Ishan
Institute of Management & Technology is one of the top MBA Colleges in
Delhi NCR. For the last twenty one years we have built on a legacy of producing
business executives and business leaders to serve corporate India and the
world. In these twenty one years the world has changed a lot and so have the
contours of corporate life. Life on the fast track has never been easy but the
truth is that speed, scale and space have become daunting challenges like never
before even in our personal lives. One of the reasons behind being hailed as
one of the top MBA Colleges in Delhi NCR is that Ishan has consistently
reinvented its curriculum to offer not just academic lessons but real business
lessons that transform a man into a business executive. Having said this, it is
important to remark here that the lessons that go into the making of a business
executive are as much about managing business as it is about managing oneself.
Managing a business starts with managing and taking care of one self. Very
often we have observed that a man who cannot manage his life cannot be expected
to manage a business. So at Ishan Institute of Management & Technology,
management starts with managing the man.
Manage Tasks Not Relations
Ever
wondered what makes business leaders from Karnataka, Tamil Nadu, and Andhra Pradesh
so successful at managing business enterprises? They manage tasks not
relations. They manage their work not the boss or colleagues. At home and
office how often do we play into the hands of our loved ones or those who are
close to us? The truth is that every business executive with the slightest
business sense formulates a to-do list and sets time limits for each of the
tasks on the to-do list to be completed. Yet very few people are able to
achieve all the right marks on the items of the to-do list every day. Unless we
resolve to stick to working for ourselves ad for the sake of what we want, we
will always be caught up with tasks that lead to wastage of resources, time and
efforts. It is easy to manage tasks when you do not have to manage relations.
Do not let that family photo, phone call from your friend, message from your
pal or any other distraction asking for a favour get in the way of your focus.
Less is More and Small is Beautiful
Ever
wondered why some of the best business leaders in the BFSI vertical come from
the Marwari community? They understand economic efficiency like nobody else
does. The willingness to do more with the existing set of resources and achieve
more within the constraints imposed on them is a skill that few people have. Those
who do realize that more than the numbers of resources, it is resource
allocation and optimization that is important. In many top business schools in
India and across the world we talk of green business, technical efficiency,
products and process innovation and yet fail to follow suit in our lives.
Realize that less is more when we learn to make the most of less.
Do What You Love and Love What You
Do
What
makes Denmark stand out in Europe? What makes Bhutan stand out in Asia? These
two countries are not even half as big as India. Every time you chase a target
you will always fall behind in the race of life. Targets are illusions. One
leads to another and there is no pit stop in this race. The results are
exhaustion, burn out and fatigue. Do what you love and love what you do. The
result is happiness. Happiness is what you experience without a heavy wallet,
glamorous clothes and a swanky new apartment. There is absolutely no point in
chasing anything unless you enjoy the chase. Enjoy the chase and you will
regularly be hitting the target.
Decide on Having an Identity that
Adapts to Time, Space and Scale
Who
am I? Who will give the answer to this question? Does the answer have to
change? Is there any correct answer? The answer to all of these questions is
yes. When you wake up in the morning and dress up in that executive power
suite, take your breakfast and zoom to the office with the laptop bag on your
shoulder, you are mercenary on a mission for your enterprise. Look no further.
From Monday to Saturday evening do not think twice about this question. You are
what you are. When at work do not let anything else come your way. Your
enterprise is your shop and the market is your address. You have no business
mixing family with business. You have no right to let go an inch of space to
your competitors or give a piece of your mind to colleagues and clients for
what has happened at home. From Saturday night to Sunday night you are the
doting father, loving husband, a very caring son and a friend to your children.
Do the household chores, help your wife buying groceries, empower your children
to decide what is best for them, sit by your parents and listen to them. You
have no right to hurt them for what you are going through at work. Scale up
this dichotomy for days, weeks, months and years.
