ROLE OF A CEO IN INDIA

India is known for its growing manufacture. Seeing the growth of entrepreneurship and demands for leadership, managerial practices have seen a rise. This has also seen a rising demand for CEOs with good firms. Time and again, managements principles see a rise in fitting into needs of the modern generation. Hence, CEO’s who have implemented their working patterns have a huge responsibility to shape the future of the firm.

Every CEO has a different mindset and they follow differing creative processes. Since the Indian manufacturing industry is seeing a rise, rapid growth has been able to bring about varying productivity without product compromise. However, this is subject to whether or not the company or firm is in safe hands in terms of management. Surveys and reports prove that CEOs have prominent time management skills. With the assistance of their Pas, they manage time wisely. They have also proven to be very focused in work and they sequentially plan out everyday activities. This will in-turn help in analyzing accurate results which work in favour of the company. This time to data ratio that is very important for a leader plays a major role in determining the characteristics. This also helps in formulating relevant processes and make changes in the firm, if required.

The gap between the supply in labour and style of work is very prominent at these days. CEOs follow the pattern of working efficiently by giving employees the time to wash their hands off it. They equate it with the help of mathematical solutions to get their results driven perfectly. Bridging the gap of supply and demand is an area that CEOs should ace at.

In particular, CEOs differ mainly in their schedules regarding interviews and other work-related mechanisms. This also brings out some questions with regard to employers and whether the time allotted to each work is okay or not. Some reports also prove that CEOs in our display distinct patterns of time management. One of it suggests that some leaders plan their work well in advance and engage in work with regard to growth of company, whereas others work on extempore events, unplanned activities and very minimal interaction with others. These differences draw the thin line between being productive and gaining success. This is the main reason of the fluctuating needs of labour and supply.

Working atmosphere also serves as of utmost importance as employee satisfaction is important. Infrastructure and policies can also in the long run tell us how impactful it can e in terms of profitability. Some firms that are a part of family business tend to work harder when compared to others. However, in such cases underperformance is likely to arise. The reason why this world is competitive, it mirrors an increase which would most likely give exposure to young people to take the front seat. Competition between rising firms and other already firms will be a great match to witness in the times to come.

Through many observations, variations in management style are one of the criteria behind success or failure of a firm. This makes the CEOs to analyse and think of strong ideologies to make the firm a successful venture. Hence, CEOs have a great responsibility to derive performance-based results. Time management, working atmosphere and employer-employee relationship plays a major role in making the firm a well-versed one. This is what a successful CEO would be remembered for.

Tips for GD

Group Discussions is a vital part in the MBA admission process. Even though you have scored a high score in written test, the real chances for you to get selected will depend on your performance in the Group Discussion or Personal Interview. In order to get a decent score in GD/ PI, strong preparation and vast and thorough understanding of concepts are necessary. Without having a proper knowledge on topics, one cannot crack GD very easily. Here, this article is to provide you some details on the GD topic, “Gender Inequality in the Workplace”.

Topic: Gender Inequality in the Workplaces
Overall theme	Gender inequality is one of the common things seen in Indian Working atmosphere. Women are the main victims of this.
Disproportion of number in workplaces	There are no legal barriers for women in any jobs in India. The only place where it was seen in Defence forces, which is also changing now days. Constitution prohibits gender based inequality in workplaces, which is also a fundamental right in India. Women prefer people oriented jobs (nursing, teaching, services) and men prefer things oriented (machines, construction, factory works) usually based on their biological nature of preferences. The cultural and social aspects of India create a disproportion of men and women in the workplaces. Conservative mindsets keep women away from certain jobs, which turn them as male centric ones. Gender activists argue for 1:1 ration in every job. This 1: 1 argument will lead to Equality in opportunity vs. that in Outcome, which is considered as an impossible one. Even though opportunities are provided equally, cultural, social and biological variations will make disproportion of numbers in the workplaces. (example- Scandivian countries, with gender equality is ideal than with us)
Gender equality in childbirth and parenting	Main influencing matter is childbirth and parenting Child birth forces women to take maternity leave for at least two months, in almost all jobs. Usually Indian culture forced women to take care of the children, which made them to resign from job after the birth of a baby. Now a day the society also accepts paternity leaves, and understands father’s responsibilities in parenting. Many companies also offer paternity leave and allowances for fathers also, to take care on the child along with the mothers.
Malpractices towards women	No law supports malpractices against women in workplaces, in India. The misbehaving approaches towards women are a drawback of our social and cultural negatives, which consider women as secondary people in the society. Judiciary and constitution of India offer full support for women, who come before, after facing such issues at their workplaces.
Other remarks (conclusion)	Gender inequality is very less in Indian workplaces, now days. Discriminating women or others on gender basis is illegal and punishable, according to Indian Constitution. However, some jobs may face gender disparities in number, just because of the social and cultural mindsets of the Indian Society.
