Strength does not come from physical capacity. It comes from an indomitable will.
Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi (2nd October 1869 – 30th January 1948), is lovingly known as Bapu (Father), and is the Father of modern and democratic India. As we stand at the threshold of his birth anniversary, we need to remind ourselves that there is so much that we can learn from this amazing stalwart that mankind has known. It has never failed to amaze me as to how he was able to achieve what he aspired for – without force or might, by his indomitable will.
At a time and age when morals and values are trampled upon in the mad rush for fame, power and money, we need to stop and think: could it be possible to achieve all of this and more by upholding morality to the highest decree?
Another aspect of Gandhiji was his amazing and inspirational leadership style. His life story during the struggle for an independent India conveys an important management lesson on leadership – you can motivate and inspire your followers when you have a consistent high regard for values and character.
I ensure that a little bit of Gandhi is alive in the Soft Skills Training and Executive Coaching that I conduct. I urge all my readers to study the life of Gandhi – his subtle messages speak aloud and make characteristic sense today. His ideals can be applied to life and business alike.
Momentum Training Solutions remembers Gandhiji with deep reverence on his birth anniversary and re-dedicates itself to helping its participants strengthen themselves – not by physical capacity, but through an indomitable will.
