11:11 Tuesdays by Vaishali Wagle November 10, 2026 Happy 11:11 Tuesdays Reader, Here are 1 Thought, 1 Quote, 1 Word and 1 Humour for you to reflect upon this week. 1.ThoughtA senior leader rarely has the luxury of working with only those who they like or trust. Because, some of the hardest influence situations aren’t about disagreement. They’re about dependence. You need someone to support an initiative and you know they have influence, but you don’t particularly trust them. The instinct is often to avoid them, work around them, or try to win them over. Instead, a more useful perspective could be: Can I build enough working trust to collaborate, even if I don’t have personal trust? A technique that works is: Find the shared stake. Before trying to persuade them, ask: “What outcome would make this worthwhile for you?” You may discover that the person isn’t an obstacle at all. They’re protecting something you hadn’t considered. You don’t have to agree with their agenda to understand it. You don’t need to trust someone’s motives to create clarity around their interests.

Thought At some point, even your cupboards have had enough of your perfectionism. Diwali cleaning has a pattern. The first hour is productive. You clear the clutter, find things you forgot you owned, and feel wonderfully accomplished. Three hours later, you’re reorganising a drawer that nobody has opened since Diwali last year....

Locals began breeding cobras to collect the reward. When the government canceled the...

Thought The three KPIs you missed can overshadow the seven you delivered. A team member achieves seven out of ten goals. The seven wins become background. The three misses become the main story. That's Zeigarnik Effect, which suggests that unfinished tasks tend to hold our attention more strongly than completed ones. In...
