Ramayana from a New Perspective - Lessons in Leadership (& Life) by Anil Srinivas Chilla

​About the session

​The Ramayana is not just an ancient epic; it is a timeless map of the human journey. In this session, we explore the Ramayana through a fresh lens: not as a story of gods and demons, but as a deeply human narrative with surprising applications in modern life.
Drawing case studies from my book, The Ramayana Guide To Practical Leadership, we look beyond Rama and Sita to the lesser-told leaders — Vishwamitra's bounce-back transformation, Sugriva's extraordinary lesson for building great teams, Kabandha's Game Changing Strategy lesson. 

​Key Takeaways

​Bouncing back like a ball with perseverance to transform from Vishwamitra.

​Psychological Safety in great relationships from Sugriva.

​Decoding complexity with Kabanda's framework for decision making.
