Systemic Leadership with Ram Ramanathan

For any sustainable growth to thrive there has to be a building
of an ecosystem of conscious corporate leaders. Where there is an
opportunity for people to open up and express themselves, there
is shared learning and people become emotionally bonded together
for a common goal. 


 


That is what this conscious leadership stands for. 


 


Ram Ramanathan has 40 years of global corporate
leadership experience, 30 years of spiritual training with 7
years as trainee monk, 10 years as a leadership coach as the
cofounder of Coacharya - a leading, award-winning,
coaching company where its focus is in building an ecosystem of
conscious corporate leaders. 


 


In this episode Ram shares his thoughts on why individual
leaders find it difficult to align
with organisational vision when their lenses change
through coaching. He also pointed out the importance of
learning from mistakes, and why we shouldn’t just revel in the
knowledge we acquire, we need to gain wisdom from it.

Key Takeaways: 


 


 


“I coach CEOs. Because CEOs do not like to be coached, they know
everything, they want others to change, they don't want to change
themselves. I rarely found CEOs coming to me for any kind of
input for changing themselves.” 


 


“People don't learn from their mistakes.”  


 


“As a corporate leader, I was never used to listening. I was used
to telling people what to do. Fear was the key, but as a coach,
it has that diametrically opposite kind of stuff. So I work with
leaders today, to see how they can completely shift
themselves.”
