Thought Manager, Parent and Politician are three critical roles in the society, yet most people take on this roles with no training.

When a leader grows, sometimes the identity doesn't catchup. The leader behaves as per the growth expectations, but deep down, the old identity remains.

Thought Most leadership debates reduce management styles to extremes — micromanagement vs. empowerment. But the truth is, neither is right, neither is wrong. Both are incomplete on their own.

Thought Decision making is becoming more complex because there are lesser constants and many more variables these days. So, indecision often disguised as diligence creeps in.
