#ALUMINI TALKS #MERIANS TALKS "Opportunities don't happen. You create them. -Chris Grosser Everybody get the chance to go ahead and taste the success But There are few who recognize it and create the opportunity for themselves. MERIANS have always learned to create the opportunity and Stand out in this competitive world. NIDHI KUKREJA MBA BATCH(2017-2019) expresses her learnings in a beautiful way...... "Being a MERIAN was far more Brilliant than I could ever thought of. I encountered such things which were unknowingly nurturing me up for the Professional world. I would love to share my lessons 1. Be an avid reader, know what's going around in the world apart from the tech world coz apparently no one wanted a geek. 2. Learning fundamentals with a twist which include games and live projects and help to have hand on experience. 3. The core element or heart of college is the faculty who helped me in enhancing my skillset and overall personality and I was really lucky that I got the chance to do internship with one of the big 4 Firms Ernst & Young (EY) Undoubtedly it was the belief of my mentors that I was to able to get that opportunity. 4. Performed self introspection to identify my strengths and weaknesses. I like learning new stuff and this strength has helped me change gears in the professional world. Loved being part of corporate, non profit and even freelancing. 5. Be self reliant, adamant to give up easily and stay focused on my goal."

MERI MIC I believe Life gives us ample chances to explore, to dream unreal and to be acquainted with our unrevealed and disparate personality. It all depends on our perspective of recognizing those chances and grabbing the opportunities for making the dormant thoughts, ideas, talents and forces alive to become a greater person by far. I genuinely agree with the fact that centre of learning i.e. college plays a prominent role in nurturing up the personality of an individual. I consider myself fortunate for enrolling myself in such an Institution where our thoughts and dreams are valued before anything else. I never knew that I will gain management wisdom like no one else. MERI college has brought forth a precious gift of transforming dreams into reality by launching MERI COMMUNICATIONS, INFORMATION & MEDIA CELL (MERI MIC) A student media body and the youngest club of the institute responsible for handling PR activities of the college. It caters to the three major domains of the institute including Public Relations , Newsletter, Media Microsite on website and social media pages. When you are optimistic it’s always opportunity and when it’s opportunity just get down into the nitty gritty of every way possible to grab it. MERI MIC is such an opportunity which actually teaches us to peep in ourself and get accustomed to our unrevealed personality. MERI MIC organized many events since it’s launch. To count on some of them were MERI kavya Samvad Shrinkhala, Finance Seminar, Holi Mahotsav and many more. I feel immense pleasure to be a part of Media Cell. I never imagined that we will develop our skills unknowingly by performing the activities of Media cell. We applied Management principles for organizing the events, We are enhancing our Interpersonal and communication skills by taking bytes of every member involved in the event. We are developing our soft skills which is the need of the hour in such an interesting way like decision making skills , creativity and critical thinking. If learning is this fascinating who doesn’t want to learn and grow as a self-motivated person.

“Ninety percent of leadership is the ability to communicate something people want” - Dianne Feinstein (U.S. Senator).
The power of words is greatest of all. The supreme power of a protagonist depends upon her communication skills. In the great Mahabharata, all Krishna lessons to Arjun were nothing but the virtue of words and the lessons were conveyed effectively. The INDIAN soil has always given many such leaders like Swami Vivekananda who had the art of utilizing the power of words. It is a name that inspires admiration and awe around the globe. This name has always influenced the greatest scientists like Nikol Tesla, visionaries like J.R.D Tata, PM Narendra Modi and the youth to several top leaders in the world. When he delivered a speech in Chicago in the parliament of religions in 1891, the world took notice of his message of kinship. Mahatma Gandhi, Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel, Subhash Chandra Bose, etc. are all such great examples that our history is enriched with.
What is common in these personalities? What traits do they share? Is their leadership style common or indifferent? No matter they practice a different leadership style, different communication style, different persona, different habits, etc. but what they have in common is the art of playing with words. They inspire people with what they speak and how they speak. It is simply the art of connecting with people. It is the G......loquent style.
One characteristic of the great transformational leaders is the ability to inspire. They just don’t know how to bore and snore. Perhaps it’s because they know how to appeal to your why. But wait a moment, do you know what is transformational leadership?
Transformational leadership is a theory of leadership where a leader pushes its team for embracing the change by motivating them, allowing them to set their goals and fulfill them on their own. There have been many transformational leaders' world has seen like Alexander the Great, Aristotle, Henry Ford, Adolf Hitler, Steve Jobs, etc.
The late Bernard Bass, a professor in the School of Management at Binghamton University, culminated in the theory of 4 I for the transformational leaders. These are:
1. Idealized Influence: They kindle trust and loyalty among followers through charisma and positive behavior.
2. Intellectual Stimulation: Transformational leaders create an environment of intellectual stimulation and creativity is the key to success and staff are given guidance on how to optimize their problem-solving capabilities, including lateral-thinking exercise.
3. Individualized Consideration: These types always treat their employees separately based on their potential. For them, the team is always an asset to them.
4. Inspirational Motivation: It's been said that first, you change yourself and then others. With this thought in the head, a transformational leader inspires his followers to achieve their goal. They play the role of a mentor, friend and many more. They support the team and push them to embrace the change.
Dolly Parton once said, “If your actions create a legacy that inspires others to dream more and become more, then, you are an excellent leader”.
