What is Servant Leadership? Why many Indian leaders are not embracing this approach despite its benefits. Servant Leadership, as popularized by Robert K. Greenleaf, prioritizes the growth and well-being of team members over traditional hierarchical structures. Characteristics of Servant Leaders: 1) Empathy: Understanding and valuing team members' feelings and perspectives. 2) Listening: Actively seeking input to enhance collaboration and trust. 3) Commitment to Growth: Investing in the personal and professional development of others. 4) Community Building: Fostering a sense of teamwork and belonging. Despite its advantages, many Indian leaders stick to traditional styles due to: 1) Cultural Norms: India's deep-rooted hierarchical structures hinder the adoption of collaborative leadership. According to a survey by Deloitte, 76% of Indian organizations still rely on top-down decision-making processes.  2) Focus on Results: Short-term financial gains overshadow long-term employee development in 80% of Indian companies, as per McKinsey report. 3) Resistance to Change: Implementing servant leadership faces skepticism and pushback in organizations. #Leadership #ServantLeadership #BusinessCulture #Collaboration #EmployeeDevelopment #ChangeManagement

A recent article by Rimjhim Singh sheds light on the evolving landscape of functional leadership hires at Global Capabilities Centers (GCCs) in India. The piece highlights a compelling shift towards creating centers of excellence, establishing business differentiators for the parent company, and driving digital transformation. These new-age leaders, GCCs that I choose to call the H. Sapiens, are distinct from their predecessors with a keen focus on maximizing the benefits of a globalized workforce. Unlike the traditional model characterized by inefficiency, the H. Sapiens are embracing globalization to its fullest potential.

This #weekendreads is about Transformative leadership. It caught my attention since our forthcoming #HBA India Leadership Summit is all about this! As India goes through the current growth trajectory & transformation, it’s imperative to ensure that we are ready to ride this wave to lead, to innovate and to create possibilities for our leaders.   I believe one of the key pillars of this #Transformative leadership is to prioritize #diversityandinclusion. It is not just a moral imperative but also a business strategy that helps to drive innovation and growth. By embracing the strengths and perspectives of a #diverse leadership team, companies can navigate complex challenges, seize opportunities, and thrive in today’s competitive landscape with differentiative #possibilities. Diverse leadership emphasizes on a vision and a commitment to creating an inclusive and diverse workplace. It offers an #arena to bring a variety of perspectives, experiences and ideas to the table. People from different backgrounds, #culture, and level are able to offer novel and unique solutions to the same problem. Additionally, having the diverse minds challenge these unique solutions leads to identifying the risks, ensuring that decisions are critically evaluated and challenged. This inclusive environment where all employees feel valued and heard can lead to higher levels of #engagement and #productivity. It also attracts top talent, thus helping to build a strong and dynamic #workforce. It’s a win-win situation! This diverse yet inclusive approach to leadership ensures that organizations are not only equipped to adapt and grow, but also positioned to lead with #purpose and #impact. This will enable us to create successful leaders as we #progress! #leadershipbyexample #imaginebelieveachieve

Looking forward to this conversation exploring how EQ is the key factor for leaders in India… and beyond!

How emotionally intelligent is your leadership? And why should leaders focus on practising emotional intelligence? In case you don't already know: EQ is the differentiator between star and average performers at senior executive level - and a critical skill for the 21st century, according to the World Economic Forum. Join me in discussing emotionally intelligent leadership and what that looks like in India - with three leaders in different fields and with extensive experience of working across India.

Here’s a question that keeps me up at night: Why do most firms in India treat leadership development as a tick-box task? As someone who’s spent years designing and delivering leadership programs, this contrast feels personal. I’ve seen companies abroad invest months in crafting programs that create lasting change, while in India, we often rush to find quick fixes that check the "training completed" box. Why does this happen? Here are some reflections: 1. Mindset Gap: Firms abroad see leadership development as a strategic advantage; here, it’s often viewed as a cost. 2. Cultural Factors: Leadership training is sometimes seen as a privilege reserved for a select few. 3. Short-Term Focus: The push for rapid ROI means depth and reflection often take a back seat. 4. Measurement Obsession: We focus on metrics like training hours or workshop feedback over lasting mindset shifts. 5. Resource Constraints: Budget and time pressures drive a preference for efficiency over impact. This isn’t about blame—it’s about a mindset shift. Leadership development isn’t a tick box; it’s the foundation for sustainable growth, innovation, and culture. So, how do we change this narrative? How do we move from quick fixes to meaningful transformation in Indian organizations? It’s a tough but essential conversation. I’d love to hear your thoughts—what have you seen in your organizations? #LeadershipDevelopment #OrganizationalGrowth #LeadershipTraining #MindsetShift #Transformation #IndiaBusiness #LeadershipMatters #GrowthMindset #HRLeaders #TalentDevelopment #LeadershipConsulting
