He also said that it is important for a leader to aspire to have a good and clean reputation whether in power or not.Answering to a question from Kul Chandra Gautam on leadership crisis in present times he added that a political leader should first put the interest of the nation and have a sense of sacrifice. His outlook should be like that of a soldier who is ready to sacrifice his life for the nation. He also pointed out that the problem in Asian countries is that of having multiple parties with multiple interests pulling them in different directions which lead to corruption and poor leadership.Answering a question on leadership post-COVID pandemic Gurudev added that before every new beginning there is chaos and bliss emerges from chaos."There will definitely be a shift towards a more resilient and humane, compassionate society. So I keep giving this assurance every day to people, not to pc but instead invoke the valor in you and keep marching ahead," he said.On a question from Nirvana Chaudhary, MD of CG Global and VC of Chaudhary Foundation on how to handle unproductive situations which cause hindrance in the path of growth Gurudev said that this is why spiritual strength is required which will helps overcome obstacles.Giving the example of how the gold shines more as it is beaten more by the goldsmith, or sugar cane is crushed to extract its juice, Gurudev said in life people with higher goals will face many obstacles but will finally be victorious. Such leadership will act as an example for others to follow, truth will always win.Drolma concluded the panel discussion with a soulful Buddhist hymn for humty.This story is provided by NewsVoir. will not be responsible in any way for the content of this article.
