Our beliefs
- Teaching how to fish is better than providing fish:
Helping individuals discover their true potential would help them more
in the longer term than any other aid. This way they would help
themselves, as well as the society.

The gentle push
• Our approach is different
• We approach leadership as a decision, not as a
position or as a set of skills
• Leadership decision requires deep understanding of
human psychology and motivation
• LeadLab sessions enlightens people to take that
decision
• Gentle push towards that decision
