Resilience
Happened to read recently – ‘The difference between winners and losers is how they handle losing’. Resilience.. Persistence.. pays.
Leadership
Execution
Any strategy or plan is as good as it is executed. Excellence in execution matters. Maintaining momentum, keeping oneself engaged, excited and energised through the execution phase – difficult, yet crucial..
Application
All leaders ‘know’ what a leader needs to be.. All Managers ‘know’ what a manager needs to be.. Yet, on live situations, when action is called for, it remains a challenge to apply the ‘known’ skills / qualities.. Outcomes get impacted.. How do we address this? Could I be more aware, conscious, next time?
Lifelong learners
Happened to read about ‘Lifelong learning’ – a key attribute that keeps successful leaders alive and kicking.. Lifelong learners keep pushing themselves out of the comfort zones.. are open to new ideas, are ready to listen… perform truthful reflections.. keep themselves abreast of the environment..
Adding
Often we aspire to add many things to our (already packed) routine / regime.. The hard reality though, is that unless we subtract something, it is difficult to add anything..
Plan
We spend lot of time thinking and planning ‘what to do’. Also important is to think and plan ‘what to stop doing / what not to do’…
Leader
When you become a leader success is all about growing others – Jack Welch. Growing others – while at that, demonstration helps.. Walking the talk, aligning thoughts, words and actions.. So relevant, in this journey.
Learning
Setbacks may happen. Professional, personal.. What also happens with each of them is learnings. Let us look for it. Let us not miss it.
Reflection
Reflection. Truthful tool in one’s journey. Do I reflect enough? Am I reflecting too much?? Helps in bringing about the highest and the best in us.
Excellence
Individual excellence and collective brilliance – something that every leader and the teams love to work towards.. Then, where is it getting lost? As a leader, how do I traverse this path? Chasing that common goal, broader good.. Reigning over individual priorities / preferences / likes / dislikes / egos..
