uh you know I joined uh akpk uh 2014 uh
uh April first April and then I took
over the COO function in October October
2014 because it was I was a Cod senate
for 6 months that was a requirement by
the board at the point time to have
study for 6 months so after that you
know I realized that this organization
has a lot of potential there's a lot of
potentialization that you know that's a
lot of learning opportunities and you
know in terms of personal growth
learning opportunity that's abundant and
the things that we want to do is just so
much that we can do so that you know
that's the reason why why you know I
stay until now you know so so I mean the
journey so far has been fulfilling you
know uh years after years it's not the
same every year we have got new things
to do and so on I remember you know when
during my days in the banks and so on I
used to to one of my CEO told tell me
this you know he said to me you know
this chair you know he's talking about
that position this chair said this chair
you know you're sitting on it is up to
you whether to make the chair big or
small you know the chair doesn't
determine you know the death
Effectiveness or the importance of the
position it is you who determin it so
likewise you know when I when I came
here I saw the opportunities and so on
it is how you approach it you know how
you you look into things how you you you
try to Cease the moment cease the
opportunity and what not and how how to
try to to to uh make full use of
opportunities you know so that you can
prosper and make a real sense and real
benefit to to to the all the things and
so on
yeah I know what targets can do to
people you know what challenges in uh uh
KP I can do to people so it's a matter
of how do you you know uh arrange all
those you know arrange ERS so when I
came to akpk I I I saw there's a vacuum
in that sense that the way we look into
things and whatnot firstly is uh we look
into think uh we think that our job is
to serve people and and whenever there
are people comes in we have them you
know think things but we have to put in
a different perspective uh that's why we
talk about we have to bring into uh the
the issue of purpose and meaning and we
then we talk about values and culture
and so we need to change the perspective
of people when you talk about uh I'm
here to serve people but what what does
that mean you know what does that mean
we must make our people believe that
what they do is very important and it is
a life-changing thing and what they do
is more important than their work itself
you know it has a far-reaching
implication towards life you know
towards even beyond beyond life so they
must be thought that way then only you
can see that organization will be
transforming into a
different uh what do you call way you
know into a different trajectory that
sense then so that was when I came I saw
that you know I saw that we are such a
Noble in a noble uh what they call thing
that we do with helping people and what
not but unless and until we really push
it in the way that it should be done
then it will become Lord vessel if not
it will just be Bas it will just be
normal you know so targets are just
guidance you know because you don't set
Tigers people will not be be be
pressured and they will not push towards
achieving better things we have seen
over the years you know when we set
targets we we do challenging things yet
people will achieve year after year why
is that so is because you know you you
have to provide that kind of thinking
that kind of confidence level that they
can do it you know that they can do more
of time time that's why I talk about you
know thinking big exponential thinking
and what not because once you you have
that then they will go for it if you set
1,000 it's okay if they don't me 1,000
but at least they will meet 500 yeah but
if you don't set that Target you say
they will just do 50 yeah so this is uh
the mentality of how things are but to
put it together it has to be on the
purpose and meaning so once they
understand the purpose of meaning the
implications the impact of what they do
then you know they they will view their
work differently they will just not say
that this is just a work for me but this
is something very important because it's
create different meaning to my job and
then how do you gel it together is by
creating good culture you know creating
values through it and people in the
organization will work in that
particular culture is just a way of
doing things how do people do it's
called culture how how do things get
done here that's a culture so in order
for you to get things done
compassionately so you have to build
culture that value compassion yeah that
value nobility and what not so that's
where we come up with the culture you
know we come up with the you know
nobility is our pride and all sort
things so that move us you know from
normal Organization for just pursuing
numbers because if you talk about
numbers Banks also give numbers any
organization give numbers but we talk
about numbers
insulating by insulate by values and
culture and with a purpose and meaning
that makes a difference
yeah leadership need is about about
serving others and it's not about
yourself leadership is about providing
guidance you know providing uh uh a way
uh gu guidance and also coaching to
people around you it's about people
around you how do you bring the best out
in the people out you if you're able to
do that then you're a good leader you
know if you're are not then you are just
managing things you just managing
targets and what not but essentially uh
being a leader is the ability to bring
out the best in people so that it is
they who want to do things you know
without you asking them they say I want
to do it you know because they they feel
they they think that they can do it they
enjoy doing and so on because
leadership is that it is a journey it's
a joury it's not a one day thing you
don't say a leader I come here I become
a leader that it people follow me no it
doesn't work that day people look at you
people see how you do things you know
people look people can feel your
sincerity it is it is that you know it's
not one day you come in and people say
well he's a good no
it's a journey you build followers over
time you know you build followers
because people believe in you people
want to be with you they know that they
trust you that's what leadership is all
about they want to do things because
they have confidence they know you are
always behind you you know they you will
always be behind them you know they they
know you a place where they can turn to
you know so this is about my humble
beginnings you know in the in the family
of educator
you know I believe in that because I
believe as a leader our job is to coach
and lead and teach people yeah so how do
you do that you know without the the
knowledge and without the compassion in
you that you want to see real people
benefit you know out of your your your
leadership and what not so unless you
have that because if you don't you don't
assimilate that value in you to want to
see that people benefit and value and
become better you will just be
manipulating people you know you
manipulate just to give results as not g
you know things get done kpi is is is
achap you don't you know it doesn't
matter to you but if you real leader you
want to see that this guy improve this
guy become better and if this guy leave
you know go to an organization he will
bring you know a good name of
where he comes from yeah
