Rigid return-to-office policies may seem like the easy answer, but the data tells a different story. Companies that embrace purposeful workplace attendance—where employees come in for collaboration, not just compliance—are seeing higher engagement, better retention, and stronger productivity. Flexibility isn’t just a perk; it’s a performance driver. Let’s move beyond mandates and focus on intentional, high-impact workdays. Here’s a great read by fLXii.work.🌟 Thanks for sharing Kishore G Nair ! #FutureOfWork #FlexibleWork #Leadership

As leaders, we are always sounding a call—whether of complaints or encouragement. The question is: which one are you choosing? पाञ्चजन्यं हृषीकेशो देवदत्तं धनञ्जयः । पौण्ड्रं दध्मौ महाशङ्खं भीमकर्मा वृकोदरः ॥ १-१५॥ In the Bhagavad Gita (1.15), as the battle of Kurukshetra begins, Lord Hrishikesha (Krishna) blows the divine conch Panchajanya, Arjuna blows Devadatta, and Bhima sounds the mighty Paundra—each conch symbolizing their intent, readiness, and purpose. Similarly, the “conch” we blow as leaders sets the tone for those around us. Do we sound the call of courage, clarity, and inspiration like Krishna and Arjuna, or do we let circumstances dictate our tune? The fool, like an uncontrolled conch, is played by others, while the wise leader chooses their call with purpose. Grateful to my Bhagavad Gita teacher, Triloknath Tripathi ji, for these profound learnings. #leadership #leadershipCoaching #leadershipDevelopment #courage #inspiration #bhagwatGeeta

This Women’s Day, let’s go beyond celebration and step into daily empowerment. Too often, women overextend themselves, pouring into others while neglecting their own well-being. But true strength comes from balance—filling our own cup first so we can give from a place of abundance. As I climbed the corporate ladder, I noticed a pattern among women in leadership—many struggled to balance their masculine and feminine energies. The drive to be seen as strong often overshadowed their natural grace and intuition. I knew I wanted to be powerful, but not at the cost of my femininity. So today, let’s reflect: How can we honor both our strength and our softness? How can we redefine leadership to include the full spectrum of who we are? Let’s make womanhood something we celebrate—not just once a year, but every single day. #womensDay #HappyWomensDay #feminity #leadership #leadershipDevelopment #leadershipCoaching

While we aren’t in a literal war, 𝐰𝐞 𝐚𝐫𝐞 𝐢𝐧 𝐚 𝐛𝐚𝐭𝐭𝐥𝐞 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐚𝐭𝐭𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧, 𝐞𝐧𝐞𝐫𝐠𝐲, 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐦𝐨𝐭𝐢𝐯𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐢𝐧 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐰𝐨𝐫𝐤𝐩𝐥𝐚𝐜𝐞. But companies are failing to inspire their people, and the data is proof: • Employee engagement in the U.S. has plummeted to its lowest level in a decade. • Only 31% of employees say they feel engaged at work. • Gallup estimates that companies with highly engaged employees are 21% more profitable. The question isn’t whether engagement matters—the question is, why aren’t more companies taking action when the cost of disengagement is so high? https://lnkd.in/dfw_Xy7X #RemoteWork #RemoteLeadership #EmployeeEngagement
