What I learned from Mr. Nagaraja Upadhya at Huawei – Part 2

Continuing from last week, let us talk about the another lesson that I learned at Huawei while working for Mr. Nagaraja Upadhya.

Nothing is impossible, if you have your team with you

This is something that did not happen to me but never fails to impress me, every single time I think about it. This is story from the days that Mr Nagaraja Upadhya worked for Huawei in China.

One fine day, he had taken his R&D team out for an “Off-Site”, while returning back, they had stopped at a highway restaurant for dinner. After they came out from the restaurant, they found that someone had wrongly parked a car making it impossible for them to take out their Bus. Initially they waited, then they looked for the driver in a couple of restaurants. Everyone wanted to go home but were feeling stuck.

Mr. Nagaraja Upadhya floated an idea, an Idea that they lift the car and move it out of the way. After initial hiccups and doubts, he was able to rally his team and they together they lifted the car and moved it out of the way.

Well, some ideas may be difficult, or out of box, but if you can rally your team you can do the impossible. Hope you can all rally your teams behind you.

Stay tuned for more next week.
