Leadership is an Inside Job
Leadership is an inside journey of transformation rather than a simple set of skills. Leadership is about having the clarity of conscience and the courage to act for the greater good even when it’s socially dangerous to do so. Leaders must therefore work towards developing self-awareness, impulse control, humility, and the courage to be vulnerable and, at times, disliked.

About Leadership in Action
“Leadership requires knowing how to journey within, knowing how to come into your own. You can't lead anyone or anything if you don't know what's leading you.”
― Nilima Bhat - Author of Shakti Leadership
“Everybody wants to be somebody,
but nobody wants to grow... ”
― Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
"Leadership is not a license to do less. Leadership is a responsibility to do more. There is a cost to lead. True leaders are willing to pay the price: sacrifice self-interest and put their Cause ahead of themselves."
Simon Sinek - Author of Leaders Eat Last and Start with the Why
“Most conflicts we have with others can be traced back to a part of ourselves that we haven't fully owned.”
― Nilima Bhat - Author of Shakti Leadership
“A brave leader is someone who says I see you. I hear you. I don’t have all the answers, but I’m going to keep listening and asking questions.”
- Brene Brown - Author of Dare to Lead
"There are three ways to improve your team’s motive-based trust in you: self-disclosure, demonstrating fairness, and acting with integrity.”
― Tasha Eurich - Author of Bankable Leadership & Insight
In short, we needed to shift our thinking and teaching about values-driven leadership from asking the question "What is the right thing to do?" to asking and answering the question "Once I know what I believe is right, how do I get it done?"
