Nitin Rakesh is a truly contemporary leader of today, who has demonstrated what he wrote in his book, Transformation in Times of Crisis.
Not surprisingly this conversation is simply full of gems like:
* if you don’t take a chance on you now, when will you?
* your point of view is not block or white
* your definition of success depends on your stage in life; it does not have a unidimensional trajectory
* to be BOLD is to take action based on conviction; you need humility to course-correct
* plans are useless, planning is important
and so many more!
You will walk away with so much more. As Nitin says, “success to me is that I know I am better than I was yesterday, and I will be better tomorrow because of what I learn today”.
Nitin embodies a Bold, Conscious Leader!
