Leena Nair, 39, Executive Director (HR),HUL
Once again in the BT Power List. Does it still enthuse you?
It's always an honour and worthwhile. I feel humbled by the recognition.
Your definition of power has it changed over the years?
When I was younger, I thought that power was seniority, authority, hierarchy ... Today, power for me is ideas and about influencing change.
New lessons learnt in 2009.
The current working environment has become tough, so greater empathy and caring for the employees has become very important. Another learning is that the job of leadership is to build hope and optimism.
New frontiers conquered in 2009.
We continue to attract and retain top talent.
What next?
Miles to go before I sleep, I have just got started. - Anusha Subramanian
