Leadership from the Inner Being: Overcoming the Blind Spots
Sri Amit Ray explains the concept of overcoming leadership blind spots from within. He also describes how to overcome the blind spots in leadership and decision-making processes.
Leadership begins with a simple human gesture, which is to inspire others. To inspire others, you must feel integrated, harmonious, and whole. Temperamant is the key discipline of leadership. When you are disconnected from your inner being, you don’t feel solid and whole within yourself. When you are connected to your inner being, you feel integrated, harmonious, and whole.
Here, by inner dimensions I mean inner strength, inner vision – the expanded consciousness beyond the small ego which considers him or her self separate from the rest. On the Physical body level we have emotional blockages. When you are connected with your Inner Being, you feel integrated, harmonious and whole.
Blind spots in leadership refer to areas where leaders may lack awareness or insight into their own behavior, biases, or the impact of their actions on others. These blind spots can hinder effective leadership and lead to misunderstandings, conflicts, and missed opportunities for growth and development.
When you operate from your Inner Being you can overcome the mundane emotional blockages that drags you down. Through leadership chakra meditations, mindfulness and positive mindset we can get connection with our Inner Being. Mahatma Gandhi and Martin Luther King are the examples of leadership from Inner Being.
Authentic Leadership and Inner Dimensions:
We can consistently inspire others when we are authentic – authentic to ourselves and authentic to others. Authenticity is the single most important principle of leadership. Authenticity comes from our deeper inner dimensions. It comes from our core values, principles, and life experiences.
To be a good leader you must be authentic to your current state of development as well as to your potential state of development. In cryptography, authenticity means messages that received by A are actually sent by B – there is no noise, error or loss of information. In leadership, authenticity means what you think, what you say and what you do are in harmony. There should not be any contradiction, confusion or doubt. Today’s best leaders are authentic leaders. They are connected with their inner being, which guides them in their daily actions and enables them to earn the trust of their subordinates, peers, and shareholders.
