Interview with #PeopleLeaders #4

According to Rebecca Henderson, the John and Natty McArthur University Professor at Harvard Business School,

"The sense of being part of something greater than yourself can lead to high levels of engagement, high levels of creativity and the willingness to partner across functional and product boundaries within a company, which are hugely powerful."

In our Fourth episode of Interview with People Leaders: Ravi Saxena shares with us the crucial role Purpose plays in motivating and aligning people with the Vision of the organization and leading towards their progress.

"The Vision may be manifested differently for every person, the Purpose has to be the same."- Ravi Saxena

When we asked Ravi whether Purpose has played a role in bringing people together, he shared with us his views on Vision, Mission and Purpose and their significance in building and bringing people together in Wonderchef. 

Ravi also talked about the motivating factors that inspired him to chuck a very flourishing career and start off with a full time entrepreneurship. He took us back 10 years ago and shared with us how and when his journey started, what were the hurdles and the accomplishments.

According to Ravi, the two main factors that inspired him were:

Freedom of Expression &, Building Equity Value for himself, his partners and employees rather than for somebody else. 

How has your organization managed to bring its people together? What are the factors that inspire you towards a your new journey?

"When the times are toughest that is when Great businesses are formed". - Ravi Saxena
