Meeting CKK, Co-Founder and CMD of Naturals Salon & Spa, reminded me that leadership feels human. No hierarchy. No pretence. Just ease and genuine listening. Leadership is as much about accessibility as it is about ability.

Early in my leadership journey, I learned that teams do not copy a leader’s skills. They absorb a leader’s mindset. Every day, through calm, curiosity, and accountability, leaders shape culture long before results ever show up.

When I self-published “The Inner Game of Leadership”, I wasn’t thinking far ahead. Partnering with Notion Press feels like a natural continuation, allowing the ideas to travel further than I could have managed independently.

Leadership does not always come with a title. Sometimes it shows up through small, visible acts of care. Watching an auto driver carry his beliefs so openly reinforced a simple truth for me. Impact begins when we choose to do

On my weekend walks along Chennai’s Adyar River Trail, a simple line on the OTA gate stays with me. It’s a reminder of leadership, service, and the resolve to keep going when progress is slow and applause is absent.

We often speak about change as something external. Yet the most lasting change begins within, through daily choices, quiet integrity, and the example we set when no one is watching.
