EnterpriseJoyEpisode #10 - a dance with Trust with Sarika Kharbanda (26m)Relationships are built on Trust. Possibly every story in history has an element of Trust, be it with fallen monarchs, birth of religions, rise of organisations, or even examples from the animal kingdom. This has been an area of research for many years and as we flourish in the age of information, Trust becomes one of the most essential foundations on which organisations and teams get built. But how do we build trust? Where do we begin? Who takes the first step? And how do we know when it's achieved?
To discuss this in more detail, I...

Where other's see failure, optimists see opportunity. Where others see chaos, optimists see self organisation. And where others see end, optimists see new beginnings. I came face to face with one such leader in this podcast, Jeff Stuit, the founder of Improvement School. He recently published his book "An Agilist in India", which he wrote while being stuck in a hotel room, 7000 miles away from his home, in-between a nationwide lockdown down & a hurricane; and his stories had me gripped. I consider myself an...

2020-09-2833 minEnterpriseJoyEpisode #8 - Engaging with Liberating Structures (19m)I've been a fan of the Twitter handle @MeetingBoy since many years now and one of its tweets that I've remembered forever goes something like this - If someone falls asleep during your PowerPoint presentation, you are at least partially to blame. That is true with many teams where individuals mostly engage using conventional structures like presentations and managed discussions. The problem with most of these is that the decision making is usually owned by one person while utilising a centralised mechanism to control the content. That's where Liberating Structures are different and make it possible to include everybody...

EnterpriseJoyEpisode #7 - a culture called The Lean Startup (26m)The Lean Startup, a methodology for developing products and businesses using short cycles of build-measure-learn to continuously improve. That's probably the crispiest definition one can provide but what impact does this have on products, on businesses, and more so on the culture of an organisation? A startup may embrace this methodology on day one of its conception and not even realise how its culture gets moulded by it, however more mature organisations who wish to realise the benefits of this methodology do witness a cultural change, sometimes not very successful ones. So it only seemed fair to speak with...
2020-09-1325 minEnterpriseJoyEpisode #6 - Period Leaves, Period (21m)The title of this episode is Period Leaves, Period. The second period is a full-stop, in-case you didn't get the pun. It's usually unusual for men to talk about periods, but I'm going to do it anyway. It all started with the Founder & CEO of Zomato, publishing a blog on 8th of August 2020. Zomato introduced upto 10 days of Period Leaves for women, including transgender people. And the media went berserk. There was coverage in national news papers and news channels, there were interviews and statements from Zomato officials, however what caught my attention was the eruption on social...

You're to meet the Senior Leadership in an hour to explain what went wrong and possibly point the one who should take the fall for it. You spend enough time understanding what went wrong and even identify who was responsible for it and now you're in front of the senior leadership. But when they ask who's fault it was, you take the blame on yourself. The senior leadership is...
2020-08-161h 18EnterpriseJoyEpisode #4 - Building High-performance Teams (1h, 31m)Not expecting high performance is no longer an option. In the information age, mediocrity doesn't stand a chance and this means individuals, teams, leaders, and organisations need to deliberately focus towards improving their current status quo. This would mean aligning teams to conform to their high performance standards, working together to continuously develop themselves, overcoming their dysfunctions, and managing conflicts head-on. This is what I discussed with Vinaya Murlidharan during this podcast, she is a Coach at Fiserv in Pune and leads one of their Delivery Transformation teams.

(2h, 24m)Every organisation needs agility, be it in being the market leader or trying to keep their businesses afloat during a crisis. In the year 2020, every organisation is facing a crisis, as we go through a global turmoil right now, it is sad to say that many shall not pass. It is said that we live in a VUCA world, one that's volatile, uncertain, complex, and ambiguous and it takes agility to navigate through it.

2020-07-192h 23EnterpriseJoyEpisode #2 - Motivating your Workforce (1h, 2m)The question "What motivates an individual to perform their best?" has been asked since the days of scientific management and the answer has evolved over many years. The applications of research in this area spans from the fields of education to game designing; and it's needless to say that an organisation that has motivated people has better products & services and much happier shareholders.
And to discuss this further, joining me for this podcast is Priya Kher, she is the Director of Collective Quest, a psychologist, and an executive coach who has been supporting organisations to...
