Our host, Kaushik, has an insightful discussion with Sudeshna Basu Roy, CEO of Marg Business Transformation, around her journey in leadership development and change management, what drives success or failure in organization, and considerations around diversity, collaboration and flexible leadership styles.

They have an insightful discussion about how they started with change management, but quickly moved to business coaching and leadership training, which helped them expand pan-India.

They partnered with ProSci, an organization that provides a robust, methodical approach to change management focused on both professionalism and science.

Empathy and collaboration are also emphasized as increasingly important traits for leaders to enable change. Command and control styles are less effective.

Diversity, equity, and women in leadership are discussed. The need to better understand different talents and make the workplace more inclusive is noted.

Allowing flexibility, work-life balance, and adapting to different needs is important for retention and effectiveness. Gender norms and stereotypes are still challenges to address.
