• There are two kinds of people on
earth today,
• Just two kind of people , no more I
say,
• Not the good and the bad , for ‘tis
well understood.
• That the good are half –bad and
the bad are half good.
• No. The two kinds of people on
earth I mean
• Are the people who lift and the
people who lean.

passion and non ending energy is required to acquire
these dreams
Leaders posses a strong hold of subject knowledge they are
dealing with , but on general knowledge also. Going against the
wind is not a good strategy, but setting your sails as per the
wind will lead you towards the goal
5. Leadership quality of a dog
The dog grumbled strongly
and kept on chewing the
bones saying
“Wow these lines taste the
best, no other meat is as
tasty as that of a line. If I
get one more lion it will be
a great day”
“This monkey is useless. Full
one hour has passed and
could not manage a single
line
Monkey sitting on the tree
was watching.
The lion thought that monkey
has laid the trap . He killed
the monkey and ate it
Moral of the story
1. There are many such monkeys around us try to identify them
2. Never under estimate yourself, keep yourself focused. You are
what you pretend to be
3. If hope ends there is nothing you could ever think of being
your self, So keep your hopes alive

• “Every batsman surveys the
field before taking guard
and usually the fielders [
obstacles] get imprinted in
the mind. But in my mind I
don’t see the fielder[
obstacles] . I only see the
Gaps[ opportunity] “

9. It is hard to beat a person who never gives
up .. Believe your abilities Story of Adkins
• Adkins was an
entertainer- musician who
played rock and roll,
country and blues
• He was a one man band
• Simultaneously he would
sing , strum guitar and
play drums- with his feet.
That’s not all, he played
piano and the harmonica
slung around the neck. He
would keep array of
instruments around him
when he perform
• We all have beliefs of about what we can
do- and more importantly what we can not
do.
• We grow up believing our limitations and
weakness. Our belief of what we can not
do limit our achievements.
• If you want to change the outcomes in our
life , start by changing our self

11. Learning New Skills
• Several years ago a bright little
boy in a government school in
Kerala had a dream. He wanted

but did not loose heart. He did
BSc and then Masters. Worked in
a IT firm. And later he was a
cofounder and CEO of a great
Indian IT company…

12. Leaders Accept different and difficult
task
As you go chasing your
goals your dreams and
ambitions, disregard the
people who tell you it
can not be done.
The deaf ear to the critics
and nay Sayers. Ignore
them all. And Go for it
Chase your dreams .
Giving up easy. Getting to
your goals is hard.
And as he saw their
gestures and shouting he
thought they were
cheering him on. What
he has perceived as
encouragement inspired
him to try harder and
succeed against all odds

14. Setting higher goals 5
Power to change our lives and
chart our future lies within
each one of us. Resist the
temptation to blame others
for your plight. When you
blame other people you take
away your inherent power
to change, thereby weakening
yourself. And taking
responsibility for yourself
- is really what separates
- winners from losers.
15. Leaders communicate effectively
• Some time a single
line can make a
huge difference. It
was something you
read somewhere
or something that
was said to you. It
may stay in your
mind and become
guiding factor.
• It was Sunday morning. The task ahead was
simple. To run ten miles . Started quickly and
enthusiastically. After continuing half the
distance felt could not continue. Felt legs
would fold up and collapse.
• Those words did magic- “ Don’t run just with
your legs but with your mind”
• What has happened there after could not
remember but could finish the entire ten miles

16. Leaders behave differently
• When you moan and say this is bad ,
the mind set gets conditioned to look
for difficulty in opportunity. And when
you say this is good , the mind looks
for opportunity in difficulty. And there
in lies the difference between winners
and losers.
• Let us look at Dave ‘s story.. A
musician horrified to find his $3500
guitar damaged by baggage handler..
Complained ?
United Breaks Guitar
in You tube

