What are the key factors that keep you connected with the education sector?

“Coming up with solutions and making the education sector better every day”

The most important factor in this profession is the updated knowledge and quality delivery of the same to the students. The other factor is respect, which as an educator, I got from society and a chance to guide students in their overall development. At the same time, this profession gives a chance to get connected with the young generation. 

What is your philosophy of leadership? How would you describe your leadership style?

“Leadership should be a dynamic, exciting, and inspiring experience”

Leaders help themselves and others to do the right things. They set direction, build an inspiring vision, and create something new. Leadership is about mapping out where you need to go to "win" as a team or an organization. Yet, while leaders set the direction, they must also use management skills to guide their people to the right destination, smoothly and efficiently. As a leader, I always believe in trusting the people and at the same time allow them to work with autonomy and responsibility.
