𝗟𝗲𝗮𝗱-𝗪𝗶𝘁𝗵𝗶𝗻 - As part of my ongoing Lead-Within series, over the next few days I will be sharing reflections on Leadership and Workplace Wisdom inspired by the timeless wisdom of 𝗦𝗿𝗶 𝗚𝘂𝗿𝘂 𝗚𝗿𝗮𝗻𝘁𝗵 𝗦𝗮𝗵𝗶𝗯 𝗝𝗶 🙏

"ਮਨਿ ਜੀਤੈ ਜਗੁ ਜੀਤੁ ॥"
Man Jeetai Jagjeet.
Conquer the mind, and you conquer the world.

While leadership is often associated with -
👉 Human Connect.
👉 Influencing others.
👉 Analysing data and Taking the right decisions.

🪷 Gurbani gently reminds us that the first and most important leadership challenge is to lead our own mind - Our thoughts, emotions, impulses, ego, and fears.

👉 𝗕𝗲𝗳𝗼𝗿𝗲 𝗹𝗲𝗮𝗱𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗼𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗿𝘀, 𝘄𝗲 𝗺𝘂𝘀𝘁 𝗯𝗲𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗲 𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗼𝘄𝗻 𝗱𝗮𝘁𝗮 𝗮𝗻𝗮𝗹𝘆𝘀𝘁𝘀.

I approach these teachings with humility and gratitude, sharing only my learnings from this eternal source of wisdom.

React like a dog, or respond like a human?

Anger makes you lose the battle you’ve already won.  Take a breath, take control. I want to share an incident from years ago that stuck with me like Fevicol —it clung to my memory and completely transformed the way I perceive anger. One evening, I was out for my usual walk when I noticed a few street dogs resting by the roadside. Nearby, some children were playing. One of the boys began teasing a dog, and, unsurprisingly, the dog reacted—barking furiously and chasing after him. Startled, the boy ran away. Instinctively, I tried to intervene and shoo the dog away. The dog, now agitated, turned its attention to me and barked even more loudly. In that moment, something clicked. I had a sudden realisation: it's so easy to provoke a dog—just a gesture, a shout, or even driving past on a scooter can set it off. It doesn't take much. 👉 Then the deeper thought hit me: aren't we humans often the same? Someone says something offhand, cracks a joke at our expense, or makes a ca...

When you can recognise your thoughts, then you can easily maintain distance from them.  🧠  BRAIN IS A MUSCLE – By recognising one Negative thought and choosing to ignore it, you can throw it out of your system easily.
