Leadership Talk - 5 Brilliants Traits of Leading by example

For several years being on the organising side on #AWS Community Day, choose to be a speaker at AWS Community Day 2022 with a Leadership Talk - 5 Brilliant Traits of Leading by example

I enjoyed traversing through the 5 brilliant traits of how a person could become a transformational leader.

• Embrace failure
• Build trust
• Earn Respect
• Self-Actualization
• Transformational leadership

Success of the session lies in the audience and when you got such a hand written notes, its mind blowing

Summary of the session went like this

Embrace Failure
Recently I met a very young and skilled professional and he asked me, mam, how would you face failure?

Well, he is just out of college and less than a year into his IT job.
I was curious to know why such a question.

He said about his ambition to pursue higher studies, cleared the competitive exam, got admission into a reputed university but the visa got rejected.

It sounded so trivial to me because as a mother I looked at him from the eyes of his parents and said it’s not the end of life dear. Move on!! But to him, it's the first failure which changed the course of his career though temporarily.

And answered his question - there were petty insults, dejections and loss - many times died with guilt. But each one made me stronger and moulded me for a better tomorrow.

It’s ok
Everyone has bad days
Let’s take a pause
Rest for a while
Reset and Restart

Build Trust
Remember, no leader can build a great team without trust!! Let’s build that first!

Earn Respect
Remember the Golden Rule - do unto others what ought to be done to you
If you Treat everyone with honesty, dignity, respect and sensitivity.

Self-Actualize
Identify, develop and apply your gifts and passions so you can best contribute in ways that are most meaningful to you.

Transformational Leader
With all this, you can obviously become a transformational leader and create such visionary leaders as well.

Wishing you a great success ahead!!

I really loved the idea of creative virtual photo booth. Thanks to Avinash Dalvi and team.
