From my mother, I’ve learned the importance of flexibility and adaptability – key traits of great leadership. I’ve seen her embrace new ideas and trends, while always holding onto her own beliefs. She made sure to stay open-minded, constantly evolving and learning. The leadership lesson I took away from her is the need to be open to learning and unlearning, setting aside our egos in order to grow as leaders.
My grandmother once shared a piece of wisdom that has stayed with me: “Do soney ka nawala, dekho shair ki nigah se.” This translates to, “Always provide your children with the best, but keep a sharp eye on them to ensure they stay on the right path.” For me, the leadership lesson here is that we must take care of our teams, keeping them in the best possible conditions while remaining empathetic, but without compromising on ethics and accountability.
I’ve always believed that there is no substitute for the wisdom passed down by our forefathers and elders. Whether or not they led corporate lives, their experiences offer invaluable insights that align closely with the challenges we face in the modern world. After all, leadership is about balancing the energies around us, both within ourselves and with others.

Your mother is an icon because truly, it’s very difficult to find the balance between flexibility and firmness. I think this is also why motherness is a valuable trait. My mother also taught me the importance of establishing relationships, I believe she was able to lead me well because she had established a valuable trust relationship with me.
