Re-imagining Leadership
Traditionally, leadership is seen as a matter of authority and hierarchy, with top positions viewed as the hallmark of effective leaders. However, leadership is slowly being redefined as a dynamic, accessible influence and not just a title. In today’s world, leadership is tied to social responsibility, inclusivity, and addressing global challenges. It involves inspiring others to join and contribute to a shared vision, cultivating a culture of co-creation rather than mere followership.
From an Indian philosophical standpoint, true leadership starts with self-leadership, encompassing self-awareness, alignment with broader goals, and finding personal purpose. This inside-out approach significantly boosts one’s capacity to lead effectively and make a meaningful impact.
Everyone has latent leadership qualities that can be nurtured and personal styles can be discovered.
