Meeting with a Leader !!

We planned to meet at 9.30 AM, ping him at 9.31 AM. Entered the war room, he opened the door, switch on the lights, cleared the whiteboard and placed the markers at their right place. I myself went to that war room couple of times before this meet, but never thought of cleaning the whiteboard :-)
While having a growth conversation with P, I got the opportunity to know him a little more as an individual. As he has inspired each one of us on the team. I always wanted to know from him, what's his secret to be focused, where leaders are into spirituality, meditation, workouts. But he is not into any of it.
To my surprise he is not into any meditation, spirituality etc.. He just follow discipline and work. Though his major source of inspiration or knowledge are books. Apart from that one distinct quality I found was to introspect, talk to himself.. Where he is quite and listen his own voice. I think thats the most important thing.

He is known as a fair leader, believes in people growth, engage team, respect their aspiration, non-diplomatic. Promote fairness and think out of the box. He is always prepared or geared up, has great sense of homour. Endless list, thats why the entire team admires him and believe in working in a synergy model. He inspire each moment and their is so much to learn from him.

So introspection is one..We get all the answers as our heart is like a ocean where pearls are waiting for our hands to reach..
