You don't make Bad Decisions

Image
Two of the hardest sentences for professionals, especially leaders, to say out loud. “I made a mistake” and “I made a bad decision” As #SethGodin writes in his most recent article,  there is a third possibility we often overlook: You simply had a bad outcome. That’s a powerful distinction. A Bad Decision is one made without  enough thought, logic, or integrity. A Mistake is often a lapse in  skill, awareness, or timing. But a Bad Outcome?  That might still follow  a completely Sound Decision. You can make the right call,  with the best data available,  with sound judgment and  still lose. still fail. still watch things fall apart. And that does not mean you got it wrong. For years, I have said, “No one makes a bad decision. Everyone takes the best possible decision based on the facts and information available to them and their mental state at that time.”  A few key takeaways from Seth’s article: - A good decision is one grounded in available...

Opinions and Principles

Image
  “A mark of wisdom is being quick to change our opinions, but slow to change our principles.” ~ Adam Grant (Saw this quote on my Toastmasters WhatsApp group and it immediately struck a chord) Leadership isn’t about always being right. It’s about being open enough to evolve your thinking… and anchored enough to not lose your integrity while doing so. Yet in the real world, we often get it backwards: We cling stubbornly to our opinions,  even when they no longer serve us And we quietly bend our values,  especially when they feel inconvenient. The best leaders? They listen.  They Reflect.  They Adapt. But they never trade principles for popularity, or convenience for character. Stay firm in value. But flexible in thought. That’s what earns respect. That's what establishes credibility.  #ValuesBasedLeadership #EmotionalIntelligence #CoachHemant #UncomfortableCoach #LeadershipIntegrity

Magnus Carlsen slammed his fist on the table when he lost

Image
  Magnus Carlsen slammed his fist on the table when he lost. He slammed so hard that the Chess pieces toppled.  A flash of emotion.  A moment of frustration.  And the internet did not miss it. The world champion lost to Gukesh. But what will people talk about? The reaction. Not the result. That is also the paradox of #leadership You can build a reputation over decades. But one moment of visible loss of control,  just being even human, completely understandable, and it will shift how people feel about you. And the perception only magnifies.  In leadership, how you react when things break down says as much about you as your achievements when things go right. Because people don’t remember what you said.  They remember how you made them feel. And they’ll retell the story;  often with added drama,  exaggeration & judgment. One outburst can be replayed, reinterpreted, relabeled. The perception flips. And flipping it back? That’s a long road. Th...

Managers and Leaders are still getting Delegation wrong

Image
Managers and Leaders are still getting Delegation wrong. Simply because Delegation is not understood in its entirety.  Delegation isn’t just about assigning tasks. It’s about transferring ownership with clarity, context, and trust. Too often, leaders think delegation means telling someone, “Do This” with an optional addition of "Like This" But delegation actually means: - Defining the outcome, not prescribing the method - Providing enough context so the person understands the why behind the task - Giving decision-making authority, not just execution responsibility - Staying available for guidance, not micromanagement - Creating space for the person to grow through the work - Being a Mentor and Coach to your team rather than a Tyrant  Delegation done right builds capability, confidence, and culture. Delegation done wrong creates confusion, dependency, and disappointment. Delegation done right also frees up your time and you can become the proverbial manager who 'doesn'...
