From Survival of Fittest to Survival of the KINDEST

‘Survival of the Fittest’ - Have we taken this phrase too literally and implemented it in every sphere of our life? Business is not a war zone, but somehow our perception, narrative and language is such that we are treating our ‘Karma shetra’ (professional world) as ‘Yudhashetra’ (battle field).

In this round-table discussion, we explored, that perhaps, it is ‘Survival of the kindest & not the fittest’ which is the law of nature and should be at the core of all our business undertakings. Some of the points we discussed:

1. What is the core agenda of a business

2. Why have we created businesses which feels more like a battle field including our language i.e. let’s kill the competition, price war etc.

3. What is the impact of this ‘philosophy – survival of the fittest’ on the health and mental well-being of the employees and overall health of the planet

4. What is the role of leadership in creating a more sustainable perspective – Survival of the kindest

5. Practical examples of organization that are guided by this principal of – Survival of the kindest

Compassionate Leadership

Elevate Self, Team & Organization

One of the most important lesson which this recent pandemic has taught us; is the need for Compassionate Leadership to steer through these challenging and tough times. Compassion seems like a new concept in the business context but in life's context it is not new. Compassion is our natural gift, we can call it compassionate instinct, which must be cultivated and harnessed to elevate our own selves, our teams and our organisations.

Integrating Science & Spirituality

When the consciousness meets the real world challenges of business leaders, a beautiful synthesis happens. This program was one such synthesis of science & spirituality; heartfully weaved by Sri Anish with the immensely valuable inputs by his co-speakers Mr. Padmakar K. & Dr. Asha Bhandekar. The Event was ably supported by Good People Relations.

Key takeaways:

1. We are going through a tremendous transition and we need to update our consciousness, it is beyond the pandemic.

2. Leaders have a very important role to build a heart centric resilience and to develop the capacity to have both-macro and micro view of the situations and responses.

3. Science & Spirituality are not two divergent aspects, they are parts of the same wholeness - Spirituality is science of the inner, and science is the manifestation of Spirituality outside.

4. Heart is the central space of connecting, leading, compassion & inclusiveness - it is the soil of heart on which the real resilience takes root and mind then supports this new way of leading.

5. We build a genuine and long lasting resilience when the roots of our mind are firmly established in the soil of our heart.

"Every choice that we make in life is like preparation of the soil, soil of the heart to embrace all unknowns of life."
