me out for dinner to celebrate my move from AVP to VP. Vice presidents were a rare breed those days, so becoming one did call for a celebration. I took the opportunity and decided to voice my concern. "What next? Does the organisation have a plan for me?" "As in?" "Now that I have been promoted, will I continue doing the mortgage role for another two years or is there any plan to move me to some other role?" He smiled. I guess my anxiety was obvious . "Do you know Ravi, who all love you?" I had a blank reaction to this question . "Remember" , he continued, "Your family and parents are the only ones who love you. They will do things selflessly for you. Not only that, they will always have your best interests in mind. Everyone else will only do what suits them." "But what's the relevance?" I was a bit confused. "If you think anyone is managing your career for you, you are mistaken. Others will only do what fits in their scheme of things and not necessarily what is good for you. Very few people will put your interests before themselves." I didn't...

But people are so blind that they do not want to see how they are destroying our Earth and they do not even try to change themselves; they think that for each problem there is specific organization which will solve it or government whose responsibility is to protect their own nations. Very sad to say, that most of population are taking our “home nature” for granted. They want to consume and never contribute, so here is a base of problem that is why many people suffering from...

...Developing a Culture of Leadership Development Preamble Leadership has been defined as “the process of influencing people by providing purpose, direction, and motivation while operating to accomplish the mission and improve the organization” (Sewell, 2009, p. 93). Arguably, it is this type of effective leadership that is the requirement of every high functioning organization. In order for an organization to achieve high levels of leadership success, an organization must foster and sustain the correct environment, provide the correct tools and supports, and ultimately ensure that culture supports the development of future leaders from within. It is the focus of this paper to provide an overview of the valuable elements and techniques supporting cultural development that will lead to effective leadership development for any high functioning organization. The Leadership Environment In developing a culture for leadership development, an organization must understand its inner workings, specifically the existing culture of the organization. “A culture can be defined as the norms, practices, history and values of an organization — in other words: ‘how things are done around here.’” (Osak, 2014, p. 1) These subtle nuances will help to share the thoughts, values and behaviours of organizations employees. Values “Values are what support the vision, shape the culture and reflect what the company values. They are the essence of the company’s identity – the principles...
