Has the so-called “Mad Men Era” rested in peace forever? Have the perspectives towards women changed permanently? Has the globalization helped women come out of the cocoon? Has the empowerment overtaken the objectification of women? Has the society evolved in a true sense?
Robert was perceived as a strict individual. He commanded respect in society but much of that respect emanated out of fear for him. It was not that he was aggressive or boisterous or displayed a raging temper. But it was his quiet and grim demeanour coupled with his broad chest and a six-and-a-half-foot tall frame that evoked a sense of awe among people. Robert had a booming voice but not many had heard it. He was the silent-kind who let his presence do the talking.
The ALS ice bucket challenge has truly grabbed the eyeballs of many. In fact it has become a viral phenomenon as we have seen many celebrities and others dunking buckets of water on their heads, challenging others to do the same to promote awareness of the disease and encourage donations
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.
A good manager is one who can see beyond numbers
