Silshi Oberoi_BLP062_Self Leadership_October 2012

                  Silshi_Oberoi_BLP062_Self Leadership_October 2012

On 16 October 2012, session started with a framework on strategic decision thinking.

  •    What is the most important question
  •    Collect meaningful and reliable information
  •    Define several creative and doable alternatives
  •    Define logic for evaluation in terms of RISK & RETURS
  •    Values & Trade offs
  •    What I need to implement it

We got a chance to ponder upon our career aspirations after appreciating relevance of decision framework.

Answering 4 powerful questions on a range of 1-10, proved to be a mirror to comprehend creativity amongst ourselves.
  • Whenever I try to do something new, fear of failure strikes in between
  • To what extent I am conscious about others
  • To what extent I am concerned about the ambiguity
  • To what extent you are concerned about time and lack of resources
S     Subsequently, light was thrown on “five fears”, a prime cause to encumber one’s self confidence.

Learning “Ladder of Inference” which describes one of our basic habits of mind, was cherished by everyone. There are seven questions in the ladder which will help each of us to move forward in life.

          Take my action based on “my beliefs”
2       Adopt beliefs about the world
         Draw conclusions –make judgments
         Assumptions based on the meaning added
5      Constructed meanings 
6      Selected “Data” from Observations
7      Observable “Data” and experiences 

On 22 October 2012, day started with wet eyes as we celebrated anniversary of “the heroes of 1962” by remembering Major Shaitan Singh & his troops, who sacrificed their lives for their country & people.

Further, we got a chance to deduce “where courage comes from?”

·         One’s identification with community and country.
·         Inside – the cause for which one is fighting.
·         Passion-goal
·         Selflessness
·         Spark within
·         Deep love for something
·         “SERVICE” or “SEVA” - which strengthens one’s courage
·         Opportunity to take on big responsibility
·     Courage is not absence of fear but the realization that something is more important than fear”.
