Doing Work that Matters with @JamesVictore

I am a big fan of the work that James Victore puts out. Fan enough to back him and his work on Patreon. He was recently described as “part Darth Vader, part Yoda,”.

Leadership Lessons from The Recent Political Crisis in Tamil Nadu

Leadership Lessons from Recent Political Crisis in Tamil Nadu by Mukesh Gupta Looks like the final curtain on the political crisis in Tamil Nadu finally came down, with Palanisamy being sworn-in as the chief minister. There are two leadership lessons that we can all learn from the way this entire episode unfolded. Importance of Succession Planning: This entire incidence only goes to show that there was no clear succession plan in place, if something were to happen to the erstwhile chief minister Jayalalitha. Even if she had someone in mind, she did not make it clear to the candidate or her […]
