The issue of educated versus employable individuals is not new in our country. The number of unemployed educated persons is increasing day by day, posing a significant challenge not only for the government but also for any sensible and responsible society. This problem is particularly acute for individuals from rural backgrounds. In today's competitive world where presentation plays a crucial role, underprivileged youth from rural areas find it challenging to secure jobs in urban India. Recruiters often exhibit a bias towards English-speaking candidates, leading them to secure job offers based on their proficiency in the language and their sophistication during interviews. On the other hand, youth from rural backgrounds lacking these presentation skills often feel uncomfortable and struggle during interviews.
In addition to presentation skills, young individuals need coaching in various other areas to enhance their moral character. The qualities that young managers should possess in the present times include intellect, influence, learning agility, and drive. Influence and humility are traits that are not typically taught in schools. When intelligence is coupled with humility, it creates an unbeatable combination for any young leader.
This understanding was exemplified by Dr. P.N. Singh, who hails from a rural background and successfully navigated his way into the corporate world in Mumbai with dignity and respect. Dr. Singh, guided by the philosophy of doing good to others, established the 'Leaders for Tomorrow' project under his foundation. The project aims to develop and nurture slum children by providing free training, enabling them to attain self-sufficiency and lead their lives with moral values, bridging the gap between rural and urban youth. His foundation has been quietly investing in building soft skills among youth, focusing on ethics and values for many years in Maharashtra.
The cover feature of this issue includes articles and views from renowned management experts and academicians who discussed the qualities of young leaders and the challenges they may encounter in today's volatile and complex world. The conclusion drawn was that young leaders who can connect the dots, embrace ambiguity, and make sense of the paradoxes around them will pave their way to success.
March also celebrates women power across the universe. Renowned corporate women HR leaders Aparna Sharma and Dr. Tanvi Gautam shed light on the status of women in the corporate world and society at large.
