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

Throughout history, aspiring leaders have often received guidance suggesting that to rise to senior management positions, particularly within the C-suite, they must exemplify what is known as "Executive Presence" (EP). But what does Executive Presence and Leadership mean for the world today – amidst evolving landscapes, including deepening political divisions and the ascendancy of digital platforms like Zoom and Instagram?

🚨 Leadership Gaps Holding IT Companies Back in India? 🚨 The IT industry is booming, but many companies are silently struggling with a key challenge: lack of leadership training. This gap affects first-time leaders, impacting both performance and team morale.

Imposter Syndrome =============== According to a CEO survey conducted by global executive search and leadership consulting firm Korn Ferry, increasing pressure from company promoters and boards, heightened regulatory risks, constant scrutiny in a digital age and a disruptive business environment are leading to many top bosses experiencing an "imposter syndrome" - a feeling of being stretched too far beyond their abilities. Nearly three quarters of the CEOs surveyed in India acknowledge having faced this problem, show the findings shared with ET. This number was 58% globally. #leadership

You know you’ve found your calling when your work becomes more than just a profession—it becomes your passion and purpose. This realization hit me recently during a two-day intervention with one of the leading private sector banks in the country. I had the privilege to train and coach a dynamic group of department and branch heads from various regions across India. What struck me most was their enthusiasm and commitment to the leadership development program. The energy in the room was electrifying as we dived into key topics like delegation, team building, trust and credibility, time management, goal setting, and the art of delivering constructive feedback. The participants were fully engaged, and the interactive sessions sparked insightful discussions, collaborative learning, and real transformations. It was inspiring to see 25 leaders actively participating in activities that not only challenged their perspectives but also brought forward new strategies for growth. The level of engagement during these two days was extraordinary, and I am grateful to have been part of their journey. This session wasn’t just about imparting knowledge, but about mutual learning and growing together. Wishing this incredible team continued success and growth in their leadership paths. #leadershipdevelopment #passionandpurpose #corporatecoaching #delegation #teambuilding #trustbuilding #credibility #goalsetting #feedbackskills #timemanagement #leadersofindia #privatebanking #growthmindset #professionaldevelopment

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

Indian CEOs Are the Best Globally: A Testament to Leadership Excellence Indian-origin CEOs are leading some of the world’s most influential companies, from tech giants like Google and Microsoft to major corporations like IBM and Adobe. Their leadership is a reflection of India’s strong educational foundations, work ethic, and adaptability.
