Boss! Are You There??




This is a two-day workshop based on the Best Seller, ‘First Break All The Rules’ by Marcus Buckingham. Most of you know that the book is an account of 25 years of research by The Gallup Organisation, which interviewed 80,000 managers across the globe working with different verticals and also different domains. The book was written after the compilation of the report by Gallup. This book has sent ripples in the thought processes of managers.
This module has been conceived, designed and facilitated by Mr Dhruva Trivedy, who has had more than two decades of training interface with different verticals in India and abroad. The title of the workshop had been rechristened to bring it closer to the hearts of working managers, who would be able to identify themselves with real-life situations.
This workshop is perhaps the first of its kind.

It enables our corporate managers with a contemporary precept that improves productivity, reduces attrition and helps to come out of conventional thinking that does not work in the existing scenario. Also to assist in bringing about clarity in building capabilities that not only sustain but help to have an edge in the prevailing competition.

The photographs and the comments uploaded here are from the workshop that was recently conducted for Suzlon Energy Limited, who have embarked on a Gallup Study in the recent past and thought that this workshop would be a useful induction for their senior and middle level managers.
