Janus Speaks

Inspired to inspire....

As a part of its continuous endeavour to provide the students the opportunity to interact with the leaders in industry, FMS invited Dr Ganesh Natarajan and Ms Manjari Gokhale for a guest lecture on Inspirational Leadership. The guest lecture was organized at FMS South Campus by MBA (MS) students. Dr Ganesh Natarajan, Deputy Chairman and managing Director of Zensar Technologies Limited needs no introduction. Ms Manjari Gokhale heads Human resource function at Zensar.

Dr Ganesh contrary to expectation did not come with any power point presentation which has become synonymous with IT. A great speaker that he is, he kept the audience captive as he spoke about the various facets of Inspirational Leadership. The interactive session covered on how India went on to become the IT superpower and who were the leaders who foresee this IT revolution much ahead of its time. The insight provided by Dr Ganesh, being a part of IT industry from 1988 when it was still in infancy in India, was quite valuable.

Ms Manjari took on from here and went on to explain 10 qualities which are desired in an individual to be and remain inspired. Ms Manjari has done considerable research on the topic, as a part of co-authoring the book titled 'Inspired' with Dr Ganesh. We were also given a brief preview of the book which has case studies of 23 individuals from different realms of life.

Dr Ganesh laced with his characteristic humour and the no non sense style of Ms Manjari was appreciated delivered the talk effectively. We do hope that this talk has inspired us enough to be the future leaders in the organizations of tomorrow.
