Discovering Leadership Traits
Starting From: 13/02/2019

Overview:

“Leadership is lifting a person’s vision to high sights, the raising of a person’s performance to a higher standard, the building of a personality beyond its normal limitations.” – Peter Drucker 

Training today has several euphemistic identities such as L&D, Capability Building, Talent Development etc. Starting in the 70s with training in interpersonal skills to leadership coaching today, there is very little to show by way of actual behavior change. ESat Surveys and 360 Feedback systems continue to indicate the top-down, autocratic styles by which enterprise is managed by owners and individuals in positions of authority. We are threatened by inner ‘fears’ that do not permit us to explore innovate; consequently, as a nation with 1.4 Cr population, we are 150th in the Global Innovation Index. Make in India will translate to make spare-parts for manufacturing MNCs, and body-shopping by BFSI and domestic IT firms. It is in this context that a few of us from across the world have begun leadership coaching using perspectives from neuro-psychology and psychoanalysis, and are able to demonstrate and capture empirical data about behavior change.
