Businesses today are treading the most dynamic times ever. You
tackle one issue and there are hundred others staring at your face.
These are testing times and it’s not the leader who’s put to test
here. Only those who can quickly adapt to the situation and act out-

Across all our campuses we acquire talent (students) not on the

ATBUSINESSSCHOOL
Creative thinkers and not mere managers is the
need of the hour. How is management
education responding to this need? Find out.
T
usiness environments today stay transformed owing to
various factors. Rapid advancements in information
technology, deepening of globalisation, changes in business
practices, cross functionality among others, have changed
our paradigms. What the world demands today are not mere
managers, but creative thinkers and effective leaders.
While the goal of management education is to create leaders, one institute dares
tread a different path. Jaipuria Institute of Management, born of a business
house celebrates the spirit of learning instead. The path is simple and clear.
Learning after all is the genesis of effective leadership. The ability and the
freedom to think from all possible angles is the starting point. Jaipuria creates the
environment and the curriculum to facilitate active thinking. Active thinkers
become aware about their Self as much as the businesses they are a part of. And
this very awareness creates the stage for these students to start their learning.
Once you ask the right questions, you seek out your possible solutions. You
absorb and assimilate, you learn. But learning is never an end in itself. From the
learning that you absorb comes a new question, a new thought.
The culture at Jaipuria propels students to step out of the box, to think afresh and
to discover anew. Innovation becomes a way of life. Students at Jaipuria thrive on
risks. And this puts them in centre stage wherever they go. Leadership therefore
becomes their next natural step.
B
The first lesson that a student gets here is that learning is a
continuous journey; it goes on for a lifetime. Effective leaders-
these students at Jaipuria are hence driven to a path of
continuous Self Learning. At Jaipuria Institute, learning remains
the core of all pedagogy. And the student Self, at its epicenter.

7. THINK
Ask questions, contemplate,
explore new avenues. After
all, what you think is
what you become.
LEAD
Take charge, blaze a
new trail, be a trendsetter.
Management is doing things
right, leadership is
doing the right things.

Business has to be provided with talent at

of talent, corporates are faced with the
following concerns, which I have termed as

9. Your attitude will determine your altitude of Life.
Have a positive attitude towards your seniors, class
mates, situations etc. You can improve your attitude
when you undertake new experiences.
To start with “think globally and act locally.” Read
magazines and conceptualise global trends.
Effective people are not problem–minded, they are
opportunity–minded. Think for various alternatives
that can resolve the problem, that may exist today,
or that may surface tomorrow.
I think, if one avoids criticism, comparison and
complaint the attitude will undergo a change.
Practice to live your decision & avoid
procrastination.
ATTITUDE
Others will get influenced when they trust you.
Practice trust - why should people trust you?
Because you exhibit confidence, authenticity and
concern for others.
Being a good listener helps - listen to people and
respond properly. Disagree without being
disagreeable. Express your ideas without getting
into conflict.
In short, if you strive to be a good human being you
will stand a better chance of being hired in campus.

REFLECTIONS
FACULTYSPEAK
DR. PRATIBHA WASAN
(JAIPURIA NOIDA)
For Associate Dean and Professor, Dr. Kavita Pathak, the secret of
classroom participation is “Engaging with the students and making
them curious to learn more.”
As an enabler for learning she believes in “providing cues and
teasing young minds with stimulating questions”. An MBA and PhD,
Dr. Pathak has over 20 years of teaching experience, which
includes not only the time spent with Jaipuria Institute, Lucknow
but also her four-year teaching and research stint at UQ Business
School, University of Queensland, Australia. And what is her
message for students? “You are what you think you can be.
Challenge the limits and take life as it comes.” She signs off.
The spirit of excellence-that is what Dr. Pratibha Wasan brings to
her classrooms everyday. Her teaching style, pedagogy and
management orientation in the course engages students for
learning. “My industry experience helps me establish and deliver
the connection between theory and practice. It has given me an
insight into corporate functioning, its behaviour, value systems,
culture, challenges and realities, which I now pass on to my
students.”
The academic experience for her is “ongoing, delightful and self-
rewarding”. She also adds that Faculty Development Programmes
have helped her use interactive, practical course content and
pedagogical tools.
