answer be obvious? The triggers that motivate people to achieve are unique for everyone.

hot topic and the more we can discuss it, we can help one another become better leaders.

Like a boss
Personally, even after 8 years of having started to manage a team, I’m still coming to
terms with it. And I’m always a “work-in-progress”.
How was the learning curve?
It started with forcing myself to not do it on my own, but getting it done. Then came
the stage of giving productive feedback. Around the same time came the stage of training myself to think quickly, so that I can
put my expectations on the table as quickly as possible. Along with that also came the need for lightning fast decision making.
These days, I’m working on how to stay calm when someone is not performing or delivering up to the mark. Yes, the cane is
as important as the carrot, but overuse either and you’ll see your team’s performance starting to drop.
But the second most important part of my learning curve of being a boss is probably, ‘Delegate and Follow up’. A
management trick I learnt from an old time mentor of mine, Ashwani Singla of Penn-Shoen-Berland Research. He probably
doesn’t know, but he is my mentor in many ways. I have never really got a chance of telling him this though.
Which brings me to the most important part of a learning curve – Pick a good mentor and learn!
3 top ways of motivating team mates:
Clarity of their responsibility
Appreciate them for a good job done, always! But never shy away from telling them when they were not up to the mark. By
not telling them, you are only getting in the way of their growth.
Not everyone is as ambitious as you are. So, if they are not dreamers, dream their dreams for them. Then communicate
that dream to them, and guide them on to achieve it.

Feeling as a first time Boss: It’s a great feeling but being an Entrepreneur and
leading the entire Start-up comes with a lot of responsibility. It’s your energy and
tenacity which will define the performance of your team and company. My only
suggestion is shed your ego, don’t have a chip on your shoulder; more than a Boss
you need to be a leader and be ready to be even a delivery or courier boy if your
company demands it.

How was the learning curve?
For me personally, it has been a FUN journey; my last 6 months learning has been
more like getting back to school and college and rediscovering the basics. I feel I am still in the learning curve because a
Start-up teaches you every day. On one hand it teaches you to crack a deal with a CEO and on other you might need to
identify the best and economical printer in the city for your company.

Show Impact of team members’ work on organisation’s growth

Self improvement, career growth of team mates – such as by doing this project, how their own skills will be augmented and
how they can improve their technical abilities or personality.

‘30-40% of corporate India suffer from stress
related disorders’
G P Chandra Kumar, Chairman and CEO, SkillSonics
Feeling as a first-time boss: I felt responsible and excited about it and was eager to
know the team that I would work with. The challenge was to balance the management
needs and team capabilities and make sure the team was comfortable with me. Also, I
wanted to ensure that the team members felt that they could rely on me at any given
point.
How was the learning curve?
Playing the role of the boss was easy, however focusing on the team’s strength while
mitigating their weaknesses took some time. Also, it took time to accept people as
they are. Along the way, I also learnt to accept other people’s strengths and utilise them for achieving team goals. I realised
that representing your team to top management needs a lot of confidence in one’s role.
3 top ways of motivating team mates

Manoj Gupta, Co- Founder, Craftsvilla
Feeling as a first-time boss: Being a first time boss is like riding your first car
without your parents around you. It’s thrilling, fun, gives you a sense of power and a
certain level of freedom. For the first time you feel you have certain control over
destiny and actions and you can guide your karma into doing something very fruitful
and satisfying to yourself.
How was the learning curve?
Learning curve is usually steep since as a boss you cannot learn slowly as the impact
on the business and employee can be drastic. Few of the learnings involve around
managing employees/subordinates in a way it does not destroy the work culture or the productivity. Other learnings involve
taking decisions alone which may be risky but are required either for quantum changes in the organisation or higher rewards.
Quick decision making, employee morale boosting and employee retention techniques and ability to influence your key
customers/vendors are some other learnings.

Feeling as a first-time boss: A great deal of responsibility; realisation of the fact that
having the right people in the right roles can make all the difference.
How was the learning curve?
You learn from each employee and each situation. As ultimately the decision comes
down to you, you need to be careful in reacting.

Feeling as a first time Boss: For me it wasn’t much different as my previous Boss
had empowered me to take most of the decisions. However, acceptance from my
colleagues and associates took a little time.
The Learning Curve: Learning has been a continuous process for me as I was put
across various functions at different points in my career. However, I was patient to
listen and learn right from the floor shop to the management and the even today I
continue to do so and challenge every process to better the same.

‘My first day as boss’
“My first day as a boss was unlike any other day. As soon as I was introduced as the
HR Director, I decided that this was the day that I would completely stay out of my
allotted cabin and instead, connect with the employees within the team as well as
other teams – be it in the form of one-on-one interactions or just over coffee. This was
my way of ensuring an open-door policy with my colleagues and peers”
Nikhil Rungta, Chief Business Officer, Yebhi.com
“On my first day as a boss, I remember asking my team to think about 3 things:”
1. What are three things in marketing that they think we should be doing more of?
(favorite programs, activations, untapped opportunities, etc)
2. What are three things in marketing that they think we should be doing less of? (not
focused or effective, etc)
3. What are their three favorite things about working here?
Priscilla Nithyanandan, Associate Manager, Technical Publications, EMC
Corporation
Feeling of a first-time boss: Exhilaration and sense of fulfillment; Excitement to take
on the new challenge to be THE BEST manager on the block!
How was the learning curve?
I had a slow start… but with effective and progressive mentoring that was offered to
me, there has been a steep increase in my learning.
