This summer, I started teaching Leadership and character building to my 8-year-old son. To get some structure to the plan, I bought a good book which was organized into value based chapters and exercises. I would read one chapter with him everyday and complete the exercises at the end of the chapter. I had no idea that this seemingly simple routine would turn out to be a leadership refresher and eye opener for me. When I thought of character, values like honesty, integrity, humility etc flashed through the mind. Finding 'Best effort' and 'Empathy' in the list of good character traits was attention grabbing if not surprising.
Organizations too have a character just like individuals. Creating products that exhibit 'Best effort' and 'empathy' with customer should be in the DNA of value driven organizations. At Cisco, this is evident in the APIC-EM manageability product suite. APIC-EM is Cisco's Software Defined Networking (SDN) controller for enterprise networks. It delivers an elastic platform for policy-based automation that simplifies and abstracts the network.
