Vision
A life where people look up to me and want to be like me, taking risks
and necessary steps to achieve success upholding his/her values and beliefs.
The step I take next, ie. After my post-graduation will prove crucial to my
vision as it is the time where I have to throw myself into the world, the
decisions I make should be diligent as I feel it would shape my future career.
Values
There are certain values and beliefs I uphold as an individual.
First and foremost is honesty (Truth), I believe I am a very honest person and
expect to deal with honesty in return too. If someone does find faults in me I
would prefer him/her to say it upfront to me rather than hold it within as I can
work on it and try to improve myself. As a leader I would tell him/her honestly
what is wrong as from my opinion as they can correct it if asked which could
turn out positively in their lives too.
Second, I hold friendship of top regard as I believe understanding is key to team
work and a good relationship reflects in the output produced. Building good
relationship will prove fruitful and help gain maximum potential in what one
does. As a leader building relationships will make people listen to you more
often and value my opinions.
Third, Self-respect. For me this is an important value. I will not give up my selfrespect to do any kind of work for money. As a leader upholding self-respect, I
respect each individual for his/her values making them respect me as an
individual too.
Finally, Compassion. I am compassionate and always look at the larger picture
at stake, the society and everyone in it. I am a person who cannot stand by and
watch as someone suffers and would do anything in my power to help them out
at times of need.
Mentors
First person to have a positive impact on me is my father, Sanjiv Seth.
He is a leader by all means. He made quick decisions, held no regrets over
them, quick to adjust with different situations. Leads by positive example and
fosters a team environment in which all team members can reach their highest
potential. Having travelled along with him, the impact different cultures have
made on my PR skills are tremendous. I am able to adjust with different culture
and different place in a snap.
Third and the final person is my badminton coach, Mr. Vipin Sharma, the never
ending face of calmness and at the same time authoritative. He holds certain
traits which I try to follow upon. He taught me how to be calm and face the
gravest of problems with a gracious smile. According to him, no matter how bad
the shot be, you can always retrieve it. When one is confident, he/she can
overcome any difficulties and move ahead in life.
All this has had a positive impact on my life and look at me now, I am the class
representative of my section and I presume I am doing a good job at it.
Leadership Style
I am a team leader. I encourage myself and the team to get maximum
potential in the easiest of ways. Prefer to lead by positive example and create a
friendly atmosphere for all to work. I also try to strengthen bonds amongst
group members as it would help in achieving end result. I am calm at the time
of crisis and can assure and comfort my team members that there is a solution at
hand which can be implemented and a perfect execution would resolve the
issue. I can be the leading source of light at all times bringing the team new and
challenging opportunities to test oneself.
Goals
Keeping my goals a bit above my potential so that I keep on working
towards it, a mean of self-improvement. I, myself as an individual will improve
by doing this.
To obtain a good job wherein I can use my potential and thereby looking
after my family which is of utmost importance.
A suitable position where I can enjoy my life and enjoy all the available
resources rather than becoming a workaholic.
Social recognition and respect.
Develop all aspects in my life such as relationships, community involvement
and professional development.
