What is said is as important as who says it & it is very necessary to have credibility to make your words valuable. This statement by the guest speaker at PROTON business school - Ms. Shilpa Bhandari (Director - Client Management, Infocrossing, Wipro & who is an alumnus of the PLD - Program for Leadership Development at Harvard Business School) made students take note. Ms. Bhandari was here in this Expert Guest Lecture Series (EGLS) to enlighten Protons on the topic "Global Managers".
 

The session included numerous insights for upcoming global managers like:

• Global management
• Influence of culture
• Strategic objectives etc. 

The speaker shared her experiences by providing several authentic organizational cases. For ex. - an organization is known through its culture. For being successful in long run, it is very important for an organization to have a very strong culture set. Culture influences an organization's every aspect, be it decision making, communication or moving from a vendor to a partner. It plays a major role and needs to be maintained, and it is very necessary to have a standardized culture.

The speaker also talked about the fact that a successful person is one who knows how to measure his/her efforts. It is good to be sometimes a little aggressive so that one does not get nervous in tough times. There is no escape to obstacles in business, but also tough times never last. And in today’s recessionary period, it is very necessary for every business to take it in a positive manner and keep moving.

The speaker gave an end note by explaining the importance of being optimistic in today's tough scenario. The session was winded up with a brief but stimulating Q-&-A round.
