BYJU’s Divya Gokulnath on making genderless leadership a global agenda for an inclusive future

Despite modest gains in representation over the last decade, women are still dramatically underrepresented in corporate setups, especially in senior leadership. While a recent McKinsey & Company study says that more businesses are prioritizing gender diversity, corporate culture and policies don't always reflect that - and it affects employee job satisfaction and the time they spend at the company.

A simple web search for the definition of leadership returns over 130 million results. But what stands out among all these millions of theories is the gradual shift in emphasis from “who” the leader is to “what” the leader does. While some may posit that a leader’s success is determined by a combination of values… Continue reading BYJU’s Divya Gokulnath on making genderless leadership a global agenda for an inclusive future

Clutter Breakers: JioCinema’s new WPL campaign positively propels women’s cricket

The ad is different while involving feelings of warmth and familiarity. It really is a refreshing take on something that is close to our hearts and convincingly puts a smile on our faces.

I'm not a celebrity entrepreneur and I don't have aspirations to be one. Therefore, initially I was hesitant. They tried to convince me to be a part of the ad and after consulting a friend – the director of Shark Tank, I considered the risks and decided to do it.

Brands talk to the rejectors and the ‘passives’ in the same way they talk to their core. The idea is to activate the brand’s worldview in the brains of such folks. It is believed that via mirroring of messages, brands gain traction. (Representative image by Mike Petrucci via Unsplash)

When marketing pundits talk about ‘loyalists’, or ‘the passives’ or ‘detractors’ they are referring to merely a collection of individuals into range based groups. Leaving diehard loyalists aside, there is much eagerness to engage with the middle uncommitted. The recruits all lie in this middle mass is the belief.
