The Corporate Culture - Today's need
Be fungible and amenable — not just in tech, but in thought.
There was a time when certain Indian states strongly resisted Hindi, even though it was the official language. The pluralism was so intense that the common ground became English — ironically, a foreign language.
The twist? Even those who rejected Hindi often struggled with English too. But they adapted — because survival in a diverse system demands flexibility.
Same applies to your skills. Languages (spoken or coded) are just tools. Don’t get emotionally attached to one. The real skill is your willingness to shift gears.
“Blow your own trumpet” — it's not vanity, it's visibility.
In most corporate cultures, if you don’t speak up about your work (and your team’s achievements), no one else will.
I’ve said it before: if you can’t communicate and showcase the value you bring, your silence becomes your invisibility.
It’s not enough to just do the work — you must demonstrate it. Through words, action, and presence.
Let the spotlight reflect your efforts — not for ego, but for impact.
Identify Your Unique Mission.
🔍 Pinpoint the one rare skill, niche problem, or novel approach you bring to the table—that’s your focus.
But don’t go rogue: ensure it aligns seamlessly with your company’s SOPs and strategic goals.
Master that sweet spot and you become the go‑to specialist driving real impact.
Be a Coach, Not a Commander.
In today’s world, no one works under anyone. We work with each other. Hierarchies exist for structure and accountability — not ego.
As a leader, your job is to be a Coach, a Guru, and a Cheerleader — all rolled into one.
Build trust.
Teach something new every day.
Lead with empathy, not authority.
When you combine motivation with positivity, performance naturally follows — and so does a great workplace culture.
