The session on Self Leadership by Anil Sir was indeed an insightful one. 'Emotional Intelligence' was the main topic under discussion. It is indeed absolutely true that long term success of people is largely determined by Emotional Quotient (EQ) rather than just Intelligence Quotient (IQ).
Great personalities are revered not because of their plain competence, but largely because of their values, attitudes and ability to empathize with others and practice 'authentic leadership', which is much about being candid and transparent with oneself as well as others. This was clearly demonstrated through the exercise in which we were asked to think of a person who has had greatest impact in our lives - and the impact indeed was because of the values and beliefs of our role models, rather than their competence.
In today's world, deep listening is indeed the most vital component of the basket of effective leadership. And the ability to communicate exactly what we really want to convey to others is equally pertinent - and hence the exercise of 'alter ego' gave me an opportunity to ardently practice deep listening and effective communication.
Great communities are built by people who are 'vulnerable' to each other, as trust plays the most important role in the effectiveness of their ecosystems; willingness to share all joys as well as guilt and sorrows / disappointments with each other is one key factor that contributes immensely towards the making of great communities. The last exercise of the day based on sharing personal guilt and disappointments precisely exhibited its importance.
And yes, last but not the least, the instance of the humility practiced by Tata Group and Shriram Capital's chief indeed left an indelible impression on my mind.
