Tata Consultancy Services gifted me with the title of Master Trainer for their Chennai division who specially takes care of Initial Learning Programme (ILP). Each ILP programme concludes with a graduation day with special guests, who are top leaders of the organization. In one of the graduation days I invited TCS Leader Kenneth Jeyaselan. He is one of my role models, a good friend, guide, mentor, best coach I have come across.
Kenneth started his inspiring chief guest address to the crowd of fresh students from college; who were impatient to get their offer letters, permanent cards, and bank accounts. He sought a feedback from four candidates, covered points on future in corporate, dos and don’ts etc. Meanwhile he made a bold statement which made me stand up from the royal office chair in which I was relaxed.
Chief Guest said that “You can’t even dirty the office rest rooms because it is cleaned by my brother or my sister”. Remember Kenneth heads the India ILP programme, team of Learning & Development Chennai, had been as head for China. Why must Kenneth say that?
Notice this… the perspective of a real leader, the success of a real human being. He was showing the way forward. His perspective of giving respect to even to the ordinary people we come across will decide our altitude of life. It can alter, add and even delete our graph of phenomenal success.
Friends it’s a question that all generation from Gen X to Gen Y must answer. How much do we really give respect to others? By the way are you really respected and celebrated wherever you are right now?
Magic formula Kenneth shared was Give respect and take respect. Try this formula, the world will celebrate you.
Can this be your personal prayer and can this be your resolution for the rest of the days of your life to Give real respect everyone whom you come across?
Sure, you are a future leader.
