Twelve transitions from academics to corporate life
1. Individual based To Team based: Changing the mindset of the student from
individual level thinking to team based.
value: your decision should be integral to the situation.

2. Self planned to project plan: unfortunately very few students have self
planed approach and rest carry out their activities in ad-hoc way.
value:planning optimizes resources.

3. Last minute preparation to day to day discipline: here aim of this step should
be to reduce the cramming strategies adopted by the students
value: disciplined activites, reducation in risk.

4.Answer to available and known to solution not known: this transition will be
developed slowly with help of the other transitions in the above mention list.
value: spirit of inquiry and reform
5. Remember the answer to arrive at an answer
value: development of your analysis and synthesis skills

6. Marks based to productivity based: emphasis from ‘study to clear the exams
to study to learn the subject’.
value: focus on reality than the inception. (as a student your
job,duty is to collect knowledge, marks will follow your
knowledge)

7. Evaluated by someone else to start with self-evaluation: learning to


become self critic, this is crucial aspect of both academics and life. This is
the beginning of the self actualization process.
value: become your critic, buries ego.

The ethical values practiced by corporate are:

1. Equality - recognizing equal rights for all and displaying a sense of justice.

2. Truth - being both accurate and open in all business transactions.

3. Honesty- being fair in business dealings and intolerant of deceptive


behavior in others.

4. Integrity- adherence to moral and ethical principles.

5. Teamwork/Cooperativeness- working together willingly and openly for a


common purpose.

6. Self-regulation – sticking by all commitments and guarantees.


 Listen- Listen-Listen
During conversation, do not keep talking yourself too much. Try to listen and
observe a lot.
Build a professional attitude.

 Initiative
Try to take initiative for sorting out problems. The management appreciates
them who are ready to take the accountability.
Be a self starter.

 Pay Close Attention to your Corporate Culture.


You should try to learn how the things work within the company. Know your
corporate culture. The personality and confidence can be made conspicuous by
dressing in accordance to the situation.
It is not just about expensive brands but it's about how you carry yourself.
 Communication
One should have the knowledge of writing business letters,
speaking publicly, making effective presentations.
Always remember- Don't be afraid of asking questions and
pretend to know things that you don't know.

 Mentor
One should have a generous mentor who will willingly share
his/her experience with you, and will tell you everything that
may not be written in induction booklet.

 Always stick to deadlines


The corporate melody plays an entirely different tune than
Schools / Colleges. So, do the work harder, smarter and faster so
that there should not be any need for reminder or supervisors to
keep you on track.
 Team Work
Synergy, spirit-de-corps means a lot. School teaches you to win by
performing individually while corporate sector teaches you to win by
performing together.
True win is when your team mates win.

 Grow at Peace where Learning Adds to Wisdom


If you are ambitious, that is really good but if you are over-ambitious, that
will drain you.
Start with execution and do not be in a hurry to carry a large title
which you cannot carry.

 Capital follow knowledge


More you compare, more uncomfortable you will feel. Instead look for
value addition for the company and develop yourself too.
 Wherever one comes from, at entry level, all fresher’s
are lined up at a common starting point and their
growth depends on their attitude, skill and
performance.

 For the corporate, a highly internally motivated long


term performing and learning individuals will take the
organization to greater heights, as a team.
