Bridge to Leadership

Neha Singh

So you’ve heard the leadership buzz words –empathy, servant leadership, sustainability, managing in a VUCA environment, being more strategic and the list goes on. When you read about them, your head swarms with concepts and theory, but you are still not sure what do they mean for you? What does leadership look like in action? How are people just like you internalizing these skills and creating an impact? What wisdom can a leader who has walked this path share with you? Bridge to Leadership decodes what leadership means in the real world, to grow your impact and influence.
