@Juris @skepticsaint congrats guys....and best of luck for the interview. Could you please share your profile?
Congrats to all who have earned i/v call..
Somebody posted revised i/v schedule and it shows that i/v will be carried out in Delhi, Mohali and Kolkata till Feb. 10 .
Does it effectively mean that i/v calls for Hyd location are no more rolled out?
Although, isb mentions that i/v calls for Hyd. location will be rolled out till Feb. 10, I have not seen anyone reporting Hyderabad location for last one week.
Please correct me if I am wrong.

I HAVE A QUESTION FOR THE GIRLS HRE...
if u r wrking as a manager..nd ur subordinate refuses to obey u as a female lead...wat will u do?
I just called ISB to ask abt interview location of Delhi applicants.. They mentioned that they are spreading certain Delhi calls to Mohali as well... So if we don €™t get Delhi call till 17th than we can hope for Mohali schedule... The only thg we are left with is HOPE...

@garima.agrawal Kick their nuts?
On a serious note-
1. Do not try to be 'one of the boys'.
2. Most managerial skills develop by observing and learning from your own manager. A problem is the shortage of female role models. You can learn from male managers too but make sure to have your own feminine twists to the concepts. Try finding a mentor who will help guide your decisions and give you leadership feedback.
3. never ask a subordinate for feedback as it makes you seem unsure of yourself.
4. one Shouldn't be too harsh nor too forgiving as both techniques don't work. must try to find a balance.
5. most importantly Lead by example. men are like a pack of wolves, they obey the strongest and most determined. Make sure you are always at the front of all decision making and confrontations, back up your subordinates whenever necessary and show loyalty. In time you will be considered the alpha male.
on second glance these tips are useful to male managers too. Ah well... just my 2 cents.

Avinash, I do not agree to point 3 above. The best way to connect with your team, particularly if you are a first level manager, is to get constant feed back from them. In the case mentioned by Garima, this constant feedback is going to help build the required trust and eventually surpass the gender bias.
@avinash88: Case studies are in relation to some biotic company, where I need to demonstrate the future success of the project to the Board. There are some clauses of not meeting target in past, emerging market problems, and problamatic board members and CFO. Then, another case was in relation to facebook IPO.
@dodgeforgmat I understand your point and it is valid in most managerial situations. But I was considering the situation where the female manager was already facing issues with subordinates due to gender. In such a situation its always better to be self-assured instead of displaying doubt.
