Welingkar Bengaluru
Theme - 'Responsible leaders...passionately curious'
remains at the core of all deliberations.
DAY 6 (02 July) - Neev 2015 (Welingkar,
Bengaluru)
Leadership is
Helping the Team Accomplish Set Goals
 By now the clouds of anxiety and doubts seemed to be all
dispelled. The students seemed to more settled in their
thought process and clearer about their future course of
action and goals. All they needed was a beacon of light to
steer them clear and guide them along through the ups and
downs, steering them clear of the pitfalls. And the
session with Pradeep Deshpande, GM - Talent Acquisition &
Mobility seemed be the perfect answer.
Deshpande, dwelling
upon the career framework underlined the quintessential
elements -purpose, plan, position and perseverance. He
said leadership is not about leading but finding a
solution to a problem. To find a solution to a problem a
leader should be able to find the right talent. He advised
the students to work and collaborate to accomplish the set
goals.
Welingkar is one of
the pioneers among b schools to offer programs in Design
Thinking. Design Thinking, simplified a bit is nothing but
human centric approach that puts the stakeholder at the
core of solutions, product or services. It does not always
tread the trodden path rather more often relies on out box
thinking to conjure up solutions that were not even
thought of before under the conventional approach. The
Design team at Welingkar introduced their subject to the
students in a unique and innovative way as the latter were
asked to create a chandelier using thread, fevicol and a
balloon. Prof Prakash Unakal and Prof Mohan Chandra were
at the helm of affairs during the fun packed session.
Under Hands-On the
groups were offered to select from activites of clay
modelling, Dance, Proto Lab, Music and Theatre. And then
each group was given insights into elements of their
selected activity. Later the students were divided into
teams and given different themes which each team had to
enact. And thus afternoon was devoted to a practical and
creative learning of activities which all the students
enjoyed to the hilt.
