Hi All, 

I’m back after a gap 2-3 months. Really, it is great to know that a lot of exciting things are happening @ LeadCap (both in physical and virtual worlds)… LeadCap successfully completed 3rd leadership walk at the Silicon Valley of India, Bangalore. Bravo to the organizors! The site has also been graduated from only TEXT to (YOU)TUBE!!

Let me narrate a real life story of a kid who started showing way to his peers: 

I am staying in an apartment comprises of 100 odd flats. Two days back, I came to know through my 10 yrs old son that his friend in the same apartment has started `lending/circulation library’. I could not believe first… then I checked with my son how it happened… he explained to me that his friend received a lot story books as gift for his birthdays and after finished reading he started thinking what to do with the books… a sudden spark hit him to start a circulation library and lend books to his peers as well as adults {actually adults are heavy readers of comics :-))} and started collecting money too i.e Rs 3 per book for 3-4 days. He is planning to use that money for his expenses as well as to buy more books …. The reason for collecting money(though it is small), according to him, is just to make the borrowers responsible and accountable otherwise they may not return the book. Now, he is the role model for his peers and his entrepreneurial endeavour is being appreciated by one and all! The spark was his defining moment!!  Thus, it is upto us to decide what to do in life…!

Sangeeth Varghese takes us through a beautiful story to drive in the point that we are all blessed with a leadership potential and discovering it takes just a decision.

Why we should all wake up and stand up to realise our hidden leadership potential to build our nation. And why we should do it NOW.

A lot of you were in love with our old website - the pencil sketches and the inviting mood. And now it is replaced by a sparkling new one. Our website and look and feel changed, not for change’s sake, but to keep in touch with our growth. In this we have tried capturing most information that many of you have been requesting, and also some new sections to add to the overall excitement.

One of the new sections that LeadCappers have been requesting has been a video blog. And we are glad to add that. Called Leadership in 50 seconds, here we would be posting about 2-3 video messages every week. These messages would be of a duration of 50 seconds, to make sure that the leadership content that you most require to discover your leadership potential is delivered to you in under a minute. We would make sure that these are absolutely passionate and hardhitting.

We would love all comments as always.

Best wishes,
Sangeeth Varghese

I remember studying history back in my good old school days! I loved history! It always taught me something from great leaders good or bad! I loved reading about the great Mughals, the khilji’s, the lodhi’s, Tuglag’s the kingdoms of Southern India like the Vijayanagara, the Bahaman and so on.

However nothing thrills me more to read about Julies Caesar, Alexander the Great and Genghis Khan! WOW! What awesome leaders they were! They did leave a trail of blood, but that is not what impress me. It is their strategy, approach and attitude that they had when faced with difficulties that impress me!

When Julies Caesar was in today’s England for a war, he was faced with a dilemma. His soldiers were disappointed and were not willing to fight as they felt very insecure by just looking at the Anglo- Saxons. They wanted to go back to Rome, feel safe at home and that looked nice to them. But this is what Julies Caesar did. He Burnt the entire fleet of Roman ships. When he did it, his soldiers knew that the only way back home is by winning the Anglo Saxons. And that is exactly what they did.

Quite often in our life, we feel very lethargic, tired and worn out! The easiest stuff that we could possibly do is to call it quits and hang our boots. That’s Easy! But that is not what we are called to be. We are called to fight on, and to hang on. To take challenges head on and be able to face challenges eye ball to eye ball, square in the face and say: No matter what it is, I can face this a little more, I can endure a little more pain. I will be standing at the end of the battle to see my victory, I will persevere and endure through pain to enjoy and experience the fruit of my labor!

Winning is worth it! Fight till the end!
