My notes from the Talk of Dr.
Prasad Kaipa
  Integration of Good Thoughts in to action will happen
 successfully if it is flown all the three levels of Body,
 Talk, and Mind (kayEna, VaCha and manasA)
 Indian Core Strengths were being spread through Yoga
 and Ayurveda. Now it is ‘Management’
 When Pepsi produces beverage in US with allowed
 pesticide content, why they don’t follow the same health
 rule in India? We do not have such legislation !
 But is it right for PEPSI corporate governance to do that
 here in India taking advantage of lack of legislation?
My notes from the Talk of Dr.
Prasad Kaipa
Dr Kaipa asked participants to write answers of these
  4 questions
1.   What is my purpose of work?
2.   How do I make right choices?
3.   What is my definition of success?
4.   What do I seek as my reward?


I think the answers to these questions will clarify our
     own vision, values and way ahead in profession.
My notes from the Talk of Dr.
Prasad Kaipa
Some answers projected by Dr. Kaipa…
1.   What is my purpose of work? (Serving Larger
     needs)
2.    How do I make right choices? (By enlightened
     self interest and not by narrow self interest)
3.   What is my definition of success? (Evolution)
4.   What do I seek as my reward? (Total
     Compensation)
Some Leadership Principles that
are more relevant today
1.   Enlightened self interest Vs Narrow self    COMMITMENT
     interest

2.   Non-attachment to one particular view       VIEW

3.   Decision based on data, intuition and insight DECISION

4.   Using multiple forms of intelligence
                                                  INTELLIGENCE
     (Reason, Emotion, Intuition and Inspiration)

5.   Balancing History and Possibility
                                                 BALANCE
6.   Bridging the Gap between IQ-EQ-SQ and
                                                 PORARITIES
     AQ (Activity Quotient)
Wisdom            Scientific
Perspectives       Perspectives




           Management
           Perspectives
State of the Mind Operating Day
              to Day
       • Tamasa              • Sathvika           • Rajasic


       Passive               Balanced             Aggressive


If we don’t watch our mind at a given time, it becomes part of autopilot in
the state of Leading and Innovating.

What will you do, if what you can control is 10% and what you cannot
control is 90%?

The way out is tactical. How do we negotiate and move in a traffic to
reach our destination? Same focused effort is needed in our professional
journey and leadership way.
Enlightened Self Interest Vs
   Enhanced Self Interest
Credibility – Words must match actions. Remove the Talking-Doing Gap

Possible if you pay attention to within

Commitment – Feeling and Doing Gap

Courage – Being and Doing Gap

Think… What is my ‘North Star’?

Leaders-Followers metaphor has changed to ‘Leading Leaders’

Experience from Failure transforms you more than experience from Success. We

forget the process of failure and we strangely remember the success.

Failure is the only way to learn shifting from Idiot mindset to Ideal Mindset

Framework for living comes from failures.
