Inspiring Oration by Vineet Nayar
Today we had annual business meet in HCL. This was the second time, I had an opportunity to hear from Vineet Nayyar, President of our company, HCL Technologies Ltd., The previous time was one year ago. We were a crowd of leads and managers gathered at St John's auditorium.
The speech given by Vineet was so much inspiring and thought provoking that it made me a fan of Vineet, so did for most of the HCLites. The talk were not completely focussed on Business strategies alone. It was personality centric too. I got a lot of points to improve myself and evolve myself to innovate.
The concept of Focus, Lead, Dominate that he introduced 1 year before, can be applicable for any industry and market. First we got to focus on our goal, try to Lead the market, and dominate in space.
If we are working in a group, say we are playing a match, say a loosing side, one should be a Transformer, so as to act as a catalyst and boost for the teams comeback and victory.
I always liked aggressive leaders like Nethaji Subash. I like Vineet's aggressive spirit too. The concept that we have to deliver more value rather than volume, holds good in any of our day to day activities, even in personal life.
The attitude of approaching a customer was explained well. When u see a customer, do not try to sell the stuff u already did, or do not show the solutions, instead speak to him understand his pain, his problem and then try to sell the cure.
Vineet encouraged that its ok to make mistakes, infact we should be courageous to do something and make mistakes, but learn from them. If something you did and it suceeded, try to analyse what unique point made the success.
For all those aspiring guys like me, Vineet's philosophy are practical, very doable, and inspiring !
