Leader: Guruji, sometimes my senior managers are very demanding, how can I handle them?

Monk: Your Seniors would have seen your potential and hence he would have promoted you, don’t prove them wrong, with such doubts. Keep improving yourself to keep proving them right

Leader: How can I handle failure in my role?

Monk: Success and Failures are perception about the results, there is another name for it- Learning, when you learn from your Failures and stop repeating the mistakes, that’s wisdom

Leader: What is the best Leadership quality, I should possess to succeed?

Monk: The best Leadership quality you should possess is to stop focusing on your success and focus on others success
