What is your philosophy of leadership? How would you describe your leadership style?

“Consistency has always been the key to effective leadership”

Everyone has a personal and unique leadership style because if you lead on the basis of someone else’s philosophy, you’ll be less effective. I always make decisions based on core Hods, perspectives, and values. I don’t want to be inconsistent because it will reflect on my student’s and institution’s genuine beliefs and values. I try to prove myself as an excellent teacher and as one of the best of all my staff. I always set high standards of discipline, commitment, and involvement in work patterns. I try to inspire all my colleagues towards the achievement of the goals of the organization and lead them from the forefront. I always work with the staff at the ground level to understand the problems and concerns of all the colleagues and take care of their requirements.

Any suggestions you would like to give to the current youth and the aspiring students?

“Focus on self-awareness and self-presentation”

Employability is all about positive self-belief in pursuit of new challenges that lead you to a life-long learning experience. Education plays a pivotal role in an individual's life when it comes to being employable as it gives them the ability to understand the situation and make a better choice. The majority of graduates in India lack the desired skills or expertise. There exists a wide gap between the skills of fresh graduates and the needs of organizations. Candidates always stress academic credentials, aptitude, communication, and interpersonal skills but the employer also looks for the X-factor, zeal for learning, positive attitude, commitment, and understanding of upcoming challenges. They need to become an explorer and sharpen their skills, and always keep a goal driven life.
