“Most effective leaders realise that they must first learn the skill of leading themselves, before they attempt to lead others.” What is lacking today is not knowledge about leadership, but the courage to convert such knowledge into actual performance. But courage does not come just by wishing—it only happens as a consequence of one's level of consciousness, one's inner experience, one's self identity.” Jagdish Parikh

The Learning Cycle

“It is essential to understand and learn to manage and lead one's own inner dynamics, one's own self, in order to achieve sustainable peak performance and a continuing experience of inner fulfillment. Often many people do perform at a peak level, but this is largely through a fear of losing… Fear creates peak performance by generating adrenaline, which is very energizing and addictive. But adrenaline is also self-consuming and not sustainable. To achieve sustainable peak performance, learn to transform your motivation from fear of losing to joy of doing, which is a different chemistry—that of endorphins.” Jagdish Parikh
