EMBA& Aspirations

Question: Discuss about the Report for EMBA Aspirations. Answer: Describe your near and longer-term aspirations and how they relate to your core values. I always articulate - Never Say-Why Me? I Say-TRYTESTME. IM READY! My near and long term aspirations have always such which I can actually manage and are quantifiable. And because of this very reason I feel that all the near and longer- term aspirations should be managed well enough and thus this has always made me have my inclination towards management and administration. My near term aspirations are to successfully go ahead with my new job as General Manager and continue delivering good work there. Also when I have my core values with me, I am indeed sorted because I strongly feel that with my values of hard work, honesty and always keeping few things at priority, I can achieve a lot in this new job of mine. As a General Manager, I have been given a lot to be done and this was always the kind of work I wanted. This being my short term aspiration, I feel I am fortunate enough to get this job and learn a lot from this. My short term aspiration of doing well as a GM definitely leads to my future aspiration of returning full time to my start up and run it with proper time and attention. I always feel that till the time you dont have experience and you dont learn from your work, its not possible for you to run a one man show and even teach others. For running a whole start up, you need to know that how you want your employees to work. And for this very reason, I had accepted this job so that I am on the other side of the table first and learn and gain experience. This completely speaks for my core values of working hard and learning as much as I can. Point out 2-3 key differences between the aspirations you currently have and those that were implied in either your dream job or your eulogy. Actually, I did not find any differences between my aspirations and either in my dream job or eulogy. I am quite satisfied with what I have right now and my future aspiration as mentioned earlier also to run my start up. My dream job have always been to run my own start up full time and thus dedicating my whole learning and knowledge towards the same will be the best time for me. Think about those changes in your aspirations that would not have taken place had you not embarked on the EMBA Programme. What specific aspects of your experience (e.g. classmates, faculty, courses, and insights) would you credit with triggering these changes? Having said that there are no changes between my dream job, eulogy or my aspirations- would have never applied and accepted the GM role if I was not comfortable enough in discussing financials, marketing and understand the way in which a team, power and politics work in a company. This is all due to DEMO. An excellent curriculum which has given me an opportunity to explore and learn the management with a whole new perspective of global standards with a lot of case studies and discussions in class and networking with the established entrepreneurs and executive professional. This all has certainly given me a great push because of my future aspiration of becoming a full time entrepreneur myself. The desire to step into establishing my own company and to hire people to run it under my supervision is also something which comes from experience and my current job as GM will definitely make me do that on- hand. After gaining so much of an amazing experience through trainings and internships through this EMBA, I was definitely sure of moving onwards to administer different administrator. And fortunately while studying we used to read that the most vital position which you would hope for is that of a GM after this programme. And certainly due to the rigorous training and my zeal to learn, I have certainly got one. All the discussions and courses, faculty insights have really boosted my confidence in pursuing my dream in entering as an entrepreneur in future. Also this programme which has even taught me my way ahead to run my own company- like how to manage your business, how to raise capital, presenting in front of Venture Capitalist etc. This has certainly helped me a lot.
