Dr. Sathya Sriram, CEO of Preventive Health Apollo Hospitals, says that having a clarity of purpose and vision sets the direction in which the organisation leads. Plus, you need to have a mutually trusting and supporting team and environment because both these elements facilitate one another. Lastly, she believes leaders lead by their deeds by being a pace-setter. If you’re intrigued by her insights, let these life lessons from Dr. Sathya Sriram further inspire you!

Why Indian corporations need transformational leadership

Transformational leadership is something you learn over time by having a growth mindset. “When I was working at the Hindu”, says Dr. Sathya, “I was good at marketing but not the best. So, I hired people better than myself. Staying in their vicinity, their wisdom rubbed off on me. I improved my skills by having the courage to accept myself being open to changing. Such an attitude brings with it an energy that is felt in an organisation. People come to you with results and value your feedback. You feel invited to meetings because your team looks up to your presence.” To sum it up, if things move the way you intended and everyone feels connected to a solid vision, you’re on your way to excellence - in life and in leadership.
