Abstract
Abstract Dr Anil K. Khandelwal, former Chairman and Managing Director of Bank of Baroda (BoB) is credited with transforming the bank, one of the largest public sector banks, from a declining brand into a prime brand in the banking sector of India within just 3 years. Such a rapid and radical transformation using people processes by a human resource (HR) professional catapulted to chief executive officer (CEO) position is a rare example in the corporate world. In this interview, he describes the transformation journey he led, including how he overcame the challenges arising from trade union resistance to technology-led change and institutionalised people-centric business process reengineering in the new age of agile, digital banking. He describes his leadership style as “tough love” and expands on the leadership ideas he canvassed in his two books on the subject.
巴罗达银行(BoB)前董事长兼董事总经理Anil K. Khandelwal博士在短短3年内将该银行(最大的公共部门银行之一)从一个衰落的品牌转变为印度银行业的主要品牌而受到赞誉。如此迅速而彻底的人事流程转型,由一位人力资源专业人士一跃成为首席执行官(CEO),在企业界实属罕见。在这次采访中,他描述了他领导的转型之旅,包括他如何克服工会对技术主导变革的抵制,以及在敏捷数字银行的新时代,以人为本的制度化业务流程再造所带来的挑战。他将自己的领导风格描述为“严厉的爱”,并在他的两本关于这个主题的书中详细阐述了他的领导思想。
期刊介绍:
South Asian Journal of Human Resources Management (SAJHRM) is a peer-reviewed scholarly outlet for publications on HRM in and out of South Asia. It includes countries that are members of the South Asian Association for Regional Cooperation (SAARC), namely, Afghanistan, Bangladesh, Bhutan, India, Maldives, Nepal, Pakistan, and Sri Lanka. In terms of the discipline focus, all articles broadly focusing on the theory and practice of managing human resources for the benefit of individuals, firms and community at large will be acceptable. In view of the contemporary focus on Strategic HRM, the journal coverage would also include comparative research and other related management disciplines as long as one of the key aims of the manuscript is on harnessing the potential of human capital. Considering the uneven economic development within the South Asian region, the journal encourages potential authors to explore broader implications of their scholarly views and findings on the region as a whole. A distinguishing feature of the journal is its focus on “HR in Practice”. Apart from theory, it will pay significant attention on how HRM is practiced in and out of South Asia. The journal features conceptual and empirical research papers, research notes, interviews, case studies and book reviews. In short, to be considered for publication, a manuscript should broadly focus on managing people and contextualised within one or more South Asian countries at the firm, regional, national and international levels.
