The course explores the central challenge of leadership, which is creating a context for other people to be successful in achieving the organization's mission. Meeting this challenge depends on how leaders face five primary demands:
- setting and communicating direction,
- aligning people behind the direction,
- developing the temperament to handle the stress, ambiguity, and conflicts inherent in the job,
- setting and living values,
- and growth of self and others.
While working on this exercise, time and time again, I go back to my conflicts between money vs. happiness and rat race vs. fulfillment. Just going through all my blog entries from the past provided some interesting perspectives on my view of the world and my internal conflicts throughout business school.
Anyway, we are going to have the distinguished Warren Bennis, a leadership guru and one of the top business thinkers, in class next Monday. Maybe I can get his thoughts on some of these conflicts I keep coming across...

This is very much true. Its not thaught in most of the business management school in India, practically. But, only theoretical knowledge is provided. But when pupil join the corporate world, its not exactly the same they experience which was thaught inside the 4 walls. The rat-race is a very good example for globalization and its after effects.
