Profile: Milind Wagh

In my professional career of over twenty four years, I have been fortunate to be associated with global brands like Honda, Zenith, Sprint, HP, Acer and more. Working my way through the corporate echelons; interacting with heads, peers, colleagues and friends across diverse cultures, my journey has been full of lessons learnt and given.

Blessed with a strong engineering and an entrepreneurial mindset, I have enjoyed my work in various capacities. Enjoying my hands-on approach to business automation and being an avid user of technology and apps, I have been successful in leading some complex initiatives. This has further consolidated my faith in the use of technology and the knowledge of human behavior to solve issues and catalyse businesses.

I am currently embarked on a major project of building niche communities on the web for the Engage Global Group. The project aims to deliver exciting and engaging virtual platforms for select communities in areas which were primarily under-served.

Through my blog, I intend to cover my key areas of interest:

•    leadership,
•    governance,
•    technology and automation,
•    change management,
•    productivity improvement techniques,
•    excellence in web application practice,
•    organizational behavior, and
•    talent development.

Life gives us many lessons. It is our fortune that we get opportunities to mend ways and improvise our performance; be it in a business environment or on a social canvas. In my association with my managers, colleagues and political adversaries; there is one lesson that I have learnt:

‘An Organization is all about people; their aspirations; their drive; their motivation and their emotions. Their performance and sense of accountability is the byproduct of their strong emotional hooks in that organization. You manage their hooks well and you are on your path to success’

Looking Inward is about exploring these triggers that evoke emotions and responses in our dynamic working places. My interest and focus has always been in applying this knowledge to highlight the importance and relevance of these triggers in managing our business environment.
