Tackling
the skill gap crisis
Based on population and economic growth, India might be among
the HR-surplus countries, and could meet global offshoring
ITeS/IT requirements, but the country has to still go a long
way to go when it comes to forging academia-industry partnerships
to create skilled professionals from this surplus.
Situational
leadership
Situational leadership (SL) is effectively the dominant theory
behind supervisory-level leadership training around the world.
Since its launch by Paul Mersey and Ken Blanchard in 1969,
it has rapidly become the de facto standard for supervisory
training programmes.
Distant
detective
If you thought that work in a call centre is mundane and boring,
think again. At Epicenter Technologies, most of the staff
playing detective over the phone. The job of a typical customer
relationship associate in this BPO outfit that specialises
in collection is to track down US-based defaulters who have
not made payments to banks, credit card companies and finance
firms.
Truth
inspires
L C Singh has an unquenchable thirst for knowledge. This goes
beyond reading the works of Satre or pondering over the writings
of contemporary philosopher and scientist David Bohm. Singh
believes in channeling their thoughts into his life and work.
For
a new project manager
Many companies are growing quickly nowadays, and they have
to manage a lean workforce. Increasingly, young people are
promoted to managerial positions without any training. Many
top executives believe that if you do a job well, you can
supervise others doing it.
