Business schools are among the most coveted higher educational institutions. Students go through some of the most competitive exams and pay significant fees because they hope that at the end of their degree, they will get a great job.Yet, the onerous process of finding, soliciting and bringing dozens of companies to campuses each year falls mostly on final-year students, who are part of elected/selected placement committees.For as long as we can remember, these committees have always been accused of bias, arrogance and powerplay by other students.Yet, the fact also remains that those on the placement committees sacrifice a significant part of their education and grades in order to run a great job-matching process for their entire batch.Should they, though?In the US, for instance, most leading B-schools have their professional teams that run the entire campus hiring process instead of students. Finding quality jobs for hundreds of students each year is a full-time job.In India, too, many colleges are gradually coming around to the same POV.IIM Kozhikode has transitioned the process from students to faculty. This model aims to instil transparency and professionalism in what vice-chancellor V Ramgopal Rao calls “a crucial rite of passage marking the end of academic life.”BITS Pilani has adopted a system where HR professionals employed by the institute handle placements.IIT Bombay set up a committee under a senior computer science faculty professor Uday Khedkar, with one of its aims being “setting up a clean and transparent placement process system”.

Ellen Van Oosten is Professor of Organization Behavior at Weatherhead School of Management, Case Western University in Cleveland, Ohio. She's also the co-author of one of the best books we've read about human behaviour. Helping People Change, written by Richard Boyatzis, Melvin Smith and Ellen Van Oosten was Henley Business School's coaching book of the year in 2020. And we are unsurprised, because by taking a human-first approach to change, it turns most conventional thinking about organisational change management on its head. In this episode, Jen, Dom and Cat chat with Ellen to hear what she's learned about human behaviour over the course of her career. They discuss how organisations can better help their internal stakeholders not only shift behaviour for the long-term but also navigate the continuous change that marks the 2020s. Takeaways Continuous change is a prevalent and ongoing experience in the workplace, with many organisations undergoing restructuring and leadership changes. Successful change requires individuals to have a sense of agency and to feel a personal connection to the desired future state. Communication plays a crucial role in change management, particularly in articulating goals and objectives and fostering a shared understanding of how individuals can contribute to the organization's strategy. The failure rate of change programmes remains high, indicating a need for a more empathetic and human-centered approach to change management. Empathy and emotional intelligence are essential skills for leaders and communicators to cultivate in order to create supportive and engaging environments for change. Positive emotion is needed to thrive and flourish. It's about dreams, not just goals. Build resonant relationships through clarity, connection, and compassion. About Ellen Van Oosten Ellen B. Van Oosten, Ph.D. is Professor in the Department of Organizational Behavior and Faculty Director of Executive Education at the Case Weatherhead School of Management. She is also Director of the Coaching Research Lab, a scholar-practitioner collaboration to advance coaching research founded in 2014.

Do you have a difficult employee on your team— someone who might be underperforming or resistant to taking feedback? Do you know how to help them?Melvin Smith says that coaching can be harder than you realize. First you must figure out which approach will work well for that specific employee. But you also need to know how to measure the success of your coaching and when it's time to move on to other options—like performance management. In this episode, he takes questions from listeners who are struggling to coach some of their employees. He offers advice for what to do when your new employee is slacking off, or when they're struggling to adjust to your organization's culture and communication style. He also has suggestions for coaching two direct reports who are in conflict with each other.

We are hardwired to love change when it's done in a way that brings forward hope… joy… learning.” What is Appreciative Inquiry? Appreciative Inquiry, sometimes referred to as “the other AI”, is one of the best kept secrets behind meaningful and lasting change at organizations. The AI approach is strength-based, meaning it focuses on identifying and leveraging successes to solve problems, rather than focusing on trying to fix individual failures.

Welcome to the Managing CRE Risk podcast with Jeremy Goodrich. Today, we have a veteran CRE investor with us who has more than 25 years of experience, Ken Gee. In our conversation, Ken breaks down risk in different parts of the lifecycle of a commercial real estate deal. He lays out how to succeed in the CRE world and mitigate the risks through due diligence, raising capital, and asset management. You don't want to miss out on this episode! Learn more about Ken and his story at shineinsurance.com/managing-commercial-real-estate-risk! “I've always told our investors, it's my job to try to protect the downside and make sure we have a good upside plan in place.”   04:52 Ken has around 2000 doors in his portfolio and he's been investing in commercial real estate for more than 25 years. He describes himself as a risk-averse person. According to him, one of the hardest aspects of real estate investing is bringing yourself to the awareness of the risks that you want to mitigate.    Ken's advice on how to successfully identify and mitigate risk: Educate yourself on the industry, market, and property. Focus on your operation and constantly evaluate your business plan. Have a solid insurance policy. Identifying risk comes easier with experience, so don't give up. “There's going to be things wrong everywhere. It's just a fact of life. What our job is, is to identify risks that matter.”   12:40 Ken talks about how to manage the risks surrounding the lifecycle of the property. Due diligenceLook at the physical property and see if there are hidden things there that are difficult to correct or significantly impact your business plan. Ken's advice is to find a mentor at the beginning of your investing journey to help you build out your due diligence process. Document the entire procedure. Raising capitalIt's important for passive investors to understand what it means to be invested in a multifamily real estate deal. Ask all the uncomfortable questions from the sponsor to evaluate if they're professional and knowledgeable enough. Figure out if they're transparent and have a good track record. Asset managementGive yourself 30-60 days to learn everything about the property before you start the renovation. Based on this information, modify your business plan.   Ken shares his insight on CRE risks in the near future. Interest rates have doubled in the last year and we might go into a recession. In the real estate industry, the most important thing is occupancy, so make sure you're buying in a growth market and keep your occupancy high.
