Winning four Best Manager Awards Taught Me This

The Best part of being a student is
never found in the moments that are found in solitude, but in the moments that
are shared. For two years I was not just a roll number (K06028) but a character
that constantly kept finding new roles to play, with brilliant teachers and fun
students. One of the best platforms to broaden your horizons and challenge
yourself is the Best Manager event. Winning four Best Manager Titles at the flagship programmes in 4 different
Universities, (Jain University, Amrita University, GRG PSG University and
Calicut University), has not only made me realise the tremendous influence XIME
has had on me but also made me realise that I have found ways to win while
earning my competitors respect. As much as people will tell you that it is a
Man-Eat-Man-World out there, I have always found heart in the most unexpected
of all places. In all the 4 competitions, not only did I try helping out my co-competitors but also did not hesitate asking for help.
The Best Manager event is the perfect
place to find the balance between pressure and fun. The induced insomnia with
the gruelling night tasks or the fun treasure hunt, the making of PowerPoint or
its Presentation, all of it puts you in the spotlight to think on your feet. As
a management event, most rounds are associated with the major streams such as
Marketing, Operations, HR and Finance. Getting to ‘role play’ as the CEO of a
great company or a Manager of a company that has wronged the stakeholders, it
is finally all about how you stand your ground and have your moral compass
always pointing North.
But mostly, I ask anybody who is
reading this, Participate just so
you reach the final round - The Stress Round. It is a whole new level of experience.
Nothing that words can describe. As they say, some things NEED to be felt than
explained.
