I was very successful with track records

3. How do you structure your work days from waking up to going to sleep?

I wake up at 4:00 morning and try to visualize the day I am going to face today. Making a schedule for the day. When I reach my office decentralize or delegate the job to the respective person within a time frame. Monitoring is a must. I always prioritize the job & activities accordingly. But my leadership style is to appreciate people and to win their hearts. I believe in creating bonding with my colleague. Celebrate every victory big or small.

4. What's a recent leadership lesson you've learned for the first time or been reminded of?

Achievers should sweat not by sun or heat, instead, they will sweat for achievements. Track records open the doors of opportunities. Dignity matters in Life.

" Maximum Achievement " by Brain Tracy where explains the talents & people are the most who show the way to success in this competitive world. His "Seven Laws of Mental Mastery" expressed in length for every success.

6. If you could only give one piece of advice to a young leader, what would you say to them?

Learn, practice develop skills with dignity. Create your future with exceptional outcomes. Be an example. Don't run after money instead run after your career, money will be followed.

7. What is one meaningful story that comes to mind from your time as a leader, so far?

Think Big. Be a great worker rather than a CEO. Prove your dignity and put a scratch on your doing. Challenges are inevitable accept them and Win the race.
