Week 4 @ ISB

This week was pretty much one for lazying around .. Though whenever some of the mid-tem marks were uploaded on blackboard I pledged to study more this week..

I continued to stay late till night (exception: - yesterday when i crashed at 10 ; thats y this post early in the morning) rather early morning but could not study (my trademark) ... but thats ok ... i m having fun..

We presented RnH case study on monday stats quiz on tuesday and faced boring lectures monday thru thursday...

Sat this week had a slot booked for 4 hrs .. It was called Leadership Development Program (LDP) .. though it could have been shorter (by atleast 50%) i thoroughly enjoyed it and made sure my group enjoyed too ... My signature style :-)

LDP was abt having 360 degree feedback from my seniors , peers , juniors and best friends and they sure gave me a shock by rating me decently... some weaknesses which they pointed out were surprises too ...
The session started with the prof defining Feedack , strength , weaknesses , 360 degree etc and then the group was set loose to tear apart each others strengths and weaknesses to come up with a) group strength b) group weaknesses and an action plan to overcome these..

Then came realizing core incompetencies and I had no difficulty choosing carelessness at the top for me to address... Infact a few wrote this as my numero uno weakness. Exact words follow " His careless behaviour which he says is COOL , should be avoided". I liked the honesty my raters showed... Thanks a ton to them ( Tarun Sir , Naveen Sir , Jai , Krishna , Deepak , Pavan , Lokendra and Pramod )...

Then came the fun part, the room was chaotic and we were told to write down first suggestion anyone suggests to improves your weaknesses... That sure was fun with people coming with brilliant ideas...

Before we wrapped up LDP the prof explained difference b/w assertive and aggressive.. Assertive is controlled , flexible and rational with Aggressive being the diametrically opposite ...

In a week we have our end terms and I have lot to study so I am off now..

P.S> ISB Rocks... We have a theatrical screening of IPL final with drinks , food etc and it sure promises to be a lot of fun tonight...
