Initiative and leadership go hand in hand. Wherever you go, it's your initiative that is going to make an impact. Suppose it's your first day of the college or the first day of your job; every other student or person is equal to you. But what creates the difference over the subsequent years is your "initiative". When you start someplace new, a job, or a college, there are already platforms that can empower you. What remains is to make use of them. And that happens when you ta

Have you ever wondered why only less than 1% of people in the world lead a highly successful life? Is it because they are talented? Or is it that they just came across the right opportunities in their life? Or was it their destiny? What is it that makes these few people so successful? It is true that they are talented, and they probably did come across the right opportunities. But one major contributor to their success can arguably be circled down to perseverance. We, humans,

Leadership is often thought of as the skill of being able to manage other people and resources optimally. Though it is not entirely wrong, but there is another crucial aspect of good leadership which is often not discussed. A good leader is the one who also carries himself properly, lives up to his own standards and has a strong moral compass. On the way of becoming a good leader, experiencing success and failures, ups and downs, praise and criticism are inevitable. How one d

‘Ikigai’ is a Japanese concept which literally means “a reason for being”. The origin of this idea can be traced back to the Heian period (794 to 1185 AD). This concept is highly pervasive on the island of Okinawa, which has been holding the record of having the maximum number of centenarians across the globe for years. Although there are other attributes like eating only to satisfy 80% of hunger and exercising regularly which contribute to the long life of the Japanese, Ikig

Many a time, it feels that things are going out of hand, things are moving too fast ... Is our life in our control? Is it still—‘Hey there! I am using WhatsApp ’ or has it become ‘Hey there! WhatsApp’s been using me’? Or a more cardinal question, do we know certainly — well, what we are doing with ourselves? Could we do better? Where are we investing our tritely ‘precious’ time and has its harvest been commensurate enough? Definitely, some of these questions do not have cogen

" And why do we fall Bruce? So we can learn to pick ourselves up." This line from Christopher Nolan's 'Batman Begins' has always inspired me and I try to keep it in mind whenever I feel low. I’ve been a student at IITGN for only two years, but the experiences I have gone through, the mistakes I have made and the things that I have learned so far don’t do justice to that number. The mistakes that I have made seem more significant to me. We always learn from our mistakes, don’t

The COVID 19 has brought the world to its knees! It has jolted us all out of our comfortable cocoons and presented us with unforeseen and unexpected challenges. In this scenario, more than ever, the five pillars of Finding the Leader in You (FLY) program; Conscientiousness, Innovativeness, Perseverance, Problem Solving and Taking Initiative show their relevance in career building. As corporations all across suffer huge losses and millions of employees are laid off, there are

There are thousands of articles, quotes, papers that can be found on leaders, their responsibilities, and their working etiquette. But somehow they fail to provide a clear and direct answer to some of the following questions: Who is a true leader, and how does he lead his life? Is a true leader someone who manages all the things perfectly? Is a true leader a person who always makes the correct decision? Is he/she always responsible for every instance related to the well-being

Self worth refers to our personal perception of ourselves, in other words, one's worth as a person, as perceived by oneself [1][2]. Self worth should not be confused with what opinions others have about ourselves. The majority of the things that we do revolve around increasing our self worth as a person, for example, performing well at studies, maintaining good relations, excelling at extracurricular activities, and even small things like using social media or playing video g

As the current Covid-19 pandemic has crippled the world in an obvious way, there is an attitude in us that has been crippling our competitiveness silently, individually as well as collectively! This pandemic is 'Chalta hai' attitude! The striking difference between Covid-19 pandemic and 'Chalta hai' pandemic is, we usually observe ourselves for symptoms of physical disease, while we keep observing the symptoms of attitudinal disease in others and often do not see glaring sy

What does it exactly mean by effective communication? To be able to speak properly in front of some countable folks? Or is it related to speaking fluent English? Well, effective communication is far more than this. It is being able to speak up, without the fear of being judged, yet be responsible for what one has said, and at the same time, be a good listener. Whether it be professional workspaces or personal engagements, it is important to communicate one’s opinions and aspi
