Success is less to do with strategy and
more to do with authenticity and integrity.
There is nothing enduring about strategy.
The truly enduring things are values,
character, genuineness, and authenticity.
Whatever you do is an idea; it is a belief,
a principle. If you have this
understanding, it is going to be easy for
you to change the strategy or its
execution.
– IMPORTANCE OF CORE VALUES

Leadership surrounds us everywhere.
Leadership is not a position, but is what
you do. Leadership is who you are.
Mahatma Gandhi was a great leader.
But he neither had a title nor an office.
– LEADERSHIP IS DEFINED BY
ACTIONS, NOT TITLES

5. Each of you is a leader. Each of you
can go out and make a difference.
Some of you will follow your dreams
and become entrepreneurs; others will
join companies or NGOs, but wherever
you are, remember that anything you
do in life is largely up to you.
– EVERYONE HAS A LEADER IN
THEM

6. Nobody is successful by luck alone.
People are successful because they work
at it and believe in what they do. This is
true for great politicians and business
people.
– HARD WORK IS THE KEY TO
SUCCESS

7. Another quality of leadership is the ability to
effectively communicate and share your
dream with others. There are enough
people who will come together with you to
create the change you want to make, but
this requires great energy, great discipline,
and effective communication.
– GOOD LEADERSHIP DEMANDS GOOD
COMMUNICATION

8. There are enough leaders who have great
ideas but if an idea cannot be converted into
action, nothing really happens. Leadership
is the ability to transform the way we
behave, live, to transform societies, cultures,
to create progress. Whatever you do is an
idea; it is a belief, a principle.
– LEADERSHIP IS ABOUT ACTION

9. Leadership is not just about conviction. It is
about converting that conviction into action.
a. Leaders are people who believe in who they are and
believe in others.
b. Leaders are people, who have a vision for the future
and a trust that it can be attained.
c. Leaders are people who galvanize action and never
give up.
d. Leaders are people who create around them a
group of energetic people, who share their dream,
and also work towards fulfilling the dream.
