Someone else made me a manager;

I alone can make myself a leader

That’s “Awakening”

But, Even more

importantly

We may have lost

something immeasurable!

How did we get here?

Have we lost the sense that we have lost something?

There is a mountain to climb…

Let’s hear the story …

Grew up in a middle-class family

National volleyball & football player

24 year old, looking for a job

On a train to Delhi for CISF test & interview

Thugs enter the wagon and start robbing

What happened next?

Physical trauma subsiding

Adding insult to injury

On the hospital bed, frustrated & helpless

What went through your mind?

What did you decide to do?

& Why?

Once you decided to climb the Everest, how did

you start?

Did you seek help?

How did you train?

When did you know that you were ready?

So, you have trained well and you are at the

base camp

Describe your attempt to climb the Everest

Against so many odds, you have conquered the

world’s tallest mountain!

How does it feel and what next?

Your final message to the audience?

Humanizing the leader =

Leaderizing Self =

Lessons of Leadership

Singularizing success =

Aggrandizing the person =

Externalizing leadership =

Then, It Is Not Me!

Then, Why Not Me?

That’s “Awakening”

Thank you!
