ankita-gecko
Hi everyone, I work in a role that requires me to strengthen organizational capabilities and I am trying to learn more about what are some challenges that senior positions in organizations face and what are potential solutions to help them. Are there any books or research papers on this that I can read? Thank you for your help!

Dear Ankita,

You have written that your role requires you to strengthen organizational capabilities and for the smooth execution of your role you wish to strengthen your personal capabilities. For this, you have asked for books or periodicals that can be referred. First and foremost, I appreciate your approach. It appears that you have internal locus of control. Keep it up!

Though you have asked for a query, you have not written your field of activity. Is it HR, Marketing, SCM, Finance etc.?

Now coming to the solution. There is no single book that will teach you how to handle the challenges of the senior position. Nevertheless, you can read business newspapers or magazines. Occasionally, there could be an article on how a particular company handled some issue. You may tell your company to subscribe to a few business dailies. But you need to have time to sift through those.

If you wish, I could be of a little help to you. I have provided consulting services on business strategy, business planning, SCM and so on. Many times, seniors have attended my training programmes. They share their organisational challenges also. Their knowledge-sharing becomes an elixir for my business! Feel free to contact me. Once I understand your challenge, then I will be able to offer a better solution.

All the best,

Dinesh Divekar
