BARODA MANAGEMENT ASSOCIATION

The Bulletin of BMA

Dear Members,

It was certainly a busy year, which is probablywhy it passed in blink of an eye. I am writingthis article in SAMANVAYA as I preparetransition to immediate past president. As anOffice Bearer for past 4 years, I have goodreason to express my heartfelt thanks to PastPresidents, Office Bearers, ManagingCommittee, Members and Friends ofAssociation. We have accomplished muchtogether in these years that passed too quickly.

To recount, we have had numerous successful AMC’s, RTC’s, MDP’s,FET’s, ITC’s, LDP’s, Book Launches and joint programs with AIMA.We have had an opportunity to host 2nd and 3rd Sayaji Ratna Award.All these events helped increase visibility and strengthened brandBMA. Amongst significant changes are refurbishing TrainingCenters, Library, revitalization of secretariat, website upgradation,higher industry interface and increase in Patron and InstitutionalMemberships.

It takes a collective effort to make an association like ours viable, andI think it is only fair that special thanks also go out to all the membersof Managing Committee of respective years. Thank you for all yourhard work.

BMA plays a vital role in management movement, and I hope that thisyear each member will find a way to serve the organization thatserves you. If you have stepped up in the past, we thank you. If youhave not yet, now is the time.

While there is still much to do, the new team is motivated and anxiousto work with the ongoing leadership of the members who remain onthe board. Going forward, BMA will be in great hands under theleadership of President Ashish Parasharya.

I thank you all for allowing me to serve you as president over the lastyear. It has been an honor, a joy, and an experience that I will alwayscherish. I have met many new, interesting colleagues, made manynew friends, and enjoyed it to the fullest. I look forward to seeing youat upcoming events.

Comparing India with Japan he said we are similar in many ways but theyhave moved forward at a tremendous pace in the last 60 years. We should tryand associate with them and learn a few things. He said early in his career, hegot a chance to work with IOC Chairman – it was very challenging but he gotto learn a lot. It was at a time that we did not know that oil will survive, so theystarted business in Gas – Petronet LNG. They also diversified intoPetrochemicals with the LEB plant at Baroda with the encouragement of

Today it was one of our most successful businesses. Heexplained about the different and successful diversification strategies ofIndian Oil Corporation – and how now they have started thinking of what todo if we start having all electric vehicles as is predicted.

Regarding Management he said hewas highly inspired byRegarding Manufacturing he cited theexample of the Chairman of ToyotaCompany who was inspired by a bookwritten in 1857 by a British for theyouth of his country – which hasstories about great people whoworked with passion and not for apurpose. From Toyota, we need tolearn No Waiting, No Queing andContinuous Flow, eliminate waste,improve efficiency and for thatremove all hurdles – to increaseProductivity. But this does not happenby merely increasing the number ofpeople.

It was a powerpack trainingsession where the trainer taught thedifference between a leader and amanager, the qualities that make youstand out as a leader and furtherdiscussed coaching on skills, attitude,knowledge and habits. The sessionconcluded with a special round of


Management Development Program on

“Negotiation Skills”Date: June 26, 2019 | Venue: BMA

A power packed training session was conducted on “Negotiation Skills” on25th June, 2019 with 60 nominations. The trainer emphasized that the art ofnegotiating skill is generally a trait that has to be developed rather than aninherited trait.

The trainer effectively conducted the session explaining superior deals inboth workplace and personal life. Various negotiating skills were discussedsuch as communicating, persuading, strategizing, employing tactics,techniques, tool-sets, systems and procedures.

If you don’t likewhat you are getting -

Change whatyou’re doing!

Soft skills are increasingly becomingthe hard skills of today’s workforce.It’s just not enough to be highlytrained in technical skills withoutdeveloping the softer, interpersonaland relationship building skills thatwill help people to communicate andcollaborate effectively. Hard skills,they say are often useless withoutsoft skills. Yes, friends softs kills areindeed harder to learn. The modernworkplace is now going interpersonaland the future workplace will nowtotally rely on soft skills. Soft skills areintangible and difficult to quantify.They are a key to gaining visibility andcreating more opportunity for all.Luckily these softs kills can bei d e n t i f i e d , h a r n e s s e d a n dstrengthened. You need not beconfused with the soft skills; theycertainly take a huge effort. Just asyou go to the gym to get strongerthrough repeatedly straining yourmuscles the same way you have toactively exercise your soft skills. Thekey is consistency. And trust mefriends the results are worth it, lessstress, easier conversations and ahappier at workplace.

