Responsible Leadership | Reza Ali
I’ve seen so many leaders erode their sense of leadership when they bask in the glory of the power that comes with the position that they hold. Leadership is not about power. Leadership is all about responsibility.
Any team would prefer responsible leadership than a powerful one.
Write your own book instead of reading someone else’s book about success.
Why Town Halls ?
By Reza Ali
I had an interesting discussion about corporate town halls with one of my Presentations Academy Learners today. He had asked me what to do when a member of audience at a corporate town hall asks a difficult question during the town hall session and how should that person be ‘handled’. It occurred to me at that time that perhaps it will be useful for me to add another session in Presentations Academy Leader Presenter Workshop specifically devoted to town halls especially for the Learners who are in leadership positions. In the meantime, here are some thoughts on the topic of town halls.

What are Town Halls?
Town halls originated from The US and it is a term to describe an informal public meeting. It was a way for the town community to air their views to the elected leaders and public figures. Everyone in the community is invited to attend and ask questions. Simply put, it was a way (though not alway) for people in the community to discuss and sometimes debate issues which impact the community. It was also a way to make announcements, get consensus, feedback and ideas from everyone. There are really no fixed rules for these town halls.
We’re gambling on our vision, and we would rather do that than make “me, too” products. Let some other companies do that. For us, it’s always the next dream.
What is a mindset change? How do we do it?
By Reza Ali
I hear the word ‘mindset’ being used a lot not only with my corporate clients but also with my learners and I always ask this question, ‘what is a mindset’? Not many people can tell me what a mindset is. A lot of people talk about it but no one can tell me what it is. If we don’t know what a mindset is, then how can we ask the question, ‘What is a mindset change’?

Master yourself before you seek to master others.
