Words from our Leader

Ashish Chandra
Dear colleagues, President
Plant Head - Dolvi, Salav, Anjar

As we begin 2024, I am filled with immense pride, reflecting on the

incredible achievements and contributions to Mumbai's skyline. As you
know, we were recently honoured to be the principal supplier of steel and
GGBS for India's most extended Trans-Harbour Link project. This 21.8-
kilometre effort is a testament to the dedication of our employees, and it
fills me with immense pride to see our Dolvi-made steel playing such a
vital role in connecting Mumbai and strengthening India’s growth story.

Additionally, JSW Dolvi has achieved a milestone with India's First

National Highway Steel Slag Road, collaborating with CSIR-CRRI and
NHAI. The initiative transforms steel slag into natural aggregates,
aligning with sustainability goals and contributing to the 'Waste to
Wealth' mission, paving the way for a brighter and more sustainable
future.
This year, let's continue building our community and building each other
up. We have a roadmap presenting us with ambitious goals, and I know
with your dedication and teamwork, we'll achieve them all!

Wishing you all Happy Republic Day!

Happy Reading!

A Tale of becoming
Leadership Factory

JSW Group views Talent Management as a vital element of their business strategy,
serving as a structured framework to support their ambitious growth plans and maintain
a sustainable competitive edge.

JSW Steel's Leadership Development Program, encompassing

initiatives like FFL, TLP, YLP, and Springboard, is designed
to prepare leaders for the dynamic corporate landscape. The
"Hipo Lens" evaluates high-potential individuals based on
Agility, Ability, and Aspiration. A holistic approach includes
assessing Character, Capability, Careers, Capabilities, and
Compatibility.

1. Agility: Could individuals adapt to the ever-evolving landscape? Were they nimble in
navigating change and uncertainty?

2. Ability: Did they possess the competence to take on broader and more significant roles?
Were they equipped with the skills needed for the challenges ahead?

3. Aspiration: Were they driven to grow? Did they have the will and the personality to
aspire for more, pushing boundaries and proving their mettle?

But the evaluation didn't stop there. The company adopted a holistic approach, focusing
on five key elements to assess talent thoroughly.

1. Character: Observing the deep preferences, motivations, and personal styles that
determine why individuals do what they do.

2. Capability: Evaluating the intrinsic indicator of potential – predicting how far and fast
an individual could adapt and grow.

3. Careers: Scrutinizing career experiences and expertise, recognising them as the most
visible and accessible ways to assess an individual's ability to perform in a given role.

4. Capabilities: Examining the strong predictors of future performance – understanding

how a leader achieved results, focusing on portable skills across roles and contexts.

5. Compatibility: Probing how well a leader's attributes align with the context of the
organisation and the desired outcomes.

JSW Steel has introduced the Technical Leadership Program as part of its Future
Fit Leaders initiative, aiming to identify, nurture, and empower leaders who are
future-proof and ready to navigate uncertainties. The program is not just a
training ground but a strategic move to build a team of technically superior
leaders prepared to address current gaps and meet future demands. The program
is based on a unique partnership with Carnegie Mellon University in Pittsburgh,
USA, providing leaders with a global perspective and insights.

The Technical Leadership Program is tailored to a precise Technical Competency

Framework, focusing on safety and sustainability, quality assurance, planning,
budgeting, plant operation, domain and process knowledge, and equipment
knowledge. It also focuses on functional competencies, shaping leaders into well-
rounded professionals with business and financial acumen, problem-solving
skills, digital orientation, teamwork collaboration, effective communication, and
decision-making skills.

The Technical Leadership Program at JSW Dolvi Works is a narrative of

foresight, growth, and a commitment to excellence, shaping the future of the
company and its dedicated workforce. The company aims to identify and nurture
a pool of 70 Technical Leaders in the fiscal year 2022-2023 who will become
mentors for the next generation, ensuring a sustainable pipeline of technical
excellence for years.

In the heart of the dynamic Iron and Agglomeration Zone, where precision meets molten
metal, our journey is shaped not only by the molten metal but also by the exceptional
dedication of each team member. As the Iron & Agglo Zone leader, I take immense pride
in creating a culture of recognition through the JSW Spotlight initiative. This beacon
shines on both technical prowess and compassionate camaraderie.

Recognition, to me, is the heartbeat of a high-functioning department. It goes beyond

acknowledging achievements; it is about honouring the technical acumen, collaborative
spirit, and sheer determination that define our success. In this segment of molten metal
and precision, compassion becomes the bridge that connects the technicalities of our work
with the humanity behind the process. Technical and behavioural parameters are tall
among the criteria when evaluating employees in the entire zone.

For me, employee recognition is not just about patting back. It's about nurturing a culture
of compassion, a value I hold dear. Compassion isn't just about empathy; it's about taking
action and going beyond your tasks to see the bigger picture, the human element behind
the production numbers. It's about celebrating individual strengths, nurturing potential,
and creating an environment where everyone feels valued and heard.

And at this moment, JSW Spotlight empowers me to do just that. It allows me to express
my appreciation and sincere gratitude to all the exceptional contributors.
Recognition isn't a handout; it's an investment. It fuels motivation, fosters collaboration,
and strengthens the bonds that make us a team. It's the oil that keeps the machinery of
excellence running smoothly.

JSW Spotlight, with its badges like “Agility”, “Courage”, “Collaboration”, etc., gives us a
language to express this appreciation for the diverse ways our people contribute. It allows
us to celebrate the human stories that make JSW Steel an extraordinary place.

So, as I continue to lead my team, I'll keep using JSW Spotlight

as a powerful tool to foster compassion and recognition.
And in our Zone, the fuel keeps the machinery of
excellence running seamlessly.
