In Conversation with Sri Venkatesan Nagarajan

My leadership philosophy is centered on teamwork, empowerment, living by example, and inspiring others. I believe that effective collaboration and empowering team members are crucial for achieving our collective goals. Leading by example sets a standard for others to follow, and inspiring my team is essential for fostering motivation and dedication.

My biggest learning is to not count your chickens before they hatch. This adage has taught me the importance of patience and careful planning. Additionally, I have learned that delegation is not about getting rid of tasks; it's about empowering others to help you achieve your goals.

My advice for aspiring leaders is that knowledge is power, and thinking out of the box is key. Continual learning and innovative thinking are essential for staying ahead in our industry.

When faced with adversity, my secret weapon is teamwork, the right man for the right task, and taking calculated risks. These elements are vital for navigating challenges effectively.

I integrate sustainability into decision-making by prioritizing eco-friendly options and considering the long-term impacts in every step of our process. Ensuring that sustainability drives our choices helps us make responsible and impactful decisions.

I prioritize long-term strategy because it ensures sustainable success, but I balance it with short-term goals to stay agile and motivated.

I encourage continuous learning and professional development by fostering a culture of curiosity. I promote regular knowledge-sharing sessions, encourage discussion on successful endeavors/ideas, facilitate access to cutting-edge resources, and recognize individual growth achievements.
