Spending time with the incoming first-year MBA students at Shiv Nadar University reinforced my long-standing belief that although every generation grows up in a different world, the inner journey remains remarkably similar.

Watching my son’s band perform reminded me that leadership is rarely about being the loudest voice. It’s about listening, trusting others, and knowing when to step forward or step back so individual talent becomes collective success.

After months of writing, recording, refining, and reflecting, The Inner Game of Leadership course is now live on Udemy. It brings together the lessons I’ve learned over more than three decades of leading, learning, and growing.

After more than three decades working with leaders around the world, I wanted to create something focused entirely on leadership from the inside out. Iceberg Leadership is that commitment, and I’m excited to begin this journey.

It was an absolute pleasure joining Vrushali Kulkarni Sasmal for this podcast. We discussed leadership, the story behind The Inner Game of Leadership, and the experiences that continue to shape my perspective. I hope you enjoy watching it.

When I published “The Inner Game of Leadership”, I thought the journey had reached its destination. But inspired by readers’ suggestions, the book is now evolving into an online course that will help people put the book’s ideas into practice.
