The Great Leader of RATAN TATA



Ratan Tata - Wikipedia

Ratan Tata is not only an inspiration to the aspiring businessmen but also to a lot of youngsters only because he never fails to evolve. During the tough times of pandemic, several established organisations were hit badly but the stability of Ratan Tata and his companies did not fail in maintaining the faith of their stakeholders. And when we heard Ratan Tata talk about ideologies a business should work on, it clarified the solidity behind their consistent growth. We can call them the ‘Golden rules of Leadership’ that would help the leaders to fight the post covid-19 situation at the workplace.

To stay relevant, stay connected to the youngsters

The energy youngsters exude is infectious and can easily rub off on you which eventually helps you in growing younger than older. Ratan Tata shared, “I have always enjoyed the company of spirited and enthusiastic youth of the country. Their energy is truly infectious, and they make me feel like I haven’t aged at all.” The best part about staying connected to the younger stakeholders at work is that you know the pulse of youth today which makes for meaty stakeholders for any business.

Stay united

While you expect your employees to stick around in tough times of the company, you should also aim at giving them strong support in their dip moments. As an organisation, we must stand together to fight it out as one and this will instigate us in delivering great results. Ratan Tata backed this philosophy and addressed the leaders, “We can all unite and we need to unite to find solutions and put an end to this crisis.”

Be available for your employees

Tata is one of the most employee-friendly companies in India and no doubt about that because Ratan Tata believes in the policy of being answerable to the employees as well. He shared, “As a business leader, you have to face your shareholders. And then, there are the people who have to deliver the goods and work for you, you need to be there for them as well.”

Create empathy

If your employees are as concerned about the workplace as they are for their home, it will lead to an empathetic relationship which eventually translates into better results, productivity and profits. So work toward builidng empathy and making it a comfortable enviornment for your employees.

Laying off is not a solution

The lockdown led to several people losing their jobs. Despite the prime minister requesting businesses to not lay off people, most or the organisations laid off employees in big numbers. Ratan Tata believed in sticking to his people. He asked leaders, “Is laying off people going to solve the problem ? It won’t” and suggested to believe in their people in these tough times. He added, “Companies need to react in the right way for the people who serve & work with them.”

Remote Working: Mitigating Risks, Improving Productivity

  Business as usual for organizations the world over has been marred by these extraordinary times. An unprecedented crisis, the COVID-19 pandemic has divided our timeline into pre and post COVID eras.  Some of the business practices that have been prevalent until now may cease to exist or get an upgrade in the post COVID times. Business Continuity Planning: A Change in Approach Ever since 9/11, business continuity planning (BCP) has been an integral part of businesses across industries, especially in the banking and financial services sector. Split or multi-site processing, hot-warm-cold sites, work transfer, and staff transfer were some of the recovery strategies put in place to handle exigencies on ‘off’ days.  Although tested periodically for operational effectiveness, these strategies could not replicate the surprise – in fact, shock – element of real-world contingencies. After having delivered effective results for more than a decade, some events of significant propo...

Preserving Banks' Credit Portfolio amid the COVID-19 Crisis

  Historically, there have been many black swan events across the globe, such as the dot-com bubble, the bird flu outbreak, the 2008-09 financial crisis, and so on, with wide-ranging economic impacts.  The COVID-19 pandemic is the latest such phenomenon to have engulfed the entire world, resulting in a worldwide health crisis and bringing the global economy to a near standstill.  As of this writing, the WTO has estimated that global trade could plunge by a third. Just like its peers, the financial services industry is grappling with severe challenges posed by the COVID-19 crisis.  Banks’ lending business has been heavily disrupted, and their risk function is being tested to the hilt. In the near term, we expect an upsurge in loan defaults because of which there will be a spike in non-performing assets.  Decrease in collateral values will trigger a call for new margins. Defaults and downfall in business will force credit rating agencies to downgrade customer rati...
