An honest Leadership Strategy

TALKING OF LEADERSHIP STRATEGY, 

Why can't any organisation just say this: 

*Building an ethical organaisation that treats the welfare of the customers as first and foremost, earning reasonable profit as just reward for honest endeavour.*

And no, we don't want to scale, except slowly and naturally, too much aspiration is nothing but greed,

We don't want to be sustainable in the sense of satisfying every passing woke fad,

We don't necessarily want to be technology centric or people centric; the first will be driven by necessity and the second will come naturally; 

We don't want to emphasise on innovation as a goal to be followed, for most people don't know what that means, 

We don't want to emphasise on growth; we want to emphasise on living and evolving.


STRATEGY?


MASTER CLASS IN MANAGEMENT 

The is this ad is from today's TOI. 

Ram Charan is offering a master class for C- suite ( or C suit, maybe the pun is intentional) executives, to drive "exponential" ( arithmetic  won't cut it any more, linear graphs are passe) whatever. 

Presumably, at the end of the session, the C suite leaders will come up with a "leadership strategy".

They don't need to waste their time. I just compiled what the four great leaders who are quoted in the ad ( no doubt his students)  have said, and made a template for making Leadership Strategies. The template has been solely derived from this ad alone, there is no external input, mind it!
