Indore: A good leader should always be a servant-leader, adaptive and creative thinker, and a global communicator, said Indian Institute of Management Indore Director Prof Himanshu Rai. Talking about effective leadership at the inaugural function of three-day conference on excellence in research and education at IIM Indore, Rai said a good leader is the one who uses his heart, mind and intellect together for taking decisions. The three-day conference is being organised on the theme titled – “Inclusion, Institution and Innovation”.
Discussing about the BE-KNOW-DO Framework, Rai said, “The leader should know self and always be keen and look forward to self-improvement, along with willingness to know the people he or she is with and help them achieve their potential. One should aim to know the profession he or she is working in, and should contribute to it and develop with it.” He stressed on having a clear and actionable vision, making timely decisions and maintaining a balance and moderation. The objective of IIM Indore is to create, contribute and connect with the research and researchers across the world, said conference coordinator Prof Sushanta K Mishra.
The conference would witness a guest talk, three workshops and 188 paper presentations from the participants and research scholars from India and abroad. The conference received 415 papers from scholars across the nation and abroad and 188 were shortlisted for the presentation.
