Full Life Leadership Framework

One of the Satyam’s most distinguishing practice is the Full Life Leadership Framework, where leadership is extended to cover over 1500 ‘Young Leaders’. Satyam has divided the organization into more than 1500 Full Life Cycle Businesses (FLCBs), and each of these FLCBs is managed by a Full Life Cycle Leader (FLCL), operating much like a CEO, having an ‘end-to-end ownership’ of the business. Apart from providing leadership opportunity and a chance to manage his own business, this also builds a solid leadership pipeline for Satyam. The core culture of Satyam, best represented as the SatyamWayTM orthe “way we do things at Satyam”, applies to every Associate at Satyam. This acts as a framework for everything they do at Satyam – from the way they organize themselves, to how they interact with one another, to creating a sustainable, fast growing and a profitable organisation.

Ratnesh reiterates, “As a guideline, we believe Associates can bemost effective by spending equal portions of their time on thinking, doing and communicating, which are the fundamental elements of value creation at Satyam.” And the essence of SatyamWay lies in empowering Associates by matching them to the right opportunities. By dividing the company into many logical parts (FLCBs) and allowing the leaders of these divisions to operate much like the CEOs of independent businesses (FLCLs), Satyam distributes the responsibilities of day-to-day leadership of the company, in order to bring decision-making closer to action and thereby create more leadership opportunities for these Associates.
