Lt. Gen S. P. Kochhar (Retd.)

Lt. Gen S. P. Kochhar (Retd.), The CEO of TSSC India, was here at BITS Pilani for a two day workshop on Effective team building and Leadership skills. The workshop was organized by the Department of Management with the cooperation of Mrs. Anubha Dadhich, Asst. Professor, Department of Management, BITS Pilani.

The workshop was attended by students, research scholars and faculty members of Department of Management.

The workshop was completely fun filled and activity oriented rather than a theoretical session. It all started when students were asked to write down their fears of life and explaining each other about ways to deal with one’s own fear. Further they were made to understand the differences and similarities in a corporate leader and a military leader.

After a break, the students were asked to write a short story and characterizing the elements in such a way that they depict weakness and strengths of each of the team members. Lessons related to team formation, team dynamics, leadership, compatibility were identified at the end of the session.

At the end of the Day-1 and on Day-2, students were given a problem related to revenue maximization and skill acquisition in TSSC INDIA and wherein they came up with a business plan to solve it. A feedback session was then held where Lt. Kochhar addressed the students the way he felt about being here at BITS Pilani and expected to continue the association in the years to come.

It was great pleasure to us, the students of BITS Pilani to have such a great individual with us who enlightened us through practical lessons.
