What mistakes do some students make while preparing for law entrances?
“Preparatory mishandlings, lack of proper knowledge and motivation”
Cracking a law entrance exam is not tough, but the right strategy and path is required from inception to end. Some students make small or silly mistakes during their preparation like beginning preparation without analysis, improper prioritizing and lack of research oriented study. Non generic approach of preparation such as reading and learning unnecessary topics, sticking on just one or few topics for a long period of time or unverified study sources also lead to failures. Moreover, poor revision strategy, lack of discipline and evaluation are some other common mistakes.
What strategy do you employ for building an efficient work team?
“Effective company wide open-door policy”
A simple strategy to make your every employee feel heard and part of something meaningful is highly effective in retaining team work. This can be achieved by communicating with your team on a regular basis, listening to various ideas and concerns, and updating personnel on corporate changes and transformations.
Tell us how you delegate tasks and make sure students crack the law entrances?
“On time assignment of task and evaluations”
The first step is choosing the right person for each work. Part of being a good leader is understanding your employees’ strengths, weaknesses, and preferences. If you need to delegate a task, delegate it to someone who prefers collaborating, and not someone who feels strong working alone. As our delegation of work has a direct relation with the career of the students, it is checked and evaluated time to time so that any student doesn't lag behind and constant efforts are made on each student to make them clear the entrance exam.
Any suggestions you would like to give to the current youth?
“Create ideas, act accordingly and lead”
My advice to the current youth is think before you act and be humble. You must not be a follower, but a creator, a leader. Establish a set of values socially and professionally, and maintain emotional stability as well. Remember, hard work is permanent, smart work is not.
