The second day of the workshop included many team exercises hosted by Still Water, a company which is into training and executive coaching. They helped us to embark on a journey to self-discovery and emerge as leaders of tomorrow who will practice inclusive growth. This was followed by talks by HUL leaders and faculty, and sessions which gave us a chance to explore our leadership styles. A tour to see the workstations of the HUL employees along with a walk down the office, added a cherry on the cake as we were treated to delicious Magnum ice-cream and got mini hair-styling makeovers at the TIGI Professional salon in the premises.
In conclusion, I must mention that felt that I have learnt a lot more about myself, my goals and my values and the terms that I need to set in life in order to become a good leader – by adhering to my leadership style. The workshop has not only taught me how I could balance my style of working, but also how I should beneficially co-exist with people above and below me in the hierarchy when I join my new organization after my PGDM program. This is truly a learning beyond academia and one that I will cherish for life.
