NOURISH BOARD
We are witnessing a very prominent shift in the world today with the Economic Leadership taking centre stage amidst all the other institutions of leadership be it Political, Military or Religious. When there is such a huge privilege and responsibility being entrusted upon an economic leader to lead and manage so many lives & resources the first thing one needs to do is invest and work upon one’s self. We are at an important turning point today which requires an expanded awareness and an elevated consciousness- a new way of thinking feeling and acting individually and together. There cannot be any better time than today to commit to investing in nurturing a new genre of leadership ie Conscious Leadership setting forth a wonderful opportunity and responsibility for the Business Education to play a pivotal role in the 21st century. Conscious leadership implies bringing one’s whole self with total awareness a leadership position. Consciousness is being mindful, aware and present in the moment. Being fully conscious of what’s going on – both within & without us giving us the opportunity to participate fully in life. Conscious Capitalism is a way of thinking about capitalism and business that better reflects where we are in the human journey, the state of our world today, and the innate potential of business to make a positive impact on the world. At Thakur Global Business School (TGBS) we realize and recognize that to address the leadership challenges of the next era of global business, traditional degree-granting programs and professional schools as well as traditional methods (for example, books, lectures, discussions, case studies) WILL CONTINUE TO BE NECESSARY, BUT INCREASINGLY NOT SUFFICIENT. TGBS as an evolving Leader in the Management Education space is increasingly becoming CONSCIOUS OF IT’S RESPONSIBILITY towards nurturing a new genre of leaders & managers to lead & manage themselves and the organizations for a sustainable future dedicated to elevating humanity through businesses in the VUCA World (Volatile, Ambiguous, Uncertain, Complex). Inspired by our Chairman Mr V K Singh a true visionary & a deep believer in human force reminding us time & again drawing from his repository of experiences that when a leader is continuously managing & leading complex situations it is essential that a leader is rooted and WHICH IS NO MORE A LUXURY HOWEVER A NECESSITY AS OF TODAY. Driven by our young and dynamic CEO Mr Karan Singh with a fresh perspective & a compelling vision to create a future where the businesses are galvanized by higher purposes instead of being bottom line driven only and that serve, align and integrate the interests of all their major stakeholders thereby creating lasting value as the world evolves to even greater levels of prosperity, helping billions of people flourish and lead lives infused with passion, purpose, love and creativity — a world of freedom, harmony, prosperity and compassion. GUIDED by the INTUITIVE INTELLIGENCE we chose to invest our energies to transcend VUCA with Visionary intentions, Deeper Understanding, Clarity, Creativity, and Agility in Navigation, leading to a completely new instructional system with a sharp focus on Whole Self ie BODY, MIND, EMOTIONS & ENERGY. Going beyond mere rhetoric we are taking this massive action stepping up to realize our response-ability and seize upon a fantastic opportunity to nurture a new genre of Conscious Leaders keeping in mind the different stages a Leader goes through in the VUCA world: Managing Self | Leading Others | Leading Managers | Leading Leaders | Leading the Organization It is increasingly becoming evident that in the 21st century digital era mere acquisition of knowledge & a degree is not sufficient for social success & wellbeing. There is a greater need to complement the horizontal with vertical leadership as it is the fastest, most powerful way to accelerate both our own transformation, drive the economic engine and at same time impact our society & planet Hugely Inspired to contribute and transform the leadership landscape we have formed a NOURISH BOARD comprising of conscious leaders in their respective domains who will partner & collaborate with us in our vision to nurture conscious leaders to elevate the current consciousness of businesses and thereby elevate the human race through conscious capitalism. Under the NOURISH BOARD we shall be singularly focused in nurturing conscious leaders mastering the science & art of unlocking their peak HUMAN potential hugely empowered to contribute & deliver wellbeing for themselves, organizations & planet at large. The first step is to start from oneself and then allow the cascading effect to spread wide and deep. The board shall comprise of experts in their respective domains resonating with the desired consciousness and as a willing partner inspired to collaborate in our vision to nurture conscious leaders for sustainable organizations. All the programs designed under the guidance of the Nourish Board will be on a fundamental premise and a shift from HAVING – DOING – BEING to BEING- DOING- HAVING
As part of the very first initiative of the Nourish Board we have incorporated a new subject of Self Management in the PGDM curriculum (2017-2019) for to kick-start the action. At TGBS we ask and shall continue asking ourselves every passing day the following questions. • Are WE going to continue giving legitimacy to those systems and institutions we complain about? • Or are WE going to begin contributing by investing in building these new breed of CONSCIOUS leaders URGENTLY required in the 21st century to save the Human Race as a species? • Are WE ready to embark on a practice of self-discovery, to examine our life and raise our own consciousness so that one is sensitive to the pulse of humanity and the power and purity of a responsible global citizenry? Now is the time to GET INTO ACTION. Now is the time to GET INTO ACTION. Now is the time to take 100% RESPONSIBILITY to lead the way AS WE possess the EVOLVED CONSCIOUSNESS & EXPANDED AWARENESS to PLAY THE ROLE OF A CONSCIOUS EDUCATOR HAVING A COMPELLING VISION TO PUSH HUMANITY FORWARD AS A RACE.
