About the program

Being busy with operations is certainly useful, but a leader needs to periodically disconnect and look within. To create depth in your leadership, you need to spend at least 20 to 30 per cent of your time on Contemplation.

Contemplation is deep thinking - thinking intensely about matters that matter.

• Contemplation on personal values provides clarity of thought.
• Contemplation on your vision provides conviction and substance.
• Contemplation on organisational subroutines provides ideas for innovation.

The Adios Leadership Program is designed to train you in the habit of regular Contemplation. It helps you define your personal guidelines in line with your values, which provides clarity of thought so you can make decisions that are right for you. It trains you to contemplate on achieving global thought leadership and not just product leadership. It trains you to contemplate on a non-financial vision and the culture you would like to create to achieve that vision.

It is one thing to know you need to ignore the market noise while making a decision. It is quite another to have the skill to be able to do so. The program trains you to be able to block all unnecessary external influences and make a decision you must make. It is a practice-intensive and not an intellect-intensive program - think fitness training rather than classroom teaching.

From Shakespeare to Alan Turing, people have used Contemplation extensively over the years. This program now codifies and algorithmizes it. That is why it works.
