The recent IPL match win where batsman Rinku Singh hit five consecutive sixes in the last over to win the match for his team created a nationwide sensation. People were in awe of how he played and the impossible feat he achieved. But have you ever stopped to think that you, too, could have a Rinku Singh within you?
In our professional lives, we are often taught against doing the impossible. As a result, we get into the drudgery of ‘regular performance’ in our corporate lives. The ability to take risks or perform under maximum pressure to help your organization win is becoming a rare act. Most of us want to serve our roles so that we can save our jobs. But is that enough?
Are we content with going through the daily routine, or do we want to achieve something great?
In corporate parlance, BHAG is a wonderful example of what Rinku Singh achieved – Big, Hairy & Audacious Goals challenge the professional and team to deliver almost unachievable goals, and often it becomes easy because of the spirit and belief. Professional leaders and their teams should be persistent and ambitious in risk-taking, playing on the front foot, and getting into a habit of winning.
But the question remains – do you have a Rinku Singh in your organization or part of your team? Or let me ask this question, do you have a Rinku Singh in you? Yes, we all have a Rinku Singh within ourselves; we only need to find them out. The potential to achieve greatness lies within each of us, but we must be willing to take risks and push ourselves beyond our limits.
Discovering your inner Rinku Singh is a challenging task. It requires a willingness to step outside your comfort zone and take on challenges that may seem insurmountable. But the rewards of doing so are immeasurable. Not only will you be able to achieve great things, but you will also inspire others to do the same.
So, how can you discover your inner Rinku Singh? The first step is to start taking risks. Don’t hesitate to step outside your comfort zone and try something new. It could be something as small as speaking up in a meeting or something as big as taking on a new project in which you have yet to gain experience. Whatever it is, take that first step and see where it leads you.
The second step is to believe in yourself. Rinku Singh didn’t hit those five consecutive sixes because he doubted himself. He did it because he had the belief that he could. So, believe in yourself and your abilities. Don’t let self-doubt hold you back from achieving greatness.
The third step is to stay focused. It’s easy to get distracted by the day-to-day tasks we all have to deal with, but if you want to achieve something great, you must stay focused on your goals. Set clear objectives for yourself and remain committed to achieving them.
In conclusion, discovering your inner Rinku Singh is challenging, but it is possible. We all have the potential to achieve greatness, but we must be willing to take risks, believe in ourselves, and stay focused on our goals.
So, take that first step today and start discovering the Rinku in you.
Who knows, you may surprise yourself and achieve something truly remarkable.
