@duggu_sapto @Maruti_Corp 27 Jun'26: Vehicle serviced. 28 Jun'26: Engine warning light & drivability issues. Advised to drive home but the car jerked on the way. 29 Jun'26: Vehicle picked up. Over a week later, I am still being asked to pay for ECM replacement. Very disappointing.@Maruti_Corp

Procter & Gamble leaders openly communicated mistakes in product launch forecasts during team debriefs, taking responsibility without defensiveness. The culture of ownership and humility promotes rapid learning and continuous improvement. Admit mistakes quickly and emphatically: Owning up to errors shows humility and strengthens credibility

Amazon’s mediation sessions between coworkers require each party to voice the other’s perspective first, ensuring understanding before resolving disagreements. This approach speeds up conflict resolution and preserves team cohesion. Try honestly to see things from the other person's point of view: Understand and acknowledge others' feelings and perspectives to build trust

Microsoft project managers start meetings with a friendly round of introductions and informal check-ins, helping lower defenses and foster a spirit of collaboration for team challenges. Always begin in a friendly way: Starting interactions with warmth and friendliness lowers defenses and paves the way for productive communication

There is a cultural shift in crypto communities- backed by a study from the National Bureau of Economic Research -showing long-term Bitcoin holders outperform traders, challenging the mainstream narrative of crypto as a speculative bubble.

So would you #keepthebitcoin ?

It is important to give honest and sincere appreciation: Recognize contributions with genuine praise, which motivates and strengthens relationships-Johnson & Johnson’s sales meetings include regular “shout-outs” where teams publicly recognize colleagues’ efforts. This sincere appreciation motivates staff and boosts company-wide performance

BlackBerry posted a second-quarter profit and raised its full-year outlook on Thursday, demonstrating resilience in its transformation from smartphone maker to cybersecurity and automotive software provider 

Other businesses can learn several important lessons from BlackBerry's successful turnaround.

Embrace Strategic Transformation-
BlackBerry's pivot from hardware to software-focused businesses, especially in the growing fields of cybersecurity and automotive embedded systems, highlights the value of boldly transforming core operations to align with future market trends. Businesses should be willing to reassess and reinvent their product and service offerings proactively.

-Focus on High-Growth, High-Margin Segments
BlackBerry's QNX division drove significant growth and profitability by targeting the automotive software market, which benefits from increasing demand for autonomous driving and advanced vehicle technologies. Identifying and concentrating on growing, high-margin segments can lead to sustainable profitability.

Maintain Operational Discipline-
BlackBerry's improvement in gross margins and reduction in operating expenses led to consecutive profitable quarters. Effective cost management paired with revenue growth is key to a successful turnaround.

Leverage Recurring Revenue Models-
Secure Communications' increase in annual recurring revenue demonstrates the stability and predictability products with subscription or contract-based models bring. Businesses should consider how to build recurring revenue streams to improve financial resilience.

Adapt to Emerging Market Needs-
By addressing cybersecurity risks intensified by AI-driven threats and building strategic partnerships (e.g., with BMW and Qualcomm), BlackBerry showed the importance of responding proactively to emerging trends and collaborating with industry leaders.

Communicate and Deliver Consistent Results-
BlackBerry's raised full-year guidance following strong quarter results helped build investor confidence. Transparent communication and consistently meeting or exceeding expectations support a favorable market perception during a turnaround.

Toyota implements “Kaizen” meetings where employees discuss improvements without assigning blame. This fosters an environment of constructive feedback and continuous improvement, with minimal interpersonal conflict. Thus, avoid criticism, condemnation, or complaint: Criticizing others leads to defensiveness, while appreciation and positivity inspire improvement

HSBC upgrades India to overweight, sets end-2026 Sensex target at 94,000 (+13.2%), calling it Asia’s “quiet corner” as valuations ease and policy turns supportive while foreign funds stay light; warns on overcrowded AI trades in North Asia, and sees China grinding higher amid $22T retail cash and hefty southbound flows.

Temporary price tags have invaded Indian retail shelves after GST 2.0, with iconic Rs 5 and Rs 10 packs replaced by odd prices like Rs 4.45 and Rs 8.90.

The learning: When sudden regulation hits, companies must be agile—short-term disruptions are inevitable, but rapid adaptation preserves consumer trust and market stability.

Talk in terms of the other person's interests: Engage in discussions that reflect what matters to them, not just to oneself. Unilever managers tailor project roles to suit team members’ interests after regular feedback discussions. Assignments reflect employees’ skills and passions, boosting overall morale and productivity

Tata Motors' Jaguar Land Rover unit faces £2 billion loss due to a massive cyberattack, exceeding its FY25 profit. With no cyber insurance, the company is staring at a huge financial hit. Cybersecurity is no longer just an IT issue, it's a boardroom priority. #TataMotors #CyberAttack #JLR

[Anupam @theanupamroy]

@ETMarkets 'Potential £2 billion'. Seems an exaggerated guesstimate though

[Anupam @theanupamroy]

@Investalign True, but do we know how many fortune 500 companies are cyber insured. would be a good point to check...

Thanks largely to a booming stock market, the net worth of American households increased by $134 trillion between 1989 and 2024. The bottom 50% captured a scant two percent of the gains.

Another important point can be the ballooning CEO pay. In the 1960s and 1970s, the compensation ratio between the CEO of a large company and an average worker was less than 30:1. Since 1998, the ratio has averaged more than 300:1

Capitalism works better for some than others. 🙂

Be a good listener; encourage others to talk about themselves: Let others share their stories and achievements and listen actively. Salesforce organizes monthly employee “listening sessions” in which anyone can share ideas or concerns. Leadership’s active listening results in innovations incorporated into company strategy and strengthens trust within teams

The Ritz-Carlton hospitality chain personalizes service by ensuring staff remember and use guests' and colleagues' names. This practice builds client loyalty and instills a feeling of belonging among employees. Remember and use people's names: Addressing others by name shows respect and makes them feel valued and important.
