“As a leader you need to have strategic competency, it is most important for a leader how do you envision, how do you build value proposition, how do you build market strategy. For that you need quite a lot of road mapping and to know how to build execution capability within your company. It is very important that the strategy has a matching execution capability and unless you hire the right people on meritocracy a basis you cannot run a company because it is very important as a selection criterion.”

A LUMINOUS FORCE IN LEADERSHIP DEVELOPMENT AND INTERNATIONAL DIPLOMACY: CHARTING NEW TERRAINS IN WEALTH MANAGEMENT AND EXECUTIVE COACHING

Udaya understands that as a leader, strategic competency is paramount. It is through envisioning and building a strong value proposition and market strategy that one can create a solid foundation for success.

Road mapping plays a crucial role in this process, ensuring that every step taken aligns with the overall strategy. Moreover, the execution capability must match the strategic vision, underscoring the importance of hiring individuals based on meritocracy. Without the right people in place, a company cannot thrive.

“Even if you have the right talent, you must have a mindset of continuous development of that talent or you will not sustain, so you need to acquire and develop talent. And the last thing is your personal proficiency and your personal brand, if you do not have a role model leader you cannot sustain.”

But it doesn't stop there. H.E. Udaya Indrarathna emphasizes the significance of continuous talent acquisition and development. Even with the right talent on board, a leader must foster an environment of ongoing growth and learning. By investing in the development of individuals, leaders can nurture their potential and create a culture of excellence.
