Greed = Justice?
A wild line from Dr. Stone that I couldn’t shake.
What if the thing we’re taught to suppress is actually the engine of justice?
Employees want peace. Monks want liberation. NGOs want change.
All powered by... greed?
Yup. I said it.

🧠 Leadership need not be loud.
Vidura knew when to speak.
And when to let silence speak for him.
This week’s Growth Variable thread:
“The Quiet of Vidura: When Saying Less Says Everything”

Simple question for #leaders to reflect on.
"What sort of a leader they are?"
It makes them aware, why people should follow them, or want to follow them.
It also shows where they need to fill the gap with other leaders stronger in the areas of their style weakness.
#growth #growthvariable #coaching
Outstanding #leaders work long hours, is well known. What is not well known is their love for solitude and regular breaks. This rejuvenates and recharges them for that next stretch of long hours. This keeps their brains sharp and them full of vigor and empathy.
#growth #growthvariable #coaching
Outstanding #leaders build genuine interest in knowing more about the people they lead.
They do it from the place of awe and admiration towards the person in front of them.
They are looking to develop themselves by learning from the person in front of them.
#growth #growthvariable #coaching
#Leaders are sure about what they know, and support their decisions and opinions with certainty and confidence.
Still, they are always seeking others point of view and opinions. This helps them to confirm or evolve their own understanding about their own opinion.
#growth #growthvariable #coaching
Outstnading #leaders accept that they can't do everything themselves or be specialist in everything.
They actively seek people who can do what leaders can't, who specialise in things leader isn't a specialist. They do so with #Delegation, the key to their success.
#growth #growthvariable #coaching
Outstanding #leaders are loved and liked. Yet they are ok with being disliked. They know that decision are not always universally liked, and not everyone can see all aspects of the goal or journey to it. And that is OK. They strive to do right thing, than be liked.
#growth #growthvariable #coaching
Outstanding #leader ensures the buy-in and understanding of broader Vision and Mission of the project, the department and the company from each individual member involved. This in turn fosters inclusiveness and, quicker and faster #growth.
#growthvariable #coaching #team #leadership
Outstanding #leaders accept themselves for who they are. Their weakness and strengths, their bad and good habit. #Acceptance of weaknesses and bad habits makes them human. And striving to doing better in those areas makes them outstanding #achievers and leaders.
#growth #growthvariable #coaching
Outstanding #leaders are always aiming higher and higher.
They do it to keep themselves motivated and focused, and also, to have a reason to do better than before. By giving themselves challenge, they are always growing and leading other to do the same.
#growth #growthvariable #coaching #leadership
Outstanding #leader start with an "Insanely great ambition".
They know that they will find the right people, acquire capabilities and skills needed, at right time. This self-confidence, not knowing humility, and learning curiosity, fulfills their #ambition.
#growth #growthvariable #coaching
Outstanding #leader always knock on the doors that show up on their way to the goal. Their #curiosity compels them to know what else has shown up and how it can be affect the outcome. They prefer to deal with the blocks early, if that is what shows up on knocking.
#growth #growthvariable #coaching
Outstanding #leader utilises team #visualisation, for best #success.
Where leader sets the outcome, "Blue Sky" thinkers innovate towards outcome, "Critics" evolve and refine to make it possible, and, "Action orients" define process to deliver the outcome.
#growth #growthvariable #coaching
Great you got lemons and made lemonade. Now what?
Drink it yourself - self care,
Share it with team - share accomplishment & growth
Sell - Entrepreneurial
Outstanding #leader finds a balance between all three, without self-care no team, no team - no business or growth.
#growthvariable #coaching
"Keep Calm and Carry On"
Outstanding #leader always tries and maintains their inner calm, as things get tough or challenging.
Calm mind can focus on the solutions, while an agitated mind gets busy finding all other reasons to justify its own emotional state.
#growth #growthvariable #coaching
#Procrastination - is it always negative?
Outstanding #leader knows when to stop procastinating and when it makes sense to procrastinate on a decision. They choose this tool and apply it to like its their superpower.
Do you know how to make it your superpower?
#growth #growthvariable #coaching
#Leaders don't balance life. They enjoy life.
Life is happening in every moment. Looking for any sort of balance is denying the wonder of those moments.
Enjoying these moments makes us full of hope, happiness and gratitude. This reflects in everything we do.
#growth #growthvariable #coaching
#Leadership is not having all answers. It is all about having the curiosity to learn the answers, and humility to say"I don't know".
By saying, "I don't know", #leader opens up to possibilities in the moment, under the brilliance of those around them.
#growth #growthvariable #coaching
New year is an opportunity for new type of #leader.
Those who believe in their own #growth and promote self growth in the team and followers.
Take a moment to make one tiny #change in yourself to grow yourself, everyday, to grow multifolds in a year.
#growthvariable #coaching.
Outstanding #leader I know is spending 3 days, from today, reflecting on:
What
- worked in 2024
- didn't work
- could've with right approach
- needs to improve
- has to evolve
- relationships need to change
- I am grateful for
Answers are the blueprint for 2025.
#growth #growthvariable #coaching
#Leadership is all about relationships.
Without relationship there is noone to lead, noone to influence.
People follow and accept influence from those they trust and believe in.
Trust and belief comes from having an open and honest relationship for all to see.
#growth #growthvariable #coaching
Everything evolves and moves forward, including companies and individuals.
So how can a #leader evolve?
1. Self-reflection - to know where and what they need to evolve.
2. Active listening - all agreements and disagreements show the place to evolve.
2 key ways.
#growth #growthvariable #coaching
Among many conversations outstanding #Leaders are having following 3 regularly with the team:
1. What is expected from the member.
2. What strengths of the member are being utilised, which are not.
3. Ensure memebers get enough recognition and praises, regularly.
#growth #growthvariable #coaching
"I am sorry but I don't know. Let me find someone who can help you."
Outstanding #leaders use this more often than normal person. They come from place of authenticity and are loved and respected for it. They only advise if they are competent in the subject.
#growth #growthvariable #coaching
#Leaders have to avoid being in echo chambers, where either there chorus of you are right or complains of what is wrong.
Both are equally bad, one stops bad news from getting to them, while the second drowns any optimised ic opportunities.
How do you avoid it?
#growth #growthvariable #coaching
When chosing to evolve, it is easy to lose core values of the company. It is #leaders job not let that happen, and be mindful and keep reminding themselves and team these values.
Company succeeds when it has clear #values, understood and embodied by its leaders.
#growth #growthvariable #coaching
#Leaders choose the right #strategy at every step to change or evolve.
Changing company culture is difficult, than evolving culture.
With growth, evolve your culture, else you will have to force a change at cost of employee dissatisfaction and disengagement.
