Key Takeaways

• Leaders should have courage to do right things irrespective of the situation and
consequences.
• Leaders are navigators. They navigate the team through their decisions.
• At times when leaders also don’t know what to be done – They seek advice from the
right people i.e., they know their whom to approach and when to approach.
• Leaders can’t afford two luxuries – being lazy and procrastinator. They are ought to be
proactive, visionaries, and forward thinkers.
• Leader’s job is to plan and plan continuously.
• It’s a big misnomer that leadership is about titles. What you do and how you do make
you a leader not what your designation is.
• Leaders are humble and they become so by burning their ego.
• Leaders are often exposed to the toxicity. (No place is perfect; toxicity do exist)
• So, to counter the above leaders at times have to be their own therapists and need to
mend themselves of the toxicity.
• Leaders do bring balance by creating boundaries – like a simple thing of limiting your
social media time to give time to other aspects. So, leaders are balance in their mind.
• Leaders do not micromanage, often they provide space to others to take decisions and be
their own leaders.
• Leaders do aid other in being leader.
• Empathy is one of the important traits of leadership.
• Leaders do follow a path of 3G’s
Goals → Gratitude → Growth – Setting goals give you clarity. Achieving goals leads to
gratitude and gratitude in turn leads to growth.
