It was beyond our expectations. The workshop helped me understand that the quality of good leadership is not just about conveying targets and numbers; we have to understand the problems of our team members, build strategies, and then build a roadmap ahead for the whole team.

Ms. Harsha

Agri Department, ESAF Small Finance Bank

The impact is so clear that I can see the change happening right in front of me. What I liked most about the workshop was the number of opportunities given for people to probe within themselves, think critically, and discover answers that lay within them, rather than just being handed readymade solutions.

Ms. Maya Kartha

Zonal HR, ESAF Small Finance Bank

What I understood and learned here, even with my 25 years of experience in multiple MNC companies, is something I haven't experienced before in such types of activities and workshops. I really liked the exercise in the final circle where we explored five different categories a manager can belong to, a great exercise.

Initially when I came here, I just thought that it would be just like one of the other shows. But it was really involving, and it made us lay the bricks and bricks to make it happen in the future.
