Small yet mighty steps
When I was growing up, I saw my mom being ever-so dynamic. She was a true hustler in every possible context. She used to go out there and get things done. My dad on the other hand would always motivate me to think bigger. He would inspire me to close my eyes and have a vision that surpasses my immediate needs and desires – something which touches my heart and brings good to all around.
While my father propelled my ability to have a bigger vision, my mother always motivated me to take a step, put myself out there and get things done. This was a great personality contrast that I witnessed early on in my life and helped me to attain the best of both sides in my own personality.
Though, I was inherently backed by my two fundamental elements for being successful–being a visionary along with dynamism, I did not have much concrete in my life until a global leader himself emerged in life, Gurudev Sri Sri Ravi Shankar whom I lovingly call “Guruji”.
I vividly remember the first thing I ever asked him, “ Is there anything that I can do?”
He went ahead and said, “START TAKING IT UP”
That was the moment when I finally realized why I am waiting for someone to come up to me and tell me what to do. I can do it NOW! I can begin my journey NOW!
At that time, I was in the midst of a flourishing career and a stable job. I was receiving pretty good money. But somehow I was shaken by what I am here for? I wasn’t satisfied, even when things were under my control. I had found my calling to take up something to hustle with.
The biggest learning I received from my parents and my Guru is keep on dreaming big and broadening the vision. My dreams have now surpassed the periphery of what I want for myself or my immediate family. They have reached the pedestal of bringing global good and empowering people.
There is an insurmountable joy in building other people. Building something which goes beyond your logical comprehension. When you see a project blossoming right in front of your eyes, you feel extremely joyful. You only have good hopes and this feeling is exhilarating.
Leadership is attained by example. Not hogging the limelight!
Over all these years of working with people from diverse backgrounds, I have learnt that it is important for a leader to be sensible but also sensitive at the same time. As a leader I have always envisioned how it feels to be in another person’s shoes.
Nurturing a project isn’t just about acquiring maximum leads or a good ROI. It is about slowly and patiently building people around you with sensitivity and sensibility.
For me, leading a team begins with keeping my moral and work ethics intact while being dynamic in chasing my goals.
Leadership is attained by being an example, not hogging the limelight! It is all about inspiring people through following your own path and unique troubleshooting methods.
There is a JOY in building PEOPLE
More than ‘Team building’, I ardently believe in the idea of ‘PEOPLE BUILDING’. For me, it begins with finding people who can work with me, and align their own personal goals with my goals and vision for the team.
It is slowly broadening their horizons and empowering them with daily doses of information and creativity; so that they can come up with bigger and better ideas and become “Leaders” themselves.
