STG Labs’ Post

"I set up squad leaders for several critical initiatives, such as enablement, GenC mentoring, knowledge management, development of reusable assets, interview panel drives, and Hackathon development. For each squad leader, I spelled out objectives and responsibilities to ensure that each initiative was implemented. I organized induction for a large program for all 2,000 associates in the organization. I communicated what the strategic goals were, why each of the initiatives was important, and what it is going to solve vis-à-vis the strategic goals. I asked for volunteers to be part of these initiatives; I told them that we need your help to make this happen. This was so that everybody was engaged, working collaboratively, and committed towards our common objectives."

It is not often that employees thank their leaders. Often we talk about a leader’s role to recognise their team. This is a brilliant example showcasing the impact we all have on others. And importantly understanding that the world of work now needs us to treat each other equally. And being recognised is important to all of us. #humanconnection #motivation #recognition #leadership Neil Delaney Isle Magsino Beake 👏👏👏

You know what matters the most? It's the words that your audience speaks for you. And, I got my words of appreciation collated by the topmate team. It's good to see the feedback that my audience has given and it is what MATTERS THE MOST. Your feedback shapes who we are and drives us to be better. Let's strive to become even bigger and better.

There are a few people in your lives, whose impact is hugely significant. And in my life one of them has been Manish Vyas. During his 23 years at Tech Mahindra, he shaped the company’s trajectory into making it one of the biggest GSIs in the world. One of his unique leadership styles was to spend time with each individual in his team, share stories, and thereby give some valuable nuggets of wisdom. Among many, here are the two significant ones which have stayed with me forever. 1/ Accountability: He taught me that as a Sales leader, the job is not done until it’s fully done. Most of the Sales leaders will focus on closing deals, but Manish taught me that the real job starts after closing the deal, and it continues until the project is successfully delivered, and beyond. Many years back on a long walk outside the Directv/ AT&T office, he said - “You are the CEO of the Account, and even if the Delivery team screws up, the onus will always be on you”. Since then, the way I operate and run my business has changed tremendously. 2/ Never complain: Complaining has never helped anyone. There are two kinds of people - one that always complain, and find faults with things around them, and then there are others who just learn to live beyond the choas and imperfections. The latter ones succeed in life, and always stay happy. Thank you Manish for your mentorship and for your leadership. Wishing you the very best for your future endeavors. #MomentswithMV #MVinspires P.S: this picture is from July 2018 with Ashish Julka, Brandon Beck (ex CEO and Founder, Riot Games), and Matthew Haymons (CIO, AT&T Prepaid),

With a heavy heart, I inform you that we have stopped the 'Star of the Month "award. All my team members were working extremely hard & we only awarded one person. THIS WAS WRONG!  So we did this⤵️ Instead of only 1 monthly star, we now celebrate 3 champions and grant them any wish. So, we just amped things up by revamping the recognition format to  STARs OF THE MONTH, which will include 3 top-performing team members. The categories are: 1. 1 from the team leaders 2. 1 among the Freshers / interns 3. 1 chosen among all the teammates So earlier, only seasoned folks would be awarded every month. But we realized that it demotivated the younger clan. Awarding category-wise now levels the playing field! We get to toast 3 warriors instead of just 1. Multiplied smiles! The random selection also throws in a surprise element, keeping everyone on their A-game! More prizes for more people! With this system, we can shine the light on more deserving candidates rallying hard. Plus, it encourages healthy competition across experience levels, further boosting group productivity. Let's see how this latest experiment fulfills motivation levels across my squad. #developers #business

🌟 Recognizing the Real Value of BRAVOs: Making an Impact Beyond Recognition 🌟 When I first started my professional journey, I eagerly awaited BRAVOs – those little tokens of recognition that would shine a spotlight on my hard work during performance reviews 😄. I craved more BRAVOs, thinking they would secure my place in the limelight. But as time went on⌛, I came to a profound realization: BRAVOs are not just about adding numbers to my performance review. They're about making a meaningful impact on someone's life 🚀 . So, I made a conscious shift in my approach. Instead of focusing solely on receiving BRAVOs, I began to actively send them out wherever I saw deserving work✨. Whether it was a colleague going above and beyond, a peer demonstrating exceptional teamwork, or a leader inspiring others with their leadership, I made it a point to recognize their efforts🏆. Why? Because I know firsthand the importance of feeling appreciated and valued for your contributions 💪. I understand the motivation and encouragement that comes from knowing your hard work has not gone unnoticed 👀. Now, I encourage you to join me in this endeavour 🤝. Let's make a collective effort to recognize the hard work put in by our colleagues, peers, and leaders. Whether it's through a heartfelt appreciation email or a BRAVO sent through our internal portal, let's ensure they know their efforts are seen and appreciated😊. Together, let's shift the focus from merely seeking recognition to creating a culture of appreciation and support👌. Because ultimately, it's not about the number of BRAVOs we receive, but the impact we make on each other's lives. 🌟💼 #recognition #appreciation #workculture #bravos #impactfulleadership

🌟 Thrilled and Honored! 🌟 I am incredibly excited to announce that I have been named 🏆 Employee of the Year 🏆 at our amazing company, where I have the privilege to work alongside over 500 incredibly talented individuals. Achieving this milestone wouldn't have been possible without the support of my team and the guidance of my amazing manager, Neeket Agarwal. Thank you for your unwavering support and mentorship. Here are the three key traits that I believe played a crucial role in this journey: 💡 Innovation: By taking an unconventional approach, I was able to pinpoint and address a high-risk segment, which should lead to a roughly 15% reduction in the company’s portfolio default rate within our key organic segments. 🤝 Collaboration: With the collaborative efforts of the Tech & Product Team, we implemented numerous product enhancements. Additionally, the Data Team's insights significantly boosted our overall performance. 💪 Resilience: When our initial plans didn't yield the expected results, we consistently found alternative solutions and successfully navigated through the challenges. Thank you to everyone who has been part of this journey. Let’s continue striving for excellence together! 🚀✨ Feel free to connect with me if you need any kind of help or just want to chat. Let's grow together! #Grateful #EmployeeOfTheYear #TeamSuccess #Leadership #Achievement #ProudMoment #LinkedInFamily
