Transformational Leadership in a Crisis | IIDL
An insightful and highly engaging day of learning at Indian Institute of Democratic Leadership (IIDL) with Dr. Rajeev Puri sir on Transformational Leadership During a Crisis.
The Battle of Longewala and the leadership of Major Kuldeep Singh Chandpuri provided a powerful real-life case study to understand how leaders respond, inspire and make decisions during challenging situations.
The key leadership framework explored was:
Influence → Passion → Credibility → Collaboration → Respect → Victory
One of the most important takeaways was:
Leadership = Job Ability + Ability to Inspire
Leadership is not merely about position or authority. It is about earning trust, inspiring people, building teamwork, taking responsibility and leading others towards a common goal.
The session on Political Leadership, Political Education & the Role of Rambhau Mhalgi Prabodhini (RMP) by Naitik Mule further reinforced an important thought:
Leadership → Politics → Governance
IIDL is truly an incubation platform for developing informed, responsible and capable public leaders—not a shortcut to political success.
A day filled with historical examples, interactive activities, practical learning and meaningful reflection. 🇮🇳
Learning. Reflecting. Leading.
