Inclusion and diversity

On the surface diversity is defined in terms of gender, ethnicity or geography. However, I emphasize the various shares of diversity based on personality profiles and provide steps to bring out the best in teams.

Prioritize business objects or Customer satisfaction over technology

In the intricately complicated world of large organizations, the pursuit of efficiency, technology, and progress often takes precedence over the essence of business success — the customer. Having spent countless hours interviewing candidates and collaborating with cross-functional teams, I have noticed a concerning trend: many individuals lose sight of the customer amidst the complexities of their roles.

Multi tasking or Single tasking : How mindfulness will help?

Multitasking, the art of juggling multiple tasks at the same time, has been lauded in various contexts, especially in today’s fast-paced, digital world. The ability to handle emails, attend a Zoom meeting, and work on a presentation simultaneously might seem like the hallmark of productivity. However, there’s increasing evidence that multitasking may not be as beneficial as once thought, and in many situations, single-tasking or focusing on one thing at a time could be more advantageous.

While multitasking with automatic behaviors (like walking and talking) is manageable, combining two cognitive tasks (like writing an email while participating in a meeting) still results in inefficiencies. Even with simple tasks, the cognitive load increases, leading to potential errors and time lost.
