Synopsis
In today’s VUCA (Volatile, Uncertain, Complex, Ambiguous) world, leaders face more challenges than ever before. The old model of ‘Command and Control’ no longer resonates with the new generation of employees. The old archetype of the workaholic CEO is not tenable in a new-age world that celebrates well-being as much as wealth. Leaders cannot rely only on their IQ and EQ. They also need to enhance their NQ (Nurturing Quotient). Nurturing Leadership, measured through NQ, is the ability to nurture both self and others to create impact at scale. If leaders cannot be nurturers, they risk an early burnout, personal irrelevance, as well as disengaged teams and stagnant organizations.
Drawing from their extensive experience and over 115 in-depth interviews with CEOs across sectors, from start-ups to multinational corporations, the authors, Rajesh Ramakrishnan and Nirupama Subramanian make a compelling case for Nurturing Leadership. The Nurturing Quotient is packed with actionable insights that translate into everyday leadership habits. This playbook offers tools and techniques to nurture oneself along the four key dimensions mind, body, heart and soul and to nurture others through the MILE behaviours: mentoring and coaching, inspiring, listening, and empowering.
