Advanced ManagementProgramme

PwC’s Academy

– Prof. Sudhanshu Palsule –

Every once in a while, senior leaders need to get off the treadmill of work, decision-making and pressure, in order to step back and examine their leadership.

Without that, leaders are prone to developing what psychologists call “cognitive depletion”, a state in which we are no longer learning. The antidote to this is to enter a state of renewal, in which we are able to re-store ourselves, re-examine our mindsets, and re-define our goals and strategies in collaboration with others.
