A driver of innovation

A resonant leader is the best tool to make an organisation stronger and its people well-equipped for the future.
JEANNE PEREIRA
A driver of innovation

A meeting was called, and the masked staff gathered in the conference room. As one helming the organisation, she drove home her message loud and clear, and vociferated her instructions in cold, clipped tones, exhorting strict adherence and meticulous compliance. The establishment had been disoriented for a while, thanks to the pandemic bombshell, and a general slacking up was perceptible. Summons for the meeting had yanked everyone out of their inertia.

And once the slumber was shaken off, they were galvanised into action in double quick time. The environment was surcharged with positivity and abuzz with activity. There was something unusual about her, quite often verbalised as charisma, and an extraordinary capability to create synergy. It looked as though she was anointed by some superpower and stamped with the power to command. Like the Pied Piper of Hamlin, she led, and the swarm followed. She called the tune, and they chorused in unison. She had indeed made her foray into the scene with a bang.

Independence Day was round the corner. Covid clouds were hovering, and celebrations had to be low key, due to social distancing and lockdowns, not to speak of restrictions and taboos. She exhorted people to observe the National Day in a befitting way and they did! The show was on, with jubilation being far from muted.
