Hi All,
I've recently completed a free online course on leadership from Coursera. Its course curriculum has been designed by IIM-A!
Though I came to know about various aspects of leadership through this course, I still perceive it as a completely different ballgame altogether.

Instead of what management experts and leadership gurus feel—no I'm not saying they are completely wrong—I've just a different way of seeing things.
My perspective on leadership is slightly different.

25-YO Poovarasan from Thenkodipakkam, #TamilNadu, has started a roadside food stall that allows customers to pay for whatever they can while the poor eat for free.
Equipped with an electronics & communication engineering diploma, Poovarasan lost his job a few months into the pandemic. He could only get odd jobs after that & nothing stuck.

Neehaari Mandali from Hyderabad is a burn survivor who offers free plastic surgeries to burn victims across Kerala, Andhra Pradesh, and Telangana through the Burn Survivor Mission Saviour Trust.
"Post-burn surgeries are expensive and not very prevalent. So, focuses on helping people with burn injuries who do not have financial stability or are unaware of such treatments altogether."

Per @NoNutTraveler, “the @united pilot came back, & he & the flight attendant began asking me if we had Epi-Pens. I said, of course we do. To which the flight attendant gaily said: ‘Well then, we can serve anything because he can just use the pen.’” NO! /1

This represents a fundamental misunderstanding of anaphylaxis, including #peanutallergy. In fact, this fallacy—if you’ve got an Epipen, exposures aren’t a concern—was the topic of a past corrective ad that FDA required the maker of Epipen to air. /2 mmm-online.com/home/channel/o…
I’m speaking here as a dr & the mom of a kid who has nearly died of inadvertent peanut exposures even with an Epipen, which we always carry. Airlines & the public need to know that Epipens are a rescue med, not a preventative, & do not eliminate the need to avoid the allergen. /3

One of my F1s phoned me on a Friday evening wanting to talk. They sounded very sad and I asked what’s up. They said that they had done two things today for which they had been told off in a way which had really shattered their confidence. I listened to what they had done and you
could see that things could have been handled differently, but I reminded them that there is not a healthcare professional that has ever lived that has not at some point done something which was not quite right and that these moments are an opportunity for growth. This also
reminded me of three other things.
1. When @MartinBromiley told the hospital staff where his wife Elaine tragically died that he wanted those involved in her death to come back to work, because not only would they be better clinicians but would spread the lessons zfrom@it #growth