17. Leaders Bring the change
• Most of our problem appear as they do because of the
way we look at them. You get back what you give. Let us
look at the story of evil monster and little boy
Monster a Curse or boon
Little boy took out an
apple and offered to
monster. The monster
gave back two delicious
apple
Man hit the monster with
a sword. The monster
took twice the size of the
sword and sliced him
Change the way you
look at it and see the
difference

18. 1. Not everyone who drops shit on you is your enemy
A little bird was flying
south for the winter.
While it was lying there, a cow came by
and dropped some dung on it. As the
frozen bird lay there in the pile of cow dung,
it began to realize how warm it was. The dung
was actually thawing him out. He lay there all
warm and happy, and soon began to sing for joy
A passing cat heard the bird singing and came to investigate.
Following the sound, the cat discovered the bird under the
pile of cow dung, and promptly dug him out and ate him!
2. Not everyone who gets you out of shit is your friend
3. And when you are in deep shit, keep your mouth shut!
19. Leadership Lessons
From the secret of leadership … PRAKASH IYER
Narrated by Dr R Soundararajan
A Case Study
Leadershipand tea cup
20. Lesson 1:
What counts is What is inside the tea
bag
• Quality of beverage is determined
by the tea inside the bag
• Not the label or string
• What really matters is the kind of
person you are deep down
21. Lesson 2:
The real flavour comes through only
when the tea bag gets into hot water
• Like wise the character of the leader
shines through in adversity. How
does the person behave under
pressure.
22. Lesson 3
Good tea bag look forward to getting
into hot water
Like wise great leaders relish a challenge. They
love their opportunity to test their skills and prove
their real mettle
23. Lesson 4
Tea bag must be porous
• Imagine the best tea put in a bag that is
impermeable. It wont work
In our life too we can not survive and
thrive in isolation. Leaders need to be
careful not to build walls around
themselves, that prevent people from
reaching out to them.
24. Lesson 5
Tea bag works , never mind where
they are in the cup
• Once you Dip the tea bag , it does not matter
, where the tea bag sits. It could be at top,
on the side or at the bottom.. It still works
Position is irrelevant for leader.
Leaders derive their strength from
with in- not from title or a position
in the organization
25. Lesson 6
Some time one tea bag is not enough
• If the pot is large then one tea bag is not
sufficient to make a good beverage.
Too often good leaders get branded
as failure – not because they were
not good enough, but because
challenge was too big. Asking for
assistance is not sign of weakness, it
is often a sign of great strength and
self confidence
26. Lesson 7
Some time you have to add milk and
sugar
• If you want cup of tea with milk and
sugar , no tea bag in the world can give
that to you by itself . You need to add
milk and sugar Some time
business needs
complementary
skill and no
single leader can
provide. They
find partners to
complement the
skill
27. Lesson 8
Some one hold the string always
• No matter how strong the tea bag is , it recognizes
that some one else holds the string in his or her hand.
They can pull the tea bag out and throw it away
anytime they like . No question asked.
No matter how powerful the leader is ,
he must remember there is string tied to
him that is in some Other stakeholder.-
Customer, or shareholder or Board. The
realization of this truth can help ensure
that leaders don’t let power go to their
head
28. Lesson 9
It’s all about how good the tea is . Not
tea bag
• Nobody ever drank a cup of tea and said, ‘ wow ,
that was a great tea bag’
• He would say, ‘That was great cup of tea’
• In ultimate analysis, leaders get remembered
not for how good they themselves were, but for
how good their teams and Institutions that they
built were.
• Too often leaders get caught up with looking
themselves, in the mirror rather than turning
the spot light on their teams , their
organizations and their results.
29. Lesson 10
Eventually ,teabags need to make way
and get out
• Tea bags recognize that once the brew is ready
they need to move on. They don’t worry that
that if they were to move out of the cup
Alas too many leaders see
themselves as being indispensable
and overstay. They get so much
taken with their abilities and
greatness that they start believing
that if they were to leave their
organization would not survive.
30. Last But not the least
• The
leaders
do the
right
things
