Strategy, Leadership and the Soul-A Skype session by Jennifer Sertl

Jennifer Sertl (Founder & President, Agility, 3R, New York, USA) gave an enriching session on "Becoming a True Global Leader Through Transleadership" Her 3R philosophy for Organisation growth was explained and how it helps in becoming a global transleader. 3R Stands for Resilience, Responsiveness and Reflection.

 Here are two interesting questions she was asked, and her answers:-


I loved the two questions that the students asked: 
1) How do you create time for open space?
My answer was that in order to create a design around open space you have to reverse engineer your time. Imagine that you have 200 watts of brilliance to deploy and determine how much are you going to input, strategy, relationships building, execution and design in a 20 watts for "presence"-designing it like an assignment, client meeting, team meeting will ensure you have a mental buffer. It does not have to be "meditation" it can be writing in a journal. The bottom line is there should be an "intent" to sit still so that ideas and insights have a place to land.

2) (Relative to responsiveness)- You mention in "20 Characteristics of Transleadership" to create the future yet in our class you just said to be present to your immediate environment - that sounds like a paradox. How to do this?
My answer was that most people are not paying attention and are not introspective. So the very act of paying attention allows you to see signs in the macro that are much more accurate. As a result you will have much more mental lead time to observe, scan and act. The macro will anticipate that you are "doing something" but the truth is - you are paying attention and therefore, stepping forward with a higher degree of accuracy and wise steps vs. intelligent steps.

 The workshop was concluded with a Vipassana Meditation session.

An Uncomfortable Soul- A Short Story

Once again she has started talking to herself. It’s her‘alone-time’ when thousands of thoughts are crossing her mind. All those questions that include ‘Why me?’and every situation that made her feel bad is flashing from the past.She has a bunch of people around her. Those people who have different mindsets, different goals, and different approach towards life.  May be she builds stronger bonds with lesser people. She is questioning herself, “Is it worth being here?”May be she doubts because,in this temporary world, she still believes in profound talks and eternal relationships. Not just her life revolves around building connections rather she believes in living them. People often perceive her as one with detached persona.But she is a human with reserved emotions who takes a while to truly open up.She hardly discusses her emotions except when she feels she has built a strong enough connection with a person. No doubt, socializing is a difficult task for her. An

18th January, 2013 And how a book changed my life forever? Caution-Nobody is a complete extrovert or introvert. These are tendencies and we all are on different points of the scale. We have lived in a world which worships the ‘Extrovert’ and pushes the ‘Introvert’ to become an extrovert, to get success. As 'The New York Times' bestselling author Susan Cain says, “Introversion along with its cousins sensitivity, seriousness and shyness is now a second class personality trait.” But many of us have not even realised the world has changed. The credit for this goes to Social Media (aka Facebook, Linkedin Twitter and others), which arrived around 2006. Social Media gives an opportunity to introverts to express themselves from the computer (later they can come out in the open to express their passions.) Sometime back, Raja Choudhury, well known Digital Filmmaker-Director & Founder, Universal Quest & C3CUBE Multimedia, recommended me to read The New York Time
