All of us know that managers need a combination of hard skills and soft skills to win in the marketplace. How is 2023 different? Yes, we have a different kettle of fish. We have come out of a pandemic that reminded us to be more human than ever before and value the contribution one can […]

Growth is great for everybody. How does it take place? As the adage goes, “Great works are performed not by strength but by perseverance”. Every leader has certain habits; what a leader does every day and doesn’t do as a matter of habit determines the contours of the path the unit traverses. Personal leanings Each […]

A study undertaken by Professors at Harvard Business School in 2020 revealed that the ESG (environmental, social and governance) funds and the companies with a greater commitment to ESG outperformed the markets when Covid19 shook the world. The millennials and Gen Z are more vocal and concerned about the actions companies and senior leaders take […]

We have heard of the famous quote, “Culture eats strategy for breakfast.” We understand culture is the way the collective leadership of an organisation thinks, acts and interacts with the stakeholders.

Telecommuting or remote work was a mere topic of discussion prior to the pandemic. Times changed and the world of work underwent a massive change at a rapid pace.

Businesses have no option but to grow if they want to stay relevant for the long term. J C Penney has famously said, “No company can afford to not move forward. It may be on the top of the heap today, but it will be at the bottom of the heap tomorrow if it doesn’t.” […]

Companies are ambitious to grow: they grow their market presence and capacity to bring in more revenues and profits; grow their stakeholder experiences. At the same time, some of them look for other companies in the market having a synergy with their operations to either merge with them or acquire them. This route to get […]

  Someone said, “Be quick, but don’t hurry.” It’s time that we remind ourselves of this adage. We are a recruitment company; every day we speak to jobseekers – active as well as passive ones. We have been noticing a consistent fall in patience and accommodative stance among people when the workplace environment isn’t up […]

We are a recruiting and staffing services company helping organisations find the right talent. We come across several opportunities every week, but our service architecture does not fit most of these situations.
