Leading Without Authority











Being a leader, exhibiting leadership qualities 

happens not in text book situations, classrooms

but at actual work spots-  coaching & guiding the key

getting out of the box and aiming for competencies

two to three levels above your current level.... 


Growth not a choice, but a mandatory requirement 

exposure to various areas, competency management 

laced with affability and humility

will enable taking others along- a skill 

so essential for a leader!  


If in HR, go back to basics

always ponder on "How can I uplift people

do something for them ? " 

get rid of the urge to be "Peacocks in suits" 

the thought that you are "God's gift to mankind" 

avoid being manipulative with false promises!


"Credibility" is the key word 

for HR and the management 

many IR issues stem from 

lack of communication

not sharing organizational truths  


Let the child in you be alive and kicking 

be accessible, not take yourself  too seriously

be open to constructive criticism

pursue hobbies, satisfy inner needs 

it helps you expand, meet life challenges!
