An Investment In Yourself Pays The Best Interest
Sarath Babu Yandrapalli is the founder and CEO of HiringHood (www.hiringhood.com), a first-in-class recruiters aggregation marketplace technology platform powered by AI/ML for accelerated hiring. Sarath started this company with a vision to fulfill his dream of becoming a startup owner and enable his client’s higher growth prospects.
Sarath strongly believes in growth by providing the right tools ⚙️ and frameworks, whether it is to people🧑🏻 🤝 🧑🏿 or organizations🏭.
He joined my Mentalfitness and the Effective Leadership program6️⃣ months back. Sarath believes that growth📈 is dependent on improvising oneself every moment⌚. He recognizes that personality traits in all of us cause most of these gaps, and most are blindsided🦯when these traits manifest themselves. He told me he did not want to wait for a failure to learn from mistakes.
As the CEO, there are many instances where conversations are of high stakes. Any potential mistake, however small, can be a costly one. Sarath is on a critical path in terms of his company chasing an exponential growth trajectory and did not want to leave any stones unturned in his path to achieve these tough objectives.
Once he started group coaching with me, he realized a significant opportunity to improve his impact. He had an approach to dealing with people in a one-sided manner. That means he was not focusing on the other person’s personality in conversations. He used to approach them in his “one size fits all” style which wasn’t proving productive or optimal.
Sarath saw a significant positive impact after attending the coaching. He found he could significantly leverage one of the many concepts coached during our program in everyday leadership. One such concept is adaptive leadership & communication, which helped him to understand others’ personalities better and quickly adapt to others’ styles. He started noticing that he could have better conversations and understand other people better, leading to improved outcomes.
Effective Leadership program helped him in many other ways as well:
➕Dealing with high-impact conversations with investors. Sarath started to quickly analyze their style and started engaging them in their style.
➕ Realign teams based on their strengths and interests, rotate people to the right roles, and retain them in an extremely tough market.
➕Recruiting the right sales talent by knowing their personality style suits company needs.
➕Able to win trust quickly by avoiding misalignment in viewpoints. Also, he could articulate his view clearly so that others could understand, appreciate and gain quick alignment.
Personally, it is gratifying to see the impact of coaching especially supporting a startup CEO’s growth journey.
While we can work toward our goals independently, investing in ourselves is the most profitable investment💰
