TRANSFORMATIVE LEADERSHIP JOURNEY: REFLECTING ON HELLA LEAD COMPASS 23/24 🌐 From initial skepticism to forging friendships with around 50 colleagues from diverse European & Indian Hella locations, it's been a transformative experience. We delved into topics like vision, change processes, cross-cultural communication, and strategic decision-making, emerging stronger together. Discussing varied perspectives and the opportunity to speak about "Leading through change" with board members, was enriching and inspiring. At the end of the event, I take away valuable lessons: 1. Listen with your ears, your eyes and your heart! 2. Be the change you seek! 3. Communicate your vision of change passionately. 4. There is no way to happiness, happiness is the way! 5. Big "D"ecisions start with small "d"ecisions. 6. Give people time to embrace change. 7. Strategy + Emotion / Intuition leads to optimal results! ...just to mention some of the wisdoms. I am grateful for this incredible journey, appreciative environment and enriching conversations!

How to create an animated video in 48 hours? One of our best clients - Alcon, had an event to showcase the brilliant work they were doing in India. The challenge was to show all these milestones in the most visually engaging way possible. Here's the brief:  - Showcase the milestones AGS India has had.  - Make sure team culture and initiatives are covered well  - Should look very visually appealing  - Should have some reference to Beyonce - it was a theme Here's the twist:  - The brief was changed 1 day before the presentation as their time got cut into half. Matar took on the challenge and re-wrote, re-designed and re-animated the entire video from scratch. This means 48 hours of coffee, redbull and focus to make sure we get this right. End result?  Cheers, hoots and claps for one of the best presentations they saw at Alcon's leadership.

Mentorship has been a significant part of my career growth. When I joined KEYENCE INDIA PVT. LTD. In 2013, I was only an individual with 1 year of training who came after his MBA. I was not a disciplined person, not good at team management, or an expert in sales. I was simply a fast learner who was hungry to gain knowledge. My seniors and mentors guided me throughout since Day 1. At the same time, I unlearned and learned things consistently. After 13 years of learning, now, I have become the youngest regional manager at the same firm. So, I wanted to make mentorship a tradition at Keyence India Pvt Ltd and I did. Now, several junior employees who want to grow their careers faster, become leaders in future or are hungry for more experiences, get direct mentorship sessions from the leadership team. It has been a key to transformation not only for the career growth of employees but also shaped an excellent company culture. I really appreciate the enthusiasm of mentors and mentees to keep the exchange of knowledge going on. Do you see mentorship as a path to an excellent career? What do you add? #career #growth #transformation #leadership #people

Milestone Anniversaries**: A Catalyst for Change! Samsung’s CEO once said ahead of their 50th anniversary. "Change everything except your partner and kids." As a backdrop for pivotal organizational change, milestone anniversaries can spark big initiatives and anchor signature events to propel change. While transformation can occur anytime, linking it to an anniversary amplifies your narrative. Anniversaries add positivity and can help diffuse negative reactions by tying the change to your history, vision, and values. If your organization is coming upon a milestone, give us a call! These are conversation and questions we love to have. https://lnkd.in/eYZ7auh #Leadership #BusinessStrategy #OrganizationalChange #MilestoneAnniversary

I've witnessed first hand the incredible talent and potential of women in leadership. Yet, the path to the top comes with its own set of challenges. Here at ArcelorMittal Nippon Steel India, we believe in empowering women leaders. We conduct sessions where senior women leaders like myself share our professional and personal journeys. These stories inspire and motivate younger women colleagues to stay on course and navigate the challenges of managing professional and personal commitments, especially during the early and mid phases of their careers. Amidst this, here are my 2 cents for women aspiring for corporate success: 1. Define Your "Why": Identify what ignites your passion. Understanding your "why" will fuel your determination and guide your decisions. 2. Own Your Expertise: Don't shy away from showcasing your skills and accomplishments. Become comfortable articulating your value and the impact you bring. 3. Embrace Continuous Learning: The world of business is ever-evolving. Commit to lifelong learning, whether through professional development courses, industry conferences, or mentoring opportunities. 4. Build Your Network: Actively network both internally and externally, build relationships with mentors, sponsors, and peers who can support your growth. 5. Advocate for Yourself: Don't wait for opportunities to come your way. Seek out challenging projects, volunteer for leadership roles, and confidently express your interest in career advancements. Remember, ladies, you are capable, brilliant, and deserve a seat at the table. If you or someone you know is looking for support on their career path, feel free to reach out to me for a one-on-one conversation. Let's continue to break down barriers and inspire each other to achieve the stars! #careertips #womenempowerment #success #careerpath
