The Leadership Mirror

As an Executive coach, there is one question I have had to field from leaders across businesses and nations. While on the surface, the query may seem to vary, the essence is more often than not the same. It boils down to them asking, “Jag, what kind of a leader do you think I ought to be?”

Thankfully, John Quincy Adams answered this rather well when he said - Act in a manner that you inspire others to:

Dream more - without which there would be no moonshots, no innovations..nothing

Learn more - so that there is continuous learning (a competence that I regularly urge corporate houses to incorporate within their competency framework)

Do more - so that execution is managed brilliantly....in the absence of which the Dreams would be no more than a fantasy fiddle

Become more - maximizing potential so that followers today become leaders for tomorrow

Amen to that.....
