Choosing Leadership with Sumit Gupta
As a leader, you are always making choices. Even when you think you have no choice.
And if you are unable to make a decision, you are choosing to stay in a state of indecision.
The only question is - are your choices taking you where you want to go?
I am Sumit Gupta, and this is "Choosing Leadership" - a podcast for high performers with big dreams - who know deep inside that there is more. This is a podcast for people who know they are more powerful than the level they are currently playing.
I have spent a long time feeling powerless, and that is why I see where you are powerful even when you cannot. I dare to say what most people would not. I dare to speak to the "tremendous power" which you already have rather than what you believe are your strengths and limitations.
This podcast is called "choosing leadership" - because that is what leadership is - a choice. The choice to step into the unknown. The choice to see fear as a friend. The choice to take courageous action rather than waiting for readiness.
Join Sumit in exploring this question when it comes to your leadership.
In each moment of life, are you Deploying Yourself or not?
