What is Servant Leadership? Why many Indian leaders are not embracing this approach despite its benefits. Servant Leadership, as popularized by Robert K. Greenleaf, prioritizes the growth and well-being of team members over traditional hierarchical structures. Characteristics of Servant Leaders: 1) Empathy: Understanding and valuing team members' feelings and perspectives. 2) Listening: Actively seeking input to enhance collaboration and trust. 3) Commitment to Growth: Investing in the personal and professional development of others. 4) Community Building: Fostering a sense of teamwork and belonging. Despite its advantages, many Indian leaders stick to traditional styles due to: 1) Cultural Norms: India's deep-rooted hierarchical structures hinder the adoption of collaborative leadership. According to a survey by Deloitte, 76% of Indian organizations still rely on top-down decision-making processes.  2) Focus on Results: Short-term financial gains overshadow long-term employee development in 80% of Indian companies, as per McKinsey report. 3) Resistance to Change: Implementing servant leadership faces skepticism and pushback in organizations. #Leadership #ServantLeadership #BusinessCulture #Collaboration #EmployeeDevelopment #ChangeManagement

True leadership goes beyond just strategy and success. It’s about aligning the heart, body, mind, and soul for a deeper, more meaningful impact. When leaders embrace spirituality and selflessness, they can move past transactional relationships and create lasting connections. This approach isn’t just for leaders it applies to everyone seeking balance and purpose." - Dr. Ramaswami Balasubramaniam, Member HR, Capacity Building Division, Government of Bharat shares his thoughts on this holistic view of leadership in our conversation with our chairperson Jayanthi Yeshwant Kumar.

When Managers Transistion to Leaders #Managers transistion to #Leaders when they start believing and commiting to inspiring their teams into 'Self Leadership' and not just followers. Followership creates only more Managers. India as a 'Talent Center' needs more #SelfLeaders than Managers. Self Leadership: Adopt #change as a way of #living and #working. It's discomfort will lead to only positive outcomes Accept #failures and move on: It unburdens the anxiety of #socialperception. There is not a single Succsesful Leader on the planet, who has not experienced failures. It's only something that didn't work well, but made one discover what can work well. So it's still a masked opportunity Question #StautusQuo. Stagnancy only leads to negativity over time Beleive there is always a better perspective, better method. Adopting them will lead oneself to be a better person and leader #Visualise: No matter what your circumstances, believe you are good and can get better. Everything is figurable Our country as a 'Talent Center' needs more Self Leaders than Managers and Followers, to become the 'Future Talent Magnet' to attract the best of the world. #Leadership #SelfLeadership

#Guestcolumn #Servantleadership When you are transparent about what you want, willing to give others the opportunity, support and ready to listen to what they say, you will be trusted as a leader without asserting the leadership. A leader's true value is now judged by the number of people he/she had groomed for future leadership roles or the people that has been empowered to pusue their dreams While all the technology stack - tools and platforms will always enable leaders in their charter, they need to focus on the EQ component that will be the ultimate clincher. More about the leadership trends in the article that was published in the latest issue of Business India magazine. #Servantleadership #organizationalvalue #workethics #trust #selfless #customercentricity #customerexperience Sohinee Chattopadhyay Shubesh Ravindran Abhijit Majumdar ANUJ SINGHAL Subhas Desai Dipankar Chakrabarti Sanjay Mohapatra Dr Rachana Chowdhary Sumer Biswas Rajiv Vaishnav Sudhanshu Garg Uday Sanghani Amal Kumar Das Subhamoy C.

“I want to have more impact as a leader”. Most people say this when they join The Boardroom™ They know they can do more and be more as a leader, but everything they have tried has been temporary or has holes in it. When Ghazal joined, she wanted to figure out how to have more impact with the rest of her career. She was already successful as a leader but knew there was something missing. It was her ability to influence others. She had one goal. “Help me teach women how to be powerful leaders”. In 8 weeks, she went from someone who wanted desperately to influence the people around her to having the quiet confidence of knowing how to help people from a deeper, more meaningful level. Now, she is prepared to create massive impact in the lives of others simply because she stood back and said "It is time". Let's be honest... It is time. You and I both know it is time for you to become the leader you want to become. One who changes lives, creates an environment where greatness flows, and influences your entire organization to reach new levels. If you are ready to become that type of leader, simply comment “It’s time” below and I will send you the details. Here is to the leader you are just about to become and the lives you are about to change for the better. Jay “Massive Impact” Timms #leadership #innovation #influence

Distinguishing between imposter syndrome and a short term, lack of confidence is crucial for women in leadership. I find this comes up frequently when high performing women take on exciting new executive and C-suite leadership roles. You're a highly competent woman who has demonstrated this through repeated career success and find yourself in a situation where you're being challenged to learn and adapt rapidly in situations that are unfamiliar and full of ambiguity. The pressure to perform is immense and feedback on performance is absent. This is the time to recognise that taking on this new challenge demonstrates your confidence and now you need to own the ambition that brought you here, your femininity and leadership and your power in this new position.
