  Every superhero has a dark side and so does everyone. Each one of us values different things and has unique strengths in life but are you aware of your dark sides? When your strengths, your values become too dominant, you unconsciously cross the point. Let me give you some examples Let’s say you value “hard work” a lot for the success in your life but after a certain time, this hard work becomes a dark side as well, where you ended up being ignorant, confused between hard work v/s smart works, and expects same from everyone around you and set unrealistic expectations for your teams. Your creativity solves problems but it becomes darker when you lose focus with several ideas in mind. This delays in decision-making where you are always looking for something different and unique. This can lead to missing something simple and obvious. Sometimes, following the process is much simpler You might end up rejecting their ideas because they are not creative enough Creativity requi...

  Read more:- https://harshjohari.com/welcome/singleblog/nothing-as-a-leadership-practice   Anchoring a ship was a common operation when the ship has to wait in a place or to reduce speed in an emergency. It is a critical operation and if not executed properly, it can cause an accident, and interestingly, the size of the anchor is very small compared to the overall size of the ship and still, it manages to drift away from the ship. The weight of the anchor, the anchor chain, the seabed, the weather conditions – all play a critical role in holding a ship in position. Why am I telling you this? As a leader, you need to find YOUR OWN ANCHOR which can hold you truly for your authentic cause. It helps you in keeping you well-grounded, especially in times of Uncertainty or when things are not going your way. Anchor helps you in holding your ship in position. This is a very important aspect of self-awareness as a leader and is foundational in nature to find ●  ...

  Admittedly, last year has been perhaps the most challenging time we have ever seen for businesses. For some businesses, success means survival, but for others, it is growth. Do you have strong and decisive leadership at the helm to lead in times of uncertainty? Do your leaders have complete clarity and confidence in what they should be doing next? So here are some potential areas where the leadership team of your business could be struggling and not growing Prisoners of the past Many leaders are still following the old hierarchical mindset and are not able to shift from their old way of working. This limits their creative thinking ability for fresh concepts with individual perspectives. This becomes the bigger hindrance for your team and business growth. Behind this resistance to change is fear – fear of failure, fear of commitment and fear of the unknown. This resistance to change is and will continue to impact the growth of teams and their businesses in the future....

  When was the last time you said that I did nothing! Precisely, when we feltlike doing anything as a leader? Our lives are getting busier in these uncertain & volatile times. You are constantly working, even when it’s time to sleep, we think about our next day’s priorities. You hardly have time to take a pause and society considers doing nothing is a waste of time. People believe that “doing nothing” is a sort of weakness. They constantly feel the need to be busy.   But “Nothingness” is a powerful practice to evolve you as a better leader and be with your own self. It’s not similar to taking breaks from work. You engage yourself with other activities on break, which means you are not idle. Nothingness means allowing yourself to discharge before you recharge. It gives you more control over your emotions. Doing nothing might create a fear of loss of control or fear of what other people will say. Nothingness gives. Still, it gives space and freedom, raises self-awarene...

Delivering Appraisals through GRACE In the coming monthsorganizations are going to observe annual performance appraisals for employees. Although it is a pandemic time, still performance analysis is necessary as an important aspect of both talent development and business growth.

During my sailing days, I worked on different kinds of ships where I learned the stopping a ship can be a crucial task as they don’t have wheels or brakes like a car or a bike. Ships have the main engine which controls the propeller located in the rear end of a ship which provides a thrust and propels the ship ahead of time on turning. So you need to stop them from ship   First, you need to cut off the fuel supply to the main engine, even then the propeller continues to move due to the momentum in water which makes the ship move ahead   Eventually, it stops after covering some distance, called the stopping distance. Every ship possesses a unique stopping distance, ranging from 1-3 nautical miles!! As a Captain, I had to know the stopping distance of my ship very well, else I ran the risk of not being able to stop the ship in time and at the right point.   Why am I telling you this?   A good leader must know when to start new things also when t...

  There was no GPS in1991 when I joined shipping .   I learned navigation using heavenly bodies such as the stars, the sun, the moon & the planets.   We used a sextant , which allowed us to measure angles and altitudes, and then we managed to perform complex manual calculations to arrive at the ship’s position which was fairly accurate, sometimes within 5 meters off the actual position!   With automated position systems developed we start using SatNav (Satellite Navigation) to the current GPS and lost the significance of stars. Where there were   6000+ stars visible to the naked eye but only 58 stars are bright enough to be used for navigation. Even when I quit sailing I forgot some of them still I can identify the main ones on a clear night. One such star is the Pole Star, also known as Polaris or North Star.   You must have heard these phrases a lot, especially used by leadership coaches :   “ Find your Pole Star ” or   “ Fi...
