Leadership with a Twist of Yoga
Have you had a boss who never came out of his office? I have. His problem was that he didn't understand wind. Yes, wind. Wind blows far and wide and causes grass and trees to bend.
Successful leaders are out and about. They survey the situation. They change unsuitable circumstances. They have a view of the real sentiments of all the people who work for them, so it's hard for them to be deceived by a few.
If you want to exert an influence, you can't have a limited outlook. You need to understand the prevailing forces. The more you put yourself among them, the more people will be swayed by you - just as the grass and trees are swayed by the wind.
