What were the initial challenges that taught you the basic lessons of

managing diversified functions of the organizations? Also, how did you manage to achieve the success that you had in the later phase?
Initial challenges taught me that everyone is equally important when it comes to teamwork. One needs to be updated with the latest information and never stop learning in your journey and source of learning can be anything. Also many times I came across getting the acceptance from the team whenever they are promoted and get additional responsibility while it becomes difficult to lead and get immediate acceptance when you are new to the organization. I believe the major factor to achieve success is trust. When you trust yourself others/team will automatically start trusting you. Success is a mindset and it is up to the individual whether they compete with themselves or not and only then they are successful every time or otherwise even ViratKohli is younger than me.

As a business leader what are the strategies/methods you put forward to align your organization with your vision and mission and how do you generate great value to your organization?
Strategies/methods are defining the key matrices in line with company mission and vision like quantitative indicators, qualitative indicators and people interface internally as well as externally. Ensuring that matrices are well communicated to all stakeholders including the bottom level of the team to ensure we are all aligned on what we need to deliver and generate value to the organizations and as an organization.
