REFLECTIONS ON LEADERSHIP

Ljubljana, Slovenia

The starting point of all significant change is mindset.

If there is any one secret to effectiveness, it is concentration. Effective leaders do first things first … and they do one thing at a time.

To me, shooting for the rhinoceros in our Krsna conscious Society means not so much building big temples or distributing millions of books but building a goodwill, unity and trust in our devotional communities.

In the Age of Quarrel it is very difficult to cooperate and to agree and so this is the greatest challenge.

Organization and intelligence or intelligently managed organization cannot be made without unity and trust.

These are some of the most important pillars of our leadership strategy. These are some of our top priorities.

We must work in the service of Krsna but also on the service. It means to be clear what we are doing and why. And what we are trying to achieve.

Another task is to be able to challenge people without hurting them or insulting them. One way to do that is to ask hard questions in a soft way.

The leader of the past knew how to tell. The leader of the future will know how to ask.
