How leaders bloom at Mindtree

December 24, 2008

The third session deals with, "Where do we go from here?" Together, the Gardener and the Plant may decide that the latter needs more EQ, or more analytical skills, or a special project (sometimes, it is just a field visit) to enhance his self-awareness.

The fourth and final session becomes a platform for other engagements. "These four sessions, and the subsequent engagements, help me build a leadership of one," says Bagchi.

Why only the top 100?

"Growth in any company is generally about the top 100 managers," reasons Bagchi. The sessions have no readymade script, and the top 100 are not necessarily the best 100, says Bagchi with a wry smile. "I do hope that the top 100 do have some of our best people, though. Otherwise, we have a problem right there." Bagchi would engage with the top 100 and touch at least half of them in the first year. The hope is that this would make them engage differently with their own people. "When people look at themselves in new light, it is the organisation seeing itself in new light," he says.
