Lesson 3 – Leadership Adversity

Test of Leadership is from Adversity

Our life is as much ennobled by adversity, as it is enriched by joy. 

It may sound a bit of paradox. However I see the hand of universe in all the unfolding our events during the last six months of Covid situation in the world.

True test of  leadership  stems from adverse situations and moments of life. Human spirit is so resilient that it can withstand any weight of strain and block, and can still be a winner.

Growth and success stem from personal perseverance, endurance, resilience and tenacity. 

Adversities and testing times are meant to strengthen our resolve, to test our self-belief and to enhance our determination to look forward to the future with confidence.

Business leaders need to thank for this grace of adversity? It brings the best from them.

Business leaders of our time can build on this moment to reshape the future of humankind.

This moment will produce some great leaders for the future.

This test of adversity will…

  1.  Strengthen us in good resolve during this moment of adversity
  2.  Bring and keep the best people (the people who have stayed with you in your adversity) together
  3.  Inspire us to revisit the vision, mission and core values
  4.  Build us as a team
  5.  Strengthen our structural boundaries to sustain ourselves in business in the highly competent market scenario
  6. Enable us to rebuild the fortress with renewed energy and passion
  7. Test our leadership abilities and skills
  8. Bring the hidden potentials from each one of us to mitigate the challenges
  9. Enable us to be strategic in dealing with new business opportunities and inner power to deal with external threats and challenges
  10. Rebuild our inner strength from our unconscious depths and looking forward to the future with confidence

True adversity gives a moment for business and political leaders to  ‘REALIGN and REDEEM’ their business and organisation.
