The Leadership Script: Approach to Power

Introduction
Power has always shaped leadership, from ancient empires to modern organizations. Yet,
power is often misunderstood—either feared as a corrupting force or glorified as dominance.
The wisdom of ancient sutras offers a deeper perspective: power is neither good nor bad, but
a force that must be understood, harnessed, and directed with wisdom.
This workshop explores how the human search for significance, the role of property, the
authority of rules, and the pursuit of stability influence leadership and management today. It
challenges leaders to look beyond domination and control, and instead cultivate the maturity
to empower others while managing their own anxieties and instincts.
The question is not whether you can lead, but whether you can lead with the courage to
outgrow the lion within.
