HOW WE USE LOVE AS A BUSINESS TOOL:
Ram and Gautam
Ganglani have transformed Right Selection into a premier training and
motivational enterprise by following the philosophy that you will be happy and
successful in your life in direct
proportion to the degree to which you will be helpful to the world.
Excerpts from media interview:
How has Right Selection evolved over the
last decade while serving the needs of the
business community?
When Right Selection was launched in 1993, the distribution of business
management books, video training programmes and motivational audios was our
core business.
Over the years, as we evolved, we started providing our clients with cost-effective solutions to their
training needs. Client demand led us to link up with top-class international
speakers, trainers and consultants like Ron Kaufman, Steve Lundin, Tony Buzan, Bob Urichuck, Omar Khan and Keith Usher
specialising in leadership and management skills. Our team of experts is
sourced worldwide and we have a few trainers stationed in the UAE. Although we
began as a father and son operation, we are now expanding with alliances and
partnerships locally and in the G.C.C., as well as adding new members to our team.”
Do you have any mentors from whom you draw
inspiration to run your affairs?
We have drawn a lot of inspiration from a few
premier thinkers on leadership in business and in life. Stephen Covey, Tom Peters, Ron Kaufman,
Anthony Robbins and Robin Sharma are amongst those whose guidance has helped us
create the personal lives we have always wanted whilst at the same becoming
stars in the sector of training and education that we have chosen.
What
would you say is the secret of your business strategy for success?
It is no longer a secret, but we have found ourselves using love as a business strategy. This could perhaps be the most unique factor contributing to our success. We have found that we can get everything we want out of life when we focus on helping those around us get everything they want out of life. Massive success in business really is all about human connections. Business success comes from having thoughtful conversations with our teammates, customers and prospects. If we stop engaging in these conversations, we lose the business.
What
exactly are human connections?
As Robin Sharma says, “They’re the bonds that
link us, person to person. Human connections occur when we genuinely try to
serve other people and make a difference in their lives – when we learn how to
communicate from the heart, speak our truth, and sincerely become empathetic
listeners, getting behind the eyeballs of those we’re listening to in an effort
to understand them. Communication is so essential to showing leadership in your
career.” In short we need to make a special effort to show people that we
cherish and understand them
How
do your clients react to your unusual set of business standards?
Our clients have continued to support us year after year and remained embedded in our list of loyal clients. The fact that we more than doubled our business last year speaks for itself. What makes us happier is seeing the success of our clients who are benefiting tremendously from our variety of effective training programs and powerful learning tools. Our ongoing initiatives have been instrumental in the development of the educating and learning culture amongst our clients. The result is - further enhancement in the relationship between bosses and employees..
As
you look ahead, what do you see as your goals and vision for Right Selection?
We have realized that success is all about making a difference in the world. And, for us to manifest abundance in our lives and success in our business, it is crucial that we become value builders. At the end of the day, that is what the voyage of life is all about……. To seek ways to enrich others, to improve the lot of those with whom we have the privilege of serving and doing business with. Our higher purpose is to help create great results for our customers and make a difference in their bottom lines."
