It is not often that we come
across people who not only impress us but also inspire us. It is then no wonder
that, it was with awe that students at FORE School of Management welcomed Mr.
Kamal Singh, the Director at the Centre for Management Development & New
Initiative MAST-AIMA.
Visiting FORE as a part of the “anubhuti”
session conducted by the Corporate Interaction Division of the institute on
July 24, 2012 ; Mr. Singh is the recipient of several accolades and
awards, and was recently awarded the
‘Indian Achiever’s Award’ by Indian Achievers Forum. Responsible for having launched various
events, including the recently launched initiative Management Aptitude Test
Skill Test (MAST), it was no wonder that the session that he conducted was not
only educational but also highly interactive.
Giving it a simple and
straightforward start, Mr. Singh involved the audience right from the begining.
Constantly encouraging and supporting the enthusiastic students, who were all
vying to answer, he managed to give attention to one and all. Starting with a
simple question wherein he asked the students to cite the emerging changes in
global business world, he effectively incorporated the answers of the students
to highlight the changes happening in the business world.
Citing relevant reasons such as demographic
dividends, innovation and liberalization, increases in expectancy level etc., he
chose relevant examples to help the students relate better. Perhaps the
greatest learning that he imparted was how every individual could be an
effective future manager not only at the national level but also at the global
level. Stressing upon the importance of qualities like creativity, passion, efficiency,
flexibility etc., he chose specific examples like that of Indra Nooyi, IPL, and
Bharti-Airtel etc, which motivated the audience. In addition to this, a very
pertinent question at this time, the importance of ethics was also stressed
upon by him. His delight when nearly ninety percent of the audience regarded
ethics as an important tool was obvious.
It was thus, not advice but experience that students took away from the
session.
The true highlight of the event was however
the expert manner in which Mr. Singh handled students’ queries and doubts. He
ended the evening on a high note, leaving students to ponder over how they
could be visionaries in the coming future. It is perhaps then an understatement
to say that every student felt privileged to have attended the session.
