Experiences at TISS - Aparna Vittal Das

Experiences at TISS - Aparna Vittal Das

When I heard “We have zero tolerance for any discrimination based on sex, caste, religion, region, language, sexual orientation, or on any other basis whatsoever,” for the fifth time in two days, I thought they were overdoing it. These were the standard things that every institute claimed, I thought. However, it didn't take me too long to understand how seriously TISS meant it. TISS has committees that investigated sexual harassment, ensured social protection, and facilitated the functioning of the dining hall, and cyber affairs. Each of these committees / cells has student representation besides having experts from the respective fields. In fact, a vibrant, newly-elected student union that was elected through a democratic election process, just swore in earlier this week.

Are Leaders born in MBA Classes?

Are Leaders born in MBA Classes?

Well what inspired me to write this article was:  not long ago (rather two days back) in a fine class of my venerable professor of Advanced learning and development, a topic came up for discussion and the above mentioned theme was a question she asked all of us. The source of the question was a HBR case study of Goldman Sachs leadership development academy in the class. As the pedagogy of some of our subjects consists of only HBR case studies followed with discussions of the articles given to be read along with the cases, we have been party to many such discussions and an entire elective subject was dedicated to power and leadership courtesy by another professor. We have been bombarded with quite a lot of literature on leadership. As usual for a typical MBA class where things are always being evaluated, it being a cut throat competitive world one's voice needs to get heard and thus started a long discussion.
