Learning objective: Achieve clarity and confidence as your most authentic self
Authenticity is the harmonious alignment between one's internal values and beliefs and their external behavior. Embracing authenticity in leadership involves aligning professional actions with personal ethics, values, and personality. Trust is built when leaders remain true to themselves, making it easier to achieve goals. In this session, we will explore the authenticity paradox in the workplace, learn to lead authentically, and identify practical ways to embody authenticity in your leadership role.
By the end of this session, attendees will be able to:
1. Differentiate between constructive and detrimental authentic behaviors.
2. Identify your core values and understand their influence on your leadership actions.
3. Establish trust and transparency in your team as an authentic leader while navigating the authenticity paradox.
4. Cultivate a team that embraces individual and collective strengths and authenticity.
This session explored the role of a manager as a coach to enable purposeful conversations, enhancing performance, motivation and development to deliver results.
THE LEADERSHIP
CHALLENGE Kouzes and Posner
“Based upon evidence collected from around the world and over decades, THE LEADERSHIP CHALLENGE
provides guidance on how to lead and inspiration to make the effort.”
—Jeffrey Pfeffer, professor, Stanford Business School,
Kouzes and Posner sug-
gest that “practice” is
what leadership is all
about. Their model, THE
FIVE PRACTICES OF
EFFECTIVE LEADER-
SHIP, is offered as a
guide for all modern day
leaders in all aspects of
administration. The au-
thors found, when re-
searching for their book,
that these five practices
were common among ex-
emplary leaders. This
book is meant to be used
as a tool by leaders to
guide others to reach
their maximum potential.
Kouzes and Posner warn,
however, that in order
to become an effective
guide for others one
must have their own
house in order first.
They suggest and offer
questions by which lead-
ers may challenge them-
selves as to their be-
liefs, practices and abili-
ties. Gayle Hamilton
speaks to this as she
says, ”You can’t follow
someone who isn’t credi-
ble, who doesn’t truly
believe what they are
doing-and how they are
doing it.” Gayle is head
of the Pacific Gas and
Electric Company, one of
the many exemplary
leaders that the authors
have showcased in their
book. Each practice in
the book has with it nu-
merous examples of
leaders at their best.
Along with the Five
Practices, are the Ten
Commitments of Leader-
ship. These are offered
as time-tested strate-
gies through which lead-
ers attain their goals.
1. Find your voice by clarifying
your personal values.
2. Set the example by aligning
actions with shared values.
3. Envision the future by imag-
ining exciting and ennobling
possibilities.
4. Enlist others in a common
vision by appealing to shared
aspirations.
5. Search for opportunities by seeking innovative ways to grow,
change, and improve.
6. Experiment and take risks by constantly generating small
wins and learning from mistakes.
7. Foster collaboration by promoting cooperative goals and
building trust
8. Strengthen others by sharing power and discretion.
9. Recognize contributions by showing appreciation for individ-
ual excellence.
10. Celebrate the values and victories by creating a spirit of

We all have good and bad thoughts from time to time and situation to situation. We are bombarded daily with spiraling thoughts(both negative and positive) creating all-consuming feel , making us difficult to manage with associated suffering. Good thoughts are like our Mob Signal (Positive thought) amidst noise(negative thought) in the atmosphere. Negative thoughts like noise outweigh positive thoughts.

The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.

Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.
This is a presentation by Dada Robert in a Your Skill Boost masterclass organised by the Excellence Foundation for South Sudan (EFSS) on Saturday, the 25th and Sunday, the 26th of May 2024.
He discussed the concept of quality improvement, emphasizing its applicability to various aspects of life, including personal, project, and program improvements. He defined quality as doing the right thing at the right time in the right way to achieve the best possible results and discussed the concept of the "gap" between what we know and what we do, and how this gap represents the areas we need to improve. He explained the scientific approach to quality improvement, which involves systematic performance analysis, testing and learning, and implementing change ideas. He also highlighted the importance of client focus and a team approach to quality improvement.
2. What Effective Leaders do?
Leaders mobilize others to want to get extraordinary
things done in organizations.
Leaders transform values into actions, visions into
realities, obstacles into innovations, separateness into
solidarity, and risks into rewards.
Leaders create the climate in which people turn
challenging opportunities into remarkable successes.
3. Leadership
Definition of Leadership
Leadership is a relationship; it is about behavior not
personality. Leadership is everyone's business; it is an
ongoing process that can happen anywhere and at any
time.
Leadership is the skill of influencing people to work
enthusiastically for the common good.
Our Leadership Imperative
Great Leadership = Engaged Employees =Positive Business Outcome
4. Importance of Employee Engagement
The world's top-performing organizations understand that
employee engagement is a force that drives business
outcomes. In the best organizations, engagement is more
than a human resources initiative --it is a strategic
foundation for the way they do business.
World-class organizations unleash their potential for
growth by optimizing their employee and customer
relationships. Organizations that have optimized
engagement have 2.6 times the earnings per share (EPS)
growth rate compared to organizations with lower
engagement in their same industry.

there must be trust. Therefore, credibility is the
foundation of leadership. Without credibility the

be honest, forward-looking, competent and inspiring.
