Impediments
For my team, I end up with
resolving most of the
impediments again and again?

first time together
with a team member
Share it with team,
how did you do it

your team member
resolve it
Advantages of exercising this
way of impediment resolution?
Be Observant
Inclusiveness
Most Famous Discrimination?
A Bank’s Culture Vs Other Organizations
Perm/Contractor Discrimination =
Important people – (Vision + Goal +
Belongingness)
Inclusiveness
Irrespective of our professional background,
cultural background, race, religion, country,
color, permanent or contractor, when we work for
a team, we work for a common goal, sharing
same values and principles, mind it.
Beyond Organization
Help in creating platforms for learning
Share your knowledge and experience, wherever you can

Behavioral model in
correct order
Everyone is
favorite, no one is
favorite

organization
Reference: 1970 Edition of “The Servant as Leader” by Robert K. Greenleaf
Serving (and leading) is not popular, because
it is exacting and hard to attain. But it is highly rewarding
and fulfilling when it is done well

before yourself
Working agreements/ working alignments : Don’t let
any team live without them
Be observant and keep an eye on body language of your
people