T e a m w o r k , l e a d e r s h i p a n dcommunication are under pinned bysoft skill development. Since, eachi s n ’ t e s s e n t i a l e l e m e n t f o rorganisational and personal success,developing these skills is veryimportant and does matter... A lot!

‘ME’

Question and Answers. The participants truly had an insightful day with a lotof takeaways.


Soft skills are ability of a person to deal with various scenarios in randomconditions. The reason these skills are so important is because an individualwho has a learning attitude is easier to train as compared to someone whohas a negative attitude. The way you talk, dress up, walk your approachtowards working are all the things that speak a lot about . There has beena huge rise in the number of industries from different sectors and there hasbeen a significant increase in the number of job opportunities and thecompanies are finding it hard to find a suitable candidate. There is a wide gapbetween the number of people who aspire to be employed compared tothose who could be employed. In today’s highly competitive environment,organisations require employees with adaptability, problem solving abilityand communication skills. An employee with ample soft skills is consideredas an asset as he/she creates conducive work atmosphere. These days allthe corporate sectors are seeking and opting for candidates who not onlyhave the requisite academic qualifications but also with sufficientinterpersonal and intrapersonal skills.

The foundation for a successful career may be laid by hard skills but are onlystrengthened by soft skills. Interpersonal skills are about how a person couldmanage his or her feelings or behaviour in a social context and how they arereflected in others. Intrapersonal skills on the other hand are about dealingwith the thoughts and emotions that persists within an individual.

Soft skills are required in a globalized setting where they have to deal withpeople of different culture. Inter personal skills are essential for people to besuccessful in their personal and professional lives like assertiveness, teamwork, stress management, leadership qualities, problem solving,perseverance, decision making, anger management and listening skills.While your technical skills may get your foot in the door, your people skills arewhat opens most of the doors to come. Soft skills have less to do withknowledge and more to do with Soft skills can certainily help yougain confidence -

YOU

who we are!An Invaluable Trait Indeed!

For good ideas and true innovations- you need human interaction, conflict,argument and debate. Conflict resolution ideally is a process by which two ormore parties engage in a disagreement, dispute or debate to reach anagreement. A number of skills are needed for you to resolve conflicts in theworkplace effectively.

Every company will have disagreements and difference of opinion which ifnot managed can escalate into inter personal conflict. Therefore, it is veryimportant as a company to intervene immediately. It is not a good idea or anoption not to get involved and hope that your employees sort it outthemselves. If you value your company and your positive culture its time nowto take steps to resolve the situation. Any situation which causes conflictbetween two employees does not just affect them but also everyone aroundthem. In such a case the other employees may feel like they are walking onegg shells in the presence of both parties.

Mediator is a person who can work the best for conflict resolution. Ideally, amediator should be an internal person and has a neutral attitude. Mediationshould involve finding a third party trusted by the people involved in theconflict and then trusting that person to help find a solution. The mediator

can be a manager, HR employee, abusiness coach, a co-worker, etc.

Conflict resolution is often achallenging area but as a manager orsupervisor it comes in the jobpackage. Ones wil l ingness toappropriately intervene sets the stagefor one’s own success. Althoughchallenging, it can be extremelyrewarding also.

In Conflict Resolution one often getsinto cognitive and emotional trapswhich are not based on reality.Conflict can be of many types;Interpersonal conflict, intrapersonalconflict, intragroup conflict andintergroup conflict.

But friends, conflict can be positivealso, Creativity often comes fromconflict of ideas. Conflict whenhandled correctly Strengthens.

There are three principles in man’sbeing and life, the principal ofthoughts, the principle of speech andthe principle of action. The origin of allconflict between me and my is that Ido not say what I mean and I don’t dowhat I say.

