EP. 98 Respect Is Mandatory, Trust Is Earned

Professionally Offensive

Sandeep Chennakeshu, COO of Uhnder and former CTO of Ericsson and President of Blackberry Technology Solutions, has lived a charmed life. His "Series 1" mindset has led him to always say yes and take on some of our world's greatest technical challenges. From bluetooth to 2g technology, Sandeep has been on the cutting edge of universal technology. He says that you only really solidify your leanings when you test them in real life and "Battle-Testing" your learnings ultimately leads to wisdom. Enduring pain and life's challenges requires commitment- Unfortunately, many folks are not prepared to stay the course. Sandeep learned some early lessons that he thought may have been career ending, but realized that his mistakes or "Expensive Education" were building blocks to a prosperous career. Talent, Technique and Temperament are core tenets every successful professional has, but Temperament being the most crucial. One's ability to maintain calm during the chaos, lean into adversity and demonstrate an attitude of commitment is what will ultimately win the day. No amount of technical expertise will help you out-perform your mindset and the example you set for others. Sandeep also shares his philosophies and principles in his book "Your Company Is Your Castle". One core principle is a Leader's greatest responsibility - To unburden your Team, so that they can be their best. When we learn its not about how much you know, but how much you empower others, you can accomplish the impossible.

Sandeep's Book "Your Company Is Your Castle" can be found on Amazon and other places books are sold.
