THE DANCING CEO - VINEET NAYAR -OF HCL WITH A CLEAR AND LUCID MESSAGE
THE EXPERIENCE WAS TOTALLY DIFFERENT

Yes - we had our yearly 'meet' with our 'CEO' at an event called 'Directions-09'

After effects : Vineet Nayar simply rocks!!! and so did HCL

It all started with a recording - a video shot

Then it was business when told about what we have achieved in past year, what should be our strategy for the next year and how an HCLite can make a difference. It was a very inspiring and motivating video. Then.....

Then.... the finale

Loud Music: 'Ellam pughum oruvan oruvanu kay nee nadi pola odikondiru" Vaali's song echoing then ..it was Vineet ..dancing among the HCLities...moving all around the hall, trying to reach every one. People clapping, shouting, whistling...the best moment people realised at HCL - totally impressed with the dance - were we seeing a professional I wondered so nice was his steps to the tune of the song played

Music stops. He starts his talks.

'Did you enjoy???'
'Yeeeeeeeeeesssssss!!!!'
'Did you like my dance?' ;)
'Once more, once more'
'Ok! but you will have to dance with me'
Again, loud Music. Same song played ..people leaving their seats and rushing to him...every HCLite had a broad smile on their face.
Music stops. Everybody back to seat.

Wow!!! it was so wonderfu and facinating!!!!!!!

After getting everybody in a good and energetic mood,he starts talking. He talked about video. Discussed thoughts he had presented.
What we liked, what we didn't like..everybody was free to speak. And then came the most interesting part: QnA session...where anybody and everybody could ask him any question...

It went on for around 1.1/2 hours...our CEO, with us, for us, ready to talk, ready to share, ready to answer, ready to admit and share his mistakes, make others learn from them - a rare trait and practice perhaps the world over a CEO spending time with his employees

Good news were shared, bad news were also not left behind either. Still, those few hours were really the WOW hours for all HCLites.

Who would have ever thought that employees will have the strategy planning told not by their managers ..but directly by the CEO?
Who would have ever thought that the CEO will come in person to talk and share with you?
Who would have ever thought that your CEO would be interested in talking and much less listening to you?

MESSAGE WAS LOUD AND CLEAR THAT CURRENT CONCERNS FOR THE INDUSTRY ARE

THE BUSINESS TREND
DOLLAR WEAKENING AGAINST RUPEE
CURRENT FRESHERS ATTITUDE
MANAGERS' DEPORTMENT AND EFFICIENCY
SACRIFICES ONE HAS TO UNDERGO IN CURRENT TURBULENT TIME

TO MENTION A FEW

THAT IS THE EVER FASINATING VINEET NAYAR THE CEO OF HCL - HAIL THEE!!!!!
