When Harsha Bhogle spoke…

Harsha Bhogle addressed the audience at the ‘Are You in the List’ Awards Night with a motivational speech.

Connecting sports to HR, Harsha began by asking the audience, “When a cricketer plays well under one captain and underperforms under another, is this a cricket issue or a people issue?”

He further spoke on challenging the stereotype, like he always has.

While advocating change, he said, “I am very delighted that these awards are encouraging young people, because young blood harnesses change. Often, we don’t like change because we do not want to go outside what we are good at.”

Continuing on the people aspect of sports, Harsha deliberated; for a team to perform well, it is important to let people go.

“While managing a team, nurturing talent is a critical aspect of leadership, but it is crucial to let people go as well. We can’t deny that Alex Ferguson was a genius, because he let David Beckham go,” he said.

Harsha further stressed that success in sports is about understanding people better.

“Strategy in sports is not about tactics, but about understanding people. Good leaders give talented people the environment to flourish,” he expressed.Putting talent under pressure only results in shortening of the shelf life, he reasoned.

With a strong message on leadership, Harsha congratulated the 25 Young HR Leaders of tomorrow and concluded his speech.

“A good leader is never insecure and can tell talented people when to use what faculty. As a successful people manager, you must understand that managing mavericks is about leadership letting them do what they do best!”
