My Eclat Coach | Are you a 5-star Leader? Part 9/10


In this series, I will detail my thoughts/suggestions on each of those 10 dimensions

Do you delegate?

most brilliant people can do everything brilliantly if only they had the time.
but you dont.
so, brilliant as you are, you will be left with a lot to do, that you will never be able to do, just coz you dont have another 24 hours, everyday.
delegate.
find out the tasks that you do not enjoy, think someone else could do just as well, or just a little less and start delegating.
that is a start.
but if I could persuade you to, I would suggest you take a different approach.
find out, hunt for people better than you at things you do everyday and then delegate.
it is so much better!



Can't Wait for the entire series?

NEWS| RIL retail ventures yet to enter profit zone

Reliance Retail (RRL) and Reliance Fresh, two subsidiaries of Reliance Industries in the retail sector, suffered losses as the textiles-to-oil major sought to build market share and expand its presence in one of the world's fastest growing economies.

According to data available in RIL's consolidated balance sheet, RRL has incurred a net loss of Rs 20.2 crore in the financial year ended March 2009, compared to Rs 0.82 crore in 2007-08. Revenue came down to Rs 622.3 crore from Rs 1,486 crore.

The company posted a net loss of Rs 10.9 crore on total earnings of Rs 259.9 crore in the first year of its commercial operations during 2006-07. The decline in topline in the fiscal 2008-09 was entirely because Reliance Fresh, earlier a part of Reliance Retail, now operates as a separate subsidiary of RIL.

Reliance Fresh reported a loss of Rs 249.3 crore on total income of Rs 1,778 crore during 2008-09, according to the annual report of RIL. The combined topline of the two subsidiaries, at Rs 2,400 crore, represents a growth in excess of 60 percent over the 2007-08 figure.

NEWS| HCL Infosystems to rebrand retail outlets

As part of its marketing initiative ‘HCL Mobile Excitement (ME)’, hardware and systems integrator firm HCL Infosystems is rebranding its retail outlets and its store chain ‘Digilife’ which retails digital lifestyle products.

The multi-category stores, which offer a range of ICT products including laptops, mobiles, cameras, MP3 payers and gaming consoles, would be called ‘ME-Zones’ and the computing stores which sell desktops, laptops and netbooks would be branded as ‘ME-Xclusives’. HCL has 65 Digilife stores in the country.
The company will invest up to Rs 50 crore in two-three years for rebranding its personal computers, comprising laptops and netbooks, besides eyeing a 20 per cent market share in the category — up from 7 per cent at present. The investments will be in marketing, rebranding and market creation exercises across verticals. “Both these categories of stores will be rebranded in stages, which should be over November-end. All stores would be branded with the new design,” HCL Infosystems EVP George Paul said.
