17. Feedback from session
• Check Leading by Ferguson MU Coach
• Let the learning emerge don’t make is a
dictatorial book ..do this do that
• Check Business Sutra by Devdutt Patnaik for the
‘Indian’ style of Management
• The Idea of Youtube videos of role plays,
corporate stories, AV messages is innovative
• It is Leadership in a corporate business context
• The book is looking at a corporate situation from
the people(soft) side and not business side

18. Expectation from collaborators(max 2)
• Bring the hr ( read psychology) side in the
emotion /action
• Together sharpen the idea, convert to
scenarios/role play/real life stories/idea in
action
• Put the ideas to focus groups/Leadership
trainers/ students to bring out different
perspectives
