M. DAMODARAN
As we look around us, we find countless examples of organizations
and individuals within them that are underperforming in relation to
their expectations and of those who are adversely impacted by such
underperformance. The gap between potential and performance is
often mindboggling. It is this realisation and the urge to contribute
towards addressing this problem, at a time when India is poised for
moving centre stage in a world full of challenges, that has prompted
Meleveetil Damodaran, a person with more than four decades of
widely varied experience including leadership positions in several
organisations, to set up Excellence Enablers. Excellence Enablers
sees itself as a partner in the journey towards improved
performance. A number of individuals with several decades of
experience and a shared passionate commitment to excellence are
a part of this endeavour.

Excellence Enablers seeks to bridge the gap between potential and

performance in individuals by providing mentoring and coaching.
For organisations, the customised offerings would include support
in the form of improving Board performance, with inputs ranging
from advising on Board composition to carrying out Board
evaluation. training of directors, capsules on leadership, time
management. Succession planning and organizational restructuring
would be offered as part of a comprehensive package or on a stand-
alone basis.
