IMPORTANT COMPONENTS OF LEADERSHIP ARE TRUST AND SUPPORT
SANDEEP AND MANISHA CHAUDHURY
Sandeep and Manisha Chaudhury's team called ResourceGroup, conduct workshops in the national corporate sector besides conducting open classes on how to live life fully and passionately. Sandeep's words emerge lightly but hold the listener's attention because of his innate passion and intelligence. If Sandeep is the face of the group, Manisha is its heart and brains. She is the main creator of their training modules and given her education in psychology, the administrator and evaluator of some of their evaluation tests.
The couple view success in a number of ways, but all of them according to Sandeep, converge to mean the same thing: ''To reach a state of mind where you are continuously and deeply satisfied with what you have and yet aspire to grow towards a vision.'' He adds: ''Success is achieving our potential in all four dimensions of being: 1. Physical—or health 2. Emotional—or love and inspiration 3. Intellectual—or solving life's problems creatively 4. Spiritual—or rising like a bird above yourself and the world and staying there diving deep within and staying there. Finally, you must live your name, because that's where the Godhead in you is hidden.''
Can leadership be taught in classroom conditions? Sandeep says: ''Yes, provided the classroom is sincerely and positively carried into real life and real life is brought into the classroom.'' He adds that: ''We need to discover the blocks to our natural leadership potential and integrate our emotions and intelligence into effective leadership. By sensitizing ourselves to people around us and using this sensitivity, we will enhance our leadership potential. We check whether people are taking as much interest in others' vision or not. This is one of the most important attributes of a leader that enables him to build a strong team under him. As a leader, one achieves self-growth by promoting the growth of others.''
''Trust and support'', according to Manisha, ''are among the most important components of strong leadership.'' In Manisha's book, a good trainer touches people's hearts, not just their minds. ''If this is achieved, you have created or switched on a force required to make learning a way of life.'' Sandeep and Manisha believe that India is on her way to a golden age when the world will look up to her for inspiration.
ResourceGroup clients include major multinationals and large corporate houses besides many individuals who continue to return to their workshops for advanced courses.
