# Tanuka Bhattacharyya's Manager Readme

**Senior Manager at Infosys**

# Motivation for this document

Thank you for taking the time to read this document.&nbsp; I hope by the time you finish reading, you will know me a little better, which will make it easier for us to work together efficiently.

# My role

Our Transformation Program Management team is measured by the outcome we help generate at the client organization.&nbsp; We are given a client's problem and are told about a desirable to-be state.&nbsp; We decide how to get to the to-be state and ultimately accomplish that through projects in various shapes and sizes.

We are measured not by our deliverables but by the outcome we generate.&nbsp; I will explain what this means to each of you individually when we meet.

As your leader, my job is to enable you to achieve your goals.&nbsp; I will not handhold you, but I will work with you to address your challenges and help remove any impediments.&nbsp;

# What do I value most?

I like to be hands-off.&nbsp; If you need my help with something, I expect you to tell me.&nbsp; Unless you tell me about any challenges, I will assume that the projects are on track.&nbsp; It will help if you raise a red flag well in advance.

I will be as transparent as possible with you, and I expect the same from you.&nbsp; If there is any personnel-related challenge, I hope you share that with me.&nbsp; I prefer to handle conflicts directly by bringing everyone into the same room.

I am a hard taskmaster and can sometimes be a little impatient.&nbsp; But if you send me status updates on a mutually agreed-upon schedule, it will help contain my anxiety.&nbsp; It will be beneficial not to have to chase you for something.

# My Expectations

If you need my time, please block my calendar; it is updated at all times.&nbsp; If your need is urgent, do not wait for me to reply and call me.

Remember that we all make mistakes.&nbsp; An error is a sign of your efforts.&nbsp; Those who never make mistakes do not try anything new.&nbsp; So, do not be afraid of trying new ways of doing your work, and if that causes an issue, come forward and let me know.&nbsp; We will resolve the problem together.&nbsp; However, I expect you not to make the same mistake more than once.&nbsp; Learn from your mistakes and move on.

"perfection is the biggest enemy of done" and "done is always better than perfect."&nbsp; Do not sit on a task.&nbsp; Come up with a version "0" and the iterate and build on that.

I expect you to be available during work hours, on short notice.&nbsp; But outside of 9-5, I do not expect you to be on stand-by.&nbsp; I hope I have the permission to reach out to you via the official mobile phone for matters critically urgent.

# 1:1s

I prefer to have 1:1s every alternate week unless we need to meet more frequently.&nbsp; I expect you to decide on the topic of the 1:1s, and I would also like to hear about any challenges you might be having work-related or personal during this time.

# Where to focus on your first 30 days?

By the end of the first thirty days, I expect you to have met all the team members and understand the organization and its culture.&nbsp;
