14. I transformed her narrative — from an aspiring actress to a beacon of change. This is Zarine Manchanda, whose journey is not just about achieving professional success but about redefining what success truly means. n the heart of Mumbai, amidst the bustling streets and the relentless pursuit of dreams, there lies a story of a woman who Zarine Manchanda was born and raised in a prominent political family near Dharamshala in Himachal Pradesh, the daughter of a Minister and successful businessman, near the home of the Dalai Lama. Following university, she moved to Mumbai to pursue her dream of becoming an actress. Where It All Started “I always believed that Mumbai was where stars were born, and I wanted to shine,” Zarine recalls about her initial days in the film industry. Despite her determination, the glamour world presented challenges that were as daunting as they were transformative. “The rejections were tough; each one felt like a personal failure. But in hindsight, they were steering me towards a path I was meant to follow.” This path led her to establish the Zarine Manchanda Foundation in 2019, a pivot that marked the beginning of her journey into philanthropy and entrepreneurship. “I realized that while I could not control the opportunities given to me, I could create opportunities for others,” Zarine states. company, Zarine Manchanda Interiors, created the Café's luxurious décor. Zarine Manchanda is now regarded as a founder of the 7-Star café experience in India and is looking to aggressively grow the café in India and internationally as a global franchising brand. With this success, Zarine made another bold move, venturing into the hospitality industry by opening a luxurious Café in Mumbai named Zarine Manchanda Café with a slogan Delicious, Luxurious Spiritual Charm. Milestones of Impact In addition to the stylish and sophisticated décor and tableware, the Café's USP is the offering of a blessing to its patrons and the ringing of Tibetan Bells from Dharamshala.

Her ventures, including the luxurious interiors company and the premium security service, are extensions of her mission to create empowering environments. “Empowerment is about providing the tools for people to elevate themselves,” she emphasizes. Zarine is a 2-time National Award Winner, for her extraordinary and exemplary work helping the poor through her Foundation and received two Governor Awards from the Governor of Maharashtra, the esteemed Bhagat Singh Koshyari. Within each of Zarine's accolades is a story of persistence, innovation, and a deep-seated desire to make a difference. “Being recognized is not just Zarine was also awarded the Nelson Mandela Peace Award, which conferred upon her a Doctorate Degree recognizing her invaluable contributions in serving the poor and helping India's neediest through her Foundation's prolific programs, which continued despite COVID. She also received an award for her charity and philanthropic work at the All-India Council on Human Rights & Social Justice, Delhi India, in December 2022. In 2022, Zarine received Midday Magazine's “Power Woman Award”, felicitated as “Iconic Young Entrepreneur & Philanthropist of the Year” at the Governor's House in Mumbai. In March 2022, Zarine was awarded “Young Entrepreneur of the Year” in Delhi, where she was Guest of Honor. Due to Zarine's substantial media coverage in India's leading business and political magazines as award-winning philanthropist, CEO and young entrepreneur, Zarine was appointed Regional Director in Mumbai for BRICS, the prestigious geopolitical and economic trade organization that brings together five important nations to pursue increased trade and mutual economic interests. This appointment was made in December 2021 by the Indian Chamber of Commerce and Industry.

16. In another prestigious appointment, in June 2023, Zarine was named Chairperson & Editor in Chief by India's National Council of News & Broadcasting for the states of Maharashtra, Himachal Pradesh, and Goa. This position covers important issues relating to freedom of the press, media reforms and human rights and peace. Showcasing her diverse skill set and wide range of attributes yet again, Zarine also featured as a Showstopper at two Bombay Times Fashion Week Galas in December 2020 and October 2021. Adding to her branded, award- winning, multiple business expansions as a young woman entrepreneur, Zarine launched two new companies in 2022: “Heavenly Flavors”, a 7-star cloud kitchen and food delivery service and “Zarine Manchanda Premium Security Service”, a 7- star security agency. She is the only woman to own a security services business in India. And in 2023, Zarine opened a restaurant, Flavors of the Himachal Pradesh, a 7-star restaurant in Mumbai, the city's very first Himachal restaurant. The restaurant's specialty is Dham, a vegetarian thali offering that is true to the history and traditions of this hill state. It is a culinary feast that takes two days to prepare and is traditionally served on holidays, festivals and auspicious events. The restaurant's chefs come from Himachal Pradesh where they were masters of the art of Dham cooking.

19. Looking forward, Zarine is poised to expand her influence through her political ambitions and international expansion of her café brand. “My vision is clear—empower, elevate, and inspire. Whether it's through politics or my cafés, the core of my work will always revolve around these principles,” she asserts. The Road Ahead Zarine's style of leadership is deeply rooted in her early experiences and struggles. “My journey taught me that real leadership is about service, about elevating those around you,” she reflects. Her foundation, which started by administering food and clothing programs in Mumbai, became a testament to her commitment to service, impacting thousands of lives. Her journey is a powerful reminder that true leadership is crafted through challenges, and success is measured by the impact one creates. “Every step I take is about leaving a legacy that transcends the boundaries and touches the lives of people,” Zarine concludes, her eyes set firmly on the horizons of change and progress. The challenge of balancing a high-flying career with personal life is not lost on Zarine. “There are days when the balance tips, but I've learned that being true to your values is what matters most,” she shares candidly. Zarine credits her ability to maintain this balance to her disciplined approach and the support of her team and family.

