5 Leadership Lessons from Narendra Modi


One of the best leader of current time is no doubt our own Prime Minister Shree Narendra Modi. Many times, he has shown true quality of an enlightened leader. Whether selling his vision or tea or any sarcastic comments by opposition, he always score 100%.
Here is 5 leadership lesson which we can learn from Narendra Modi:
1.       Be Visionary and you must have full trust in your vision
We have seen many leaders but very few of them are true visionary. Narendra Modi for the very first time, given a vision for Developed India, Corruption Free India, Prosperous India, Digital India. There are many like me who for the first time feel a sense of greatness in Modi vision and came forward whole heartedly to support in whatever way is possible.
Be it Demonetization,  Voluntary submission of Gas Subsidy, Aadhar Linking, Surgical Strike, GST, Triple Talaq etc., people of India fully supported without making much hue and cry. The reason is very clear, every Indian want a developed and corruption free country.
Modi took all bold decision with courage and full ownership. This boldness and courage provided the rocket thrust to his vision. No scam so far in his government. All national and international rating agencies have upgraded their prospective for Indian economy. All this happen in just 3 years under Narendra Modi leadership.
If you have trust in your vision and your intention are honest, good, you can transform Coal Mines into Diamond Mines.
2.       Be Honest and must delegate with accountability
Narendra Modi ensure that:
o  His cabinet will have competent & honest people including Cabinet Secretary &  Ministers
o   Prime Minister Office (PMO) provided the accountability framework to ensure all initiatives are time-bound and within budget.
o   PMO is being informed by respective department (ministry) but independence of taking decision was autonomous by respective Minister and its office.
3.       Convert Threat and Weakness into your Strength and Opportunity
When opposition party blame and abuse Narendra Modi either by calling tea seller, Neech, Maut ka Saudagar, Khoon Ka Dalal etc., he took all these jibes in a very positive way (its show his greatness and wisdom) and convert these coal mines into gold mines for connecting with people and ensuring more support for his party.  
This is only possible when one see the opportunity in a grave situation like when people are trying to pull you apart by demotivating you (either by personal attack or backbiting etc.)
4.       Create a right successor
Narendra Modi knows that vision of “Great India” will take time and he is not going to hold the office for that much time (due to his age and also to set precedence for future leader). He already identified his successor and started his grooming so that his successor can lead India with the same zeal, spirit and vision.
A true leader never create a leadership vacuum until the mission is realized.
5.       Time Bound Decision and Goal
Narendra Modi ensure that all the goal for the development of country are time bound and respective ministry should be held accountable for timely completion. There should not be any excuses or blame game across stakeholders. He set his expectation with each of the stakeholders and PMO accountability framework ensure coordination, cooperation. He ensure that project should not get delayed because of bureaucracy or ego clash. He set the right tone at different milestone so that message should be clear for each of his ministers.

You can make the change in your company or life by adopting these 5 lessons in your lifestyle or leadership style. One very valuable lesson is - leader must respect people without looking at people stature or position. He must treat them in a same way as s/he like to be treated.

Be the Change and Build a Super India - STOP BLAMING OTHERS

After the loss of BJP in Bihar I felt very angry (not Sad). Instead of shouting on the TV set and Social Media, I thought to pen my emotions. One question that comes to my mind is, “Do we really want to Change India and Build Super India?", and the answer that comes to my mind is "Yes". The next thought is about “How” and not “Cow”! What is your thought on “How”? Are you thinking that by selecting our government and our leader and then expecting him to work like superman and give us “Super India”? Do you think that it is possible? Once again rethink on my question “How can we make India a Super India?”  Do you remember what Gandhi said – Be the change that we want to see in the society and it will start from us, our family and then it will happen in society, district, state and then the whole nation. Even our Prime Minister Mr Narendra Modi emphasis so much on the duty of every Indian or citizen. Initiatives such as “Swachh Bharat Abhiyan”, “Ganga Cleaning”, “...

Two things which I learn from Sigmund Freud?

I love reading and knowing about the human mind. Any opportunity to know thy will take you closer to Thy. In my voyage to know more about myself, I am happy to share my learning when I read Sigmund Freud. This article presents key ideas which will help one to know more about their actions and thinking. If you like to connect on ideas or discuss such a topic with me, please feel free to message me. Our everyday mind Everyday mind or more precisely (every second mind) is your conscious mind. As per Freud, the conscious exists at "superficial level" (or I will call "Maya"), to which we have easy and immediate access. Beneath the conscious mind lies the powerful dimensions of the unconscious. All our active cognitive state and behaviour are dictated by this powerhouse of the unconscious mind. Every thought originates from your unconscious mind. Not everything becomes consciously known; much of what is unconscious remains there. Memories that are not in our every day ...
