I fully concur that in cross-functional teams, it is not the person with the power who has the influence, but it is the person with the influence has the power #DESMDM

A few years back, I read about the 5 C’s of effective leadership; Creativity, Curiosity, Compassion, Conviction, Communicate. The unprecedented crisis in 2020, made me believe more in them. #DESMDM

In kindergarten soccer game we & our teammates would run after the same ball, later we learned to stay in our position but got unhappy as we wanted to kick the ball, now, we learned that it is what you do off the ball that has the most impact on the outcome for your team.#DESMDM

Watched-Everyday Creativity by Dewitt Jones. Very Inspiring to see how creativity is a matter of perspective. There is always more than 1 right answer. We just need to change our perspectives, put a different lens & we would be able to reframe problems into opportunities.#DESMDM

If you always do what you’ve always done, you’ll always get what you’ve always got. Embracing change is a strategic imperative in this VUCA world. It's all about reframing problems into opportunities & turning a win/lose situation into a win/learn situation.

As leaders, we often overestimate the magnitude of the problem & underestimate the team capabilities.
We must create a phycological safe environment, where the weakest link in the team should be able to speak up & present ideas. Leaders don't just inform, they involve. #DESMDM

@ronincrank I once got an opportunity to meet the Legendary Sam Bahadur Manekshaw, briefly in Wellington. He was indeed a Charismatic Personality !!

Wonder how Leadership plays out in the Army. They don’t have incentives like 'Soldier of the month', 'spot bonus', etc. Still, each soldier knows the commander’s intent. They know how to assume orders when there is no order. Is that a very different flavor of leadership?#DESMDM

Fast & Frugal…. No, it’s not the 10th one in the series of ‘Fast & Furious’. I am planning to get introduced to it with the help of Mr. Malcolm Gladwell’s ‘Blink’. You all must try too.#DESMDM

Reflecting on the last few informative and inspiring sessions on Decision making by @Sreedhari_Desai
and have learned a little about “deciding, how to decide”, still pondering if it’s an art or a science, or rather a blend of both. #DESMDM