I am conditionally trapped by:

All- or- Nothing thinkers

Labelling

Over-Generalisation

Mental Filtering

Discounting the positive

Jumping to conclusions

Emotional reasoning

Should and shouldn’t statements

Personalising blames.

I think .. I am Done !!!

So…. It’s time to talk, listen andresolve!

Whenever there is conflict -

Attitude is what matters!

BARODA MANAGEMENT ASSOCIATION

The Bulletin of BMA

With a lot of fanfare, recently Vadodara Smart Cityreleased a book in Gujarati called “Vadodara -Jaanyu Chhata Ajanyu” about Vadodara city. Itcovers more than 55 special aspects of our city.Vadodara has ancient history and is full of placesof cultural importance; this book will surely be acollector’s item. However, these days talk of thetown is the Smart City Projects. When we seepotholes on the city roads, or water logging atplaces and we get hassled by the traffic chaoswhere the over bridge is being made we wonderwhat this SMART CITY is all about. To get answers to our questions, (this wasbefore the deluge or we could have asked questions related to that too). BMACEO Divya Jaggi and I met with the CEO of Smart City Mission Shri Sudhir K.Patel (Deputy Commissioner of Vadodara Municipal Corporation) (G.A.S.).We were also joined by Shri Manish Bhatt (Director IT) who looks after the ITCell of VMC and gave us useful inputs, during the discussion.

My father was a primary school teacher. I was also good in studies. But Ipassed my HSC board with great difficulty. Obviously my father was keen onmy education and even I felt that I need to be educated well. So I did mygraduation in Arts in 1998, but then I was in two minds – whether to go intothe field of management or prepare for competitive exams for administrativeservices. Luckily I had passed the entrance in both fields. However, my elderbrother suggested that I should go for Public Service. So, I worked hard and Iappeared for GPSC and cleared Mamlatdar cadre in 2004, where I topped inwhole of Gujarat.... and then I have reached this position after a lot of hardwork and dedication. I was promoted as an Additional Collector at Vadodarain May 2018.

Yes of course, with the higher position, responsibility also comes sideby side. For me it is an additional charge. First, I have to perform my duties asa Deputy Municipal Commissioner of VMC. People have so manyexpectations and need quick results. They think that everything shouldhappen in a jiffy! But it takes a lot of planning, brainstorming, appropriatemanpower, adequate funds and time to execute any project.

DJ: Thank you Sir, for giving us time for this interview. You must be keeping

really busy.

MG: Good morning. Let us start right away. Tell us something about

yourself.

SKP:

MG: It must be a proud feeling to be appointed as a CEO of Vadodara Smart

City.

SKP:

DJ: Smart City is a very ambitious mission, but most people don’t have

proper knowledge about it. Can you please explain....

Interview of

CEO Vadodara Smart City

SKP:

smart city city

MG: Fantastic ! But what are these

and how are they funded?

SKP:

MG: Is there any project to preserve

Vadodara’s heritage?

SKP:

The Central Government hadidentified 100 cities under thismission, to be able to provide basicminimum amenities and otherfacilities to citizens smartly. What isSmart City? A is a thatincorporates information andcommunication technologies (ICT) toenhance the quality and performanceof urban services. SCM (Smart CityMission) has a grant allocation ofRs.1000 crores. From this fund, wehave planned 29 smart projects out ofthe l is t prov ided , p lus VMCadditionally has 31 more projects towork on. So currently we areexecuting 60 projects, under thismision.

The Central Govt. is providing50% of the funds and the StateGovernment and Vadodara MunicipalCorporation put 25% each. This is thestandard practice and we have tofollow as per guidelines given. List ofal l the projects that we areundertaking, is given in the booklet. Aseparate company called

(VSCDL) was formed to carry outthese jobs in a professional manner.The execution is done under threecategories namely…

i) Smart City Mission (SCM)

ii) Public Private Partnership (PPP)

iii) Convergence(other grants).

The two main areas of developmentare…

a) INFRASTRUCTURE &

b) INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY(IT).

