Leadership Traits Of An Entrepreneur

I quit investment banking and chose to change my field and focus my work to develop people and their talent. When I look back at these five years, there have been many downs and up. And yet, when I look back, I've learnt a lot, especially, through my bad times, not only about myself but about life, leadership, people and about the challenges of running a business. I share with you, some of my insights:   1.Resilience Medically, I have thought myself to be resilient. I am a juvenile diabetic since the age of 8 and the medical challenges that I have faced during the course of my life, I have faced with courage determination and resilience. I learnt, that I need to be equally resilient, in my business, to never give up, but yet, to let go. I learnt that I do have the resilience, every time, I have had to believe in myself and overcome a challenge.

The One Trait Every Human Being Must Have

Recently, I delivered a workshop to 400 university students. There were two sessions and each session was attended by approximately 400 students. The duration of each session was for 2 hours. Since the number in the audience was large, this workshop would be different in that it would involve least amount of interaction or group activities. In the first session, I had planned on some interaction by way of asking questions, or having them discuss some of the questions asked or doing the activity with the person sitting next to them. I realized that even this limited interaction was not yielding the desired results.

In session 2, the topic was the same as session 1 and thus the content was the same. Based on what I observed in Session 1, I realized that I have to change my structure, examples and make the presentation as a lecture but in a conversational style, to achieve the desired impact. I had to adapt to the requirements on the fly, had to think on my feet, yet remain calm and impactful. [Tweet "#Adaptability is a

“Resilience” And You

“Everything will be all right in the end. If it’s not all right, then it’s not the end.” Unknown For me this quote is a gentle reminder of building resiliency. Resiliency and character is built through tough time and adversities. Resilience draws from strength of character, from a core set of values that motivates you to make efforts to achieve your vision. It helps you to overcome setbacks and bounce back on the path of success. You need to be self-aware, have self-control and acknowledge there is a set back and be willing to persist. In an organizational capacity, resilience is the ability to pick yourself up despite the hurdles because you are responsible for others and see yourself as a support to others. In several organizations and in the political arena of many countries, you hear statements like the growth will be maintained amidst numbers consistently proving otherwise. You continue to hear positive futuristic statements and that it is “business as usual”. However, reality is that no effort is being made to review, examine, critique and change the path to achieve the goals or work towards promoting the economy of the country or the growth of the Company.
