My guest Bala Sankaran, shares why this leadership mindset is easy for some including him, but not for many. He also believes that all leaders have this trait but very few use it when it comes to building high-performing organizations. Bala has been a successful entrepreneur who built and sold his tech business, has scaled teams at Google and Twitter and worked as a consultant at McKinsey. And despite working at all these global organizations, he is most proud of the wellness non-profit he started (RHWB.Org) that is now across 14 countries, 30 US states, with thousands of members. He attributes his success to this one trait, Happiness, that he believes all leaders have but very few dig deeper to access it. This is a must watch episode for CEOs, founders, entrepreneurs, managers, and anyone currently leading teams or wishes to be a high-performing leader.