Yes, every city has its unique

features, so is for Vadodara. We have taken 3 heritage projects in Smart Cityto preserve our rich heritage. We are already doing the revamping of heritagestructures like the Char Darwaja, namely Mandvi Gate, Pani Gate, ChampanerGate, Gendi Gate and Lehripura Gate. We also have a Heritage Tourist Bus.

Our prestigious project is the Integrated City Command and Control Centre(ICCC). All major systems are integrated on one platform at ICCC, BadamdiBaug. We can also monitor our heritage structure and even map heritage tourthrough GIS map as an initiative of “Vadodara by Foot”. We have alsointroduced Virtual heritage tour, which gives you an experiences of a realvisit. We also have an upcoming project of showcasing our rich heritagethrough Virtual Reality (VR) and Augmented Reality (AR).

This is a very common question that arises in any local administrativebody. But if you look at the positive side of it, it gives you the needs, issues andambitons of common people. Though, Smart City Missions is a separatecompany - . It is designed to workefficiently just like private company. Management, Staff & Board of Directorsis independent. However, it works in consent with Administrative andPolitical team.

Yes, but at present, due to positivity of political members andwillingness towards work, we work in complete coordination, transparencyand integrity. Our target is that whoever coming in person or via social mediaor any other medium has to be satisfied with our solutions. At least we can tryour best. When we work with honestly, transparency and with integrity, mostof the problems get resolved.

Obviously, As I said, when top level is effective and transparent, then theteam below also works in the same manner. We have frequently educatedour staff on new technologies, work schedule, analysis as well as on workpattern etc.

Apart from all these activities, I am giving guidance to the candidates who arepreparing for UPSC and GPSC, to tell how to use your capability with hardwork. No political or monetary influence will help you to get anywhere. Ialways like to share, “Mehnat aapko karna hai, apne aap ko kabil banana hai!”That is my message for all youngsters.

Thanks a lot, we will be happy if your members visit the Control andCommand Centre and see how effectively city is being monitored andmanaged.

MG: Wonderful insights about Smart City Mission and the work you are

doing. Now I am going to ask you a difficult question. In your position, I am

sure there must be a lot of political pressure from the elected wing and since

we are from management, we would like to know how you handle it.

SKP:

MG: Ok – that’s about Smart City Mission, but apart from this also you must

be facing same resistance, so how do you manage that?

SKP:

MG: One last question. Do you think an effective, passionate and dynamic

leader/administrator at the top helps to maintain certain decorum all the

way down?

SKP:

MG: Thank you for your time and wonderful insights of Vadodara Smart City.

MB:

DJ: Thanks for your kind invitation. We will surely try to arrange a visit and I

personally look forward to it.

Do you feel proud of it?

Do you feel proud for yourancestors?

If yes, then you should read thisthat will make you happy andthat your beliefs stronger. If no,then you have to read this entirearticle which will change yourview about it. Indus valley civilization is the oldest civilization on earth.

“RIG-VEDA” is the oldest compilation of human wisdom on earth which youcan read even today. So we Indians have the oldest book and oldestlanguage on earth.

All other cultures like “Mesopotamia” “Babylon, “Greek”“Roman,“Arabian” ,started after Indian Vaidik culture and end before it but we are still followingalmost all the rituals and festivals of our original vaidik culture.

The mystery of this longest survival is not just cultural but it happensbecause of the science behind all cultural & spiritual activities in our culture.

Dear Members,

Hope the rains and following conditions have not drastically affected you and your families. Not only us in Baroda,but all over Gujarat and many other parts of the country have been badly affected by the floods and the aftermath.Man cannot stand up against nature’s fury, but aren’t we ourselves responsible for what all is happening. I appeal toall of you through this forum to put your ‘management’ acumen to use and push the civic authorities for betterpreparedness in future years.

Talking of administration and the state of affairs in Vadodara- this month Samanvaya carries the interview of theCEO of Vadodara Smart City Mission- Shri S.K.Patel plus an article on “Be a proud Indian” since it is the month of“Independence Day”.

Many members are not able to attend the Friday evening talks despite being keen, so we decided to carry gists of theFET for the benefit of such members.

BMA office is busy planning a lot of interesting programmes, we hope to meet you all there, Until then…..

Stay safe, Be healthy and don’t fall sick!
