Thoughts On Leadership By Prof Dr. Uday Salunkhe - Group Director Welingkar
Dr. Uday Salunkhe, WeSchool says “The core issue to be addressed is that the ‘producers of talent’ have to be in a position to meet the current & emerging requirements of ‘consumers of talent’.”
The Indian Labour Report highlights that 300 million youth will enter the work force by 2025, albeit with their own set of aspirations. B Schools have to be prescient about the emerging ecosystem and hence adopt leading positions, before the future arrives in their backyard. Mastering the EQ is a vital step in making the candidate job ready. While a high IQ enables an employee to be of value to an organisation (‘what to do’) while adequately developed EQ alone would ensure that the IQ is deployed, while answering ‘how to’, ‘why to’ and ‘why not to’ EQ development is vital for the employee to adjust better into a work context and contribute better to team work and matrix based reposting relationships. Dr. Uday Salunkhe explains “Setting up of Assessment and Development Centre and the third exemplifying a joint venture between academia and industry.” Dr. Uday Salunkhe, Welingkar Insists “Making the young MBA job ready is no longer limited to what the Faculty/Institution ‘does’/’ gives’ to the student.” Many B-schools are and have been conducting EQ focused training modules that include meditation, yoga, counselling, outbound exercise etc.
To stimulate and encourage students, B Schools need to craft appropriate self-directed learning opportunities like carefully selected projects, visits to the real world (markets, factories etc.). Many a times, the quality of the Project executed by a student can attract the attention of a potential employer, with multiple possibilities being triggered. As WeSchool believes in this philosophy, we have evolved and implemented many effective processes and systems to enhance the job readiness of our MBA students.
