Express view on L&T chairman’s remarks: The CEOs who lack of vision, empathy or ideas

Published by Parlour News

Jan 11, 2025 07:26 IST First published on: Jan 11, 2025 at 07:17 IST Share There is a crisis of imagination and no amount of perks, ESOPs or staggering six-figure salaries seem to square up to it. The future of productivity, if industry bros are to be believed, lies not in work-life balance but in work-work sublimation. After Narayana Murthy’s prescription of a 70-hour work week in 2023, Larsen and Toubro (L&T) chairman S N Subrahmanyan has urged employees to put in 90 hours at work every week and to even forgo weekends in the pursuit of professional excellence. In between, corporate leaders of all stripes — from Bhavish Agarwal of OLA to Bombay Shaving Company’s CEO Shantanu Deshpande — have advocated harsher work regimens for a variety of reasons, ranging from character building to nation building. After all, as Subrahmanyan said in the annual company meeting, “How long can you stare at your wife, how long can the wife stare at the husband?” He could well be saying, “Who wouldn’t want to sacrifice their …

Hunt for UnitedHealthcare CEO’s elusive killer yields new evidence, but few answers | World News

Published by Parlour News

As the frustrating search for UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson’s killer got underway for a fifth day Sunday, investigators reckoned with a tantalizing contradiction: They have troves of evidence, but the shooter remains an enigma. US police are confident that the attack on Brian Thompson was targeted, not a random one.(Reuters) One conclusion they are confident of, however: It was a targeted attack, not a random one. They know he ambushed Thompson at 6:44 am on Wednesday when the executive arrived at the Hilton for his company’s annual investor conference, using a 9 mm pistol that resembled the guns farmers use to put down animals without causing a loud noise. They know ammunition found near Thompson’s body bore the words “delay,” “deny” and “depose,” mimicking a phrase used by insurance industry critics. The fact that the shooter knew the UnitedHealthcare group was holding a conference at the hotel and what route Thompson might take to get there suggested that he could be a disgruntled employee or client, NYPD Chief of Detectives Joseph Kenny said.

Ajinkya Rahane Or Venkatesh Iyer? Kolkata Knight Riders CEO’s Brutally Honest Verdict On IPL Captaincy

Published by Webster

KKR CEO Venky Mysore at the IPL 2025 Auction© AFP There has been a lot of conversation surrounding the captaincy situation in Kolkata Knight Riders following the IPL 2025 auction. KKR won the IPL 2024 title under Shreyas Iyer‘s captaincy but the franchise decided to release the India batter ahead of the new season. Following the auction, two major contenders have emerged for the KKR captaincy role – Venkatesh Iyer and Ajinkya Rahane. While Rahane is the experienced option, the Rs 23.75 crore price tag makes Venkatesh a prime contender for the position. After the auction, KKR CEO Venky Mysore opened up about the situation and he provided a clear answer regarding the captaincy conundrum. “Well, you know that. To be honest, we have to sit down and take stock. Sometimes what happens is, after you’ve done all of these things, you just have to sit down, reflect, look at the whole thing. There are stakeholders and parts of the think tank won’t be here. So we’ll all sit down and have a …

Tech CEOs want to replicate Tim Cook’s Donald Trump playbook

Tech CEOs want to replicate Tim Cook’s Donald Trump playbook

Published by Webster

Instead of sending government relations executives or lobbyists, Cook would appeal to Trump directly through phone calls and meals, said people familiar with the interactions. Cook then developed a meeting strategy with Trump where he would bring one data point to home in on a single issue in a meeting, the people said. That approach helped keep the meetings from spiraling in too many directions. Disclaimer: We do not own any of the content, ideas, images, or text presented here.
