Lessons I wished would have learnt 10 years ago

As we progress through the myriads of everyday life, some reflections on the lessons I wished would have learnt 10 years ago

1. Brilliant execution of a simple idea is more valuable and profitable than a complex problem solved with agonizing perfection

2. The human brain can be trained and conditioned and we can release ourselves from the clutches of our past if we want.Difficult though this may be it is not impossible.

3. Bramha creates everything,Vishnu sustains & preserves and Maheshwara is the destroyer of all order so that renewal can take place... Leadership mindset required for each of the above is unique.
Lookout for your strength and never indulge in all the three at the same time.

4. If you are a high achiever in the organization or public life but have ordinary needs ,fears,anxieties and vulnerabilities,you are not alone.If you manage or report to high flyers ,you are certain to encounter this side to them.

5. In today's business world it is not enough to learn from your customer ,supplier and your competitors;sometimes the most impactful knowledge could come from someone who is not in business at all

6. Transparency is the key in any organization.It is important for a leader to regularly publish what is on his mind to entire set of next level employee.

7. As a leader ,we should be a critical questioner and reviewer and also must be the ultimate sense-maker

8. People who do not possess a personal vision or purpose will find it impossible to build an organizational vision

9. The brilliant minds of high achievers sometimes prove to be a liability for them. When they get something wrong, they get it very wrong

10. The US president is one of the most powerful people in the world not because he is the perfect leader,but because he surrounds himself with outstanding  men and women who make up for his shortcomings
