About this site
In today’s age, we keep getting bombarded with tips and tricks, motivational quotes, guidebooks, etc. on how to be a good leader, how to build a happy and inclusive work culture, how to be customer-centric, how to balance our work and life, how to build agile processes, how to be fearless and speak up. However, there is always another side to being an ideal leader in a happy workplace with a perfect work-life balance running a world-class organization.

And while I put across my point of view, I would love to know yours. I would love to be challenged, and know your side – the other side.
