# What I am learning from Mr NaMo First and foremost his speed of thought and hastening implementing good ideas. It is hard to believe he has been just 100 days plus in power. When it comes to conversion of ideas into good strategies to be implemented, I guess he wants todays ideas to be strategized yesterday and implemented day before yesterday and without a flaw at that. Second, full occupancy of time. He has planned out his calendar in such a way not a minute is wasted. All workaholics do this but we need to learn more here. Mr NaMos plans are perfect. To a suspicious eye, he is almost doing more than what he could all himself! Third, spreading energy through out the long day of work. He is fresh at the beginning of a long day and not exhausted at the end of it. He is managing his energy cycle in sync with his schedule of work. Yoga is of course his secret. I have my limitations after sunset although in relative terms with comparisons of my own various time slots of a day I am best in the forenoon, good by early afternoon, not bad by late afternoon and pretty not so good by the late evening at work - the last segment is something I dread and avoid by maximising my productivity in the forenoon, my kind of time! I would like to get the energy cycle prolonged like Mr Modi does. I need to return to Yoga picked up from Art of Living masters. Fourth, he is neither out of touch with constituencies that usually will be absent from such a hectic schedule of his nor he is so pressured out of the schedule and intensity of programmes to lose his sense of humour and wit. In USA he finds time for children of embassy staff. In India he finds time to call on his mother as usual on his birthday. He finds space and time for whoever he cares for. And in his speeches he is able to get a dash of humour. He is not overwhelmed with what he is doing. Fifth and defenitely last, he disintermediates a lot. He speaks to investors and listens to them. He speaks to bureaucrats and listens to them. He speaks to common man and listens to him. He reaches people every which way. He comes out of his hotel in US to shake hands with scores of NRIs. His feet are on ground. He is a PM who can be touched and identified as leader by even the blind citizens, if an occasion arises as such. Mr NaMo is tangible to his people and his people are tangible to him. This is amazing. People in power per force lose touch with people. Not this gentleman. One can apply this to organizational and personal contexts and get an equivalent of leadership in ones own sphere of activity. There is plenty to learn from th is leader. Do you agree? Those who disagree have views that are most valuable for us and are welcome to debate, rather than getting sarcastic.
