VASUTA AGARWAL | MD ASIA PACIFIC at INMOBI
 

We all know what our comfort zone is – and we all have one.  The problem with living in your comfort zone is that it means you’ll continue to do the same things that you do now, with the same outcomes.  Each leader has his or her own comfort zone, and what it means to step out of it is different for everyone.  But as the world has entered into a very uncertain business environment, most leaders today fear stepping out of their comfort zone. So how can we be courageous enough to step out of our comfort zone and how can we do it? To answer these questions 

We have with us today a very valuable guest- Vasuta Agarwal- the Managing Director for the Asia Pacific at InMobi. She has been featured in the Campaign Asia "Women to Watch 2020" list, among the "Top 50 Influential Women in Media and Marketing in India" for 3 successive years since 2018 and in the "Economic Times Women Ahead List" for 2018.

Have you ever faced the problem of corporate politics- where you’ve hated to get your hands dirty, where you’ve told yourself- oh I don’t want to get into this mess or maybe you’ve said to yourself- I wish I knew how to play it too.

Here’s something I want you to know my friend- Politics exist in every organization and every business - regardless of size; it’s a matter of degree."Everyone comes to the table with their own personal goals, egos, aspirations, and agendas, and in order for someone to get what they want, there is always going to be some level of compromise, negotiation, and politics," "Where this starts to become problematic is when personal motivations are not aligned with those of the company.

And Guess- you don’t have to play corporate politics- but you need to know how to navigate successfully and come out on top clean.

Leadership isn’t a position, it’s a decision. Many people mistakenly think they aren’t in a position within their jobs to effect change. They think if only they were the “boss” they could really make a difference. They would run things in such a way that things would be different.

This is why most people remain average in their work life. I want to challenge you to rethink the way you look at yourself. If title or position of authority doesn’t determine your ability to be a leader, then what does?
