Said to be the only one of its kind in the world, this leadership programme is unusual, and may appear unstructured, but has its own rigour and method. "It's voluntary. There are no expectations and no deliverables. It's about behavioural changes. In a way, it's like interacting with a counselor," says Shanmugam.
At the sessions, Shanmugam did not discuss how to improve his job profile. Instead, he asked himself deeper questions like who he was and what he would be five years down the line. "I was humbled to realise that the organisation was not as dependent on me as I thought. It was also a liberating experience, and I discussed this with Bagchi and hence the new role," he says.
Shanmugam's is among several careers, and lives, that are being manicured by Gardening. Radha R, vice-president and head-datawarehousing and business intelligence practice, has been in the IT industry for over 18 years, the last eight with MindTree.
