XIMB Celebrates 16th Convocation, Awards Degrees to 303 Students

"To be an effective leader, you need to shed know-all syndrome as people in the industry are there with or without formal degrees. In the world of multiple choices, choicelessness is what you can expect for yourself. You can not choose your boss, your peer groups and even your team also.

Under those circumstances what you need is not the ability but also humility, patience and values," advised Mr. Bhargava.

According to him, the business manager of 2020 need inspiration, motivation, walk the talk, analytical and cognitive ability. "As you go along, you need much more skills and the most important to me is open mind and ability to learn. You will also learn that experience is a baggage which we have to leave behind. To survive, you need to be globally competitive as shape of the business in 2020 will be decided by young mangers of today with their competency and skill and strategy," he quipped.

During his speech, Mr. Bhargava shared some interesting insights about the managerial functions in the pre- and post-liberalization era. According to him, the post liberalization era ushered new challenges for managers - restored management decision-making to mangers along with risk, suddenly Indian managers found new wave of entrepreneurship and for the first time, Indian mangers started thinking strategically.

In his concluding remarks, Mr. Bhargava said, "Learning to accept changes is the most difficult part of life, empowerment is a tool which the Indian manager is yet to learn. You need to develop skills and competence to cope with challenges of the corporate life. During this process, you might take risks, failure is inherent, but it should disappear in the night and each new day presents new challenges. Believe in your skills, competency and confidence to succeed in life."
