About the Event: The leadership meetings organised by Glaze Trading Pvt Ltd are always special in their own way. The All India Leadership Meet held at Country Inn, Sahibabad during July 8-9, 2015 turned out to be extraordinary in many respects.
To begin with, the two-day event was marked with several departmental presentations followed by brainstorming question and answer sessions in which the distributors participated with great zeal. The departmental heads were ably supported by syndicate members in educating the franchisees and distributors, participating in the conference, about sorting out difficulties that they face in their day-to-day functions. However, before the proceedings began, the Quality and Business Process team headed by Ms Jyoti Chopra conducted a test for the trainers of the computer training programme run by the country. The distributors who qualify this test will function as certified trainers who will be conducting computer training sessions throughout the vast and ever expanding Glaze network.
Day 1
The day 1 began with IT head Mr Diya Darshan Divakar conducting a session on maximising benefits of Galway mobile application and answering various queries of the delegates. He was joined by company director Mr Sarabjeet Singh who informed the gathering that after recently visiting various countries, he can proudly claim that the mobile and other technological systems developed by Glaze are at par with those of global business corporations. He also shared that the distributors will be brought on a common social media platform via Glaze’s official website, and going further the company has also instituted a Digital Franchisee Award to encourage the distributors to optimise the use of digital technology in their profession.
Next was the turn of the presentation on accounts and sales tax with Mr Trilok Singh of Accounts Department emphasising on the need for distributors to maintain regular financial records and filings with regard to income tax; sales tax and service tax. He was joined on the stage by senior Syndicate member Mr Kush Kumar, who informed the congregation that the company has decided to appoint consultants for the franchisees to help them fulfil all statutory obligations regarding their business. The further good news is the 50 % of the fees of the consultant will be borne by the company.
The delegates next had the privilege to listen to a very exhaustive and interesting presentation on health and nutrition by Sarvjeet Singh of the BDT team. He underlined the ill-effects of pollution, stress, unhealthy lifestyle and intake of fast and processed food that is low on nutrition. Here Glaze has decided to contribute towards the well-being of people by planning a whole new product range in the health and nutrition segment under Galway Nutriflow.
It was in the fitness of things that spiritual and wellness trainer Dr Romshri addressed the gathering and took every one on an altogether different plane of meditation as she stressed upon the significance of undertaking an inner journey for all human beings. Her speech was followed by certificate distribution ceremony for the successful leaders who had qualified as trainers under the recent Self-Empowerment Programmes (SEP).
Day 2
The day 2 of the event began with a presentation by Syndicate member Mr Om Prakash Singh making a powerful presentation on the qualities of leadership. The participants also benefitted from a presentation by the Customer Care team led by Mr Samrat Debnath. He was helped by Mr Madhusudan of CSS department and Syndicate member Mr Rajesh Paswan in elaborating upon the functions of the company’s interface with the distributors and answering the queries of those present.
The crowning glory of the day came when Mr Sanjay Verma chose to speak on the fundamental issues of life. He began with analysing the human tendency to attribute everything to God’s will, when faced with adverse circumstances. We fail to realise that we do everything in life out of our own free will. God has given us the knowledge of good or bad karmas (actions) as well as the strength to do either of them. So, we cannot shirk individual responsibility for our actions. In fact, whatever happens to us is the cumulative result of past and present karmas. So, Glaze leaders should embrace a positive approach to life and imbibe the values of honesty and transparency in their profession, he said, concluding his soul-stirring speech.
Subsequently, GDD and franchisee from Rudrapur (Jharkhand), Munna Prasad Chaurasia addressed the gathering and recounted his story of long struggle and ultimate success. He impressed upon the need for the distributors to adapt themselves to change in the areas of their work. His speech was followed with the announcement of 15 more IRs as members of the prestigious Regulatory Committee (RC) after Umesh Kumar Chaurasia whose name was announced as RC in the last meeting. All the RCs were given a grand felicitation by the top leadership of Glaze comprising Mr Sarabjeet Singh, Mr Sumit Kohli, Mr Sanjay Verma and Mr Kush Kumar.
The meet concluded with the presentation made by the Supply Chain Management, headed by Mr Sanjay Chaube and supported by the Syndicate member Mr Mundrika Gop.
All in all, the leadership meet turned out to be a highly informative and interactive experience for all.
