Capt. Raman stressed on the need for leaders to understand the daily realities of the people they lead.
What does leadership look like when the stakes are high and systems break? UN Peacekeeper and founding CEO of NATGRID Capt. Raghu Raman joined MIT Sloan Management Review India’s John Melvin Konath to share hard-earned lessons on clarity under pressure, building trust amid uncertainty, storytelling that inspires action, and resilience that endures.
“If a leader is building a product or a world-changing platform, it doesn’t change the fact that an employee has a special needs child to be dropped to school or has ageing parents whom they have to look after,” Capt. Raman said, stressing the need for leaders to understand the daily realities of the people they lead.
Capt. Raman led a masterclass, titled ‘The Leadership Edge — Driving Performance When the Stakes Are High,’ at the Delhi edition of the #StrategyShiftForum, hosted by MIT Sloan Management Review India in partnership with Salesforce. The Forum now comes to Bengaluru.
Join us at Conrad on 25 September for a day of ideas, urgency, and execution, featuring MIT professors, global AI experts, and business heads decoding the next wave of strategic transformation.