Benefits of using a dynamic approach There are a number of benefits to using a dynamic approach to safety management for electrical medical devices. Perhaps the most obvious benefit is that it can help ensure that devices are kept up to date with the latest safety protocols and standards. A dynamic approach can also help identify and address potential safety issues before they become a problem. Additionally, a dynamic approach can help ensure that devices are properly maintained and serviced, which can help reduce the risk of safety incidents. Implementing a dynamic approach to safety management for electrical medical devices in your organization There are many ways to implement a dynamic approach to safety management for electrical medical devices in your organization. One way is to use a software program that monitors the devices and their usage. This can help you to identify any potential problems with the devices before they become an issue. You can also use checklists to make sure that all safety procedures are followed when the devices are being used. This will help to ensure that everyone is aware of the safety procedures and that they are being followed. You can also create training programs for your employees that will help them to understand the dangers of using electrical medical devices and how to safely use them. By using a dynamic approach to safety management, you can ensure that your organization is using the safest possible methods for using electrical medical devices. considered a set-and-forget process, but rather must be continually evaluated and updated to ensure that the device remains safe.

27. THE ‘NEW NEXT’ ORGANIZATIONAL LEADERSHIP IN R change, activity, or advancement. Static is the inverse of dynamic. It is critical for leaders to show dynamism in their leadership abilities. But, before we can talk about or practise dynamic leadership, we must first slow down. We must be able to halt, take a deep breath, and concentrate on strengthening our self-awareness. ecently, there has been a lot of talk about dynamic leadership. A dynamic process or system is one that is marked by continual being crushed by constant waves of change as a result of the worldwide pandemic and economic insecurity. To thrive in the future, leaders must learn to serve in order to surf these waves. Instead than rejecting change, leaders must cultivate the flexibility and agility required to adapt to new circumstances. Leaders must maintain an eye on the horizon while constantly reacting to the situation in front of them rather than chasing every chance. Leaders must be adaptable. Dynamic leaders recognise that we are no longer living in a static environment. They decided to concentrate on Many people would agree that 2020 was a year filled with significant problems. Many organisations are still

They must cultivate solid relationships while simultaneously achieving high levels of performance. of not only where but also how they work. And the “how” pertains to choose whether to work in person or electronically. This revelation should not frighten you just yet, but it should be on your radar. Your business should have a plan in place for dealing with the alert in the near future – in the new next. Recent graduates have generally been allowed to learn on the job while working under the supervision of more experienced staff. What should you be looking for? Because there is little collective leadership expertise in managing polarities, overwhelming sentiments of change are popping up in all capacities across sectors and workplaces. It’s an intriguing occurrence since the all- virtual working environment may have been the most visible proof of a massive job transition, yet it feels so strange in some respects. Managing polarities, on the other hand, is entirely abnormal. However, whenever the situation improves and long-tenured staff leave, new graduates will be required to fill a big hole in the business. The issue then arises, what are you going to do to prepare for this void? How can we forge on into new terrain while retreating from others? How do you keep the long-term strategy in mind while managing the week ahead? These components are attempting to tug us in a variety of directions. How can we be strategic and visionary while being execution-oriented and without losing sight of day- to-day tactical operations? • Is your company involved in strategic workforce planning? • Is your talent acquisition team anticipating your talent needs for today and tomorrow? • Are they aware that this absence might be a problem? Managing polarities has always been difficult. However, as a result of change, and the quantity of change that is occurring, it is perhaps more challenging now than ever before. People are overwhelmed by the size and frequency of change as a result of the epidemic. Volatility and continual or dramatic change are occurring at a steady pace in these increasingly complicated times. Being dynamic is the new competence that leaders must embrace now if they are to have any chance of achieving achievements as a new era of change dawns. They will be given the opportunity to actively lead this transformation rather than simply react to it. As a result, leaders may take the chance to dynamically script the future of their companies as we move ahead into “The New Next.” How are we going to survive in ‘The New Next?’ Leaders are asking pointed questions about the dynamics of a changing workforce and a changing business climate. Is there enough skill to propel our organisation forward? Is my position strong enough to attract the talent I require? Forget about A-list talent for a while and consider if there is enough “excellent” talent in the workforce to maintain your firm. Today, the answer is almost certainly yes. However, I believe this is due in large part to the shift to a hybrid or virtual workplace. Things change, and while the transition to “The New Next” may take longer than other changes, you should begin planning for future skill shortages in your business today. Top talent has alternatives in terms
