Mission
Purposeful Leadership for Today’s World
Impossible
We would have a world where leaders are creating innumerable possibilities; abundance for everyone with no sign of poverty, joy and peace without the debilitating impact of war and con�ict and newer ways of being that appreciate our planet and people and what is available here.
We need more and more leaders that can dream big and even bigger.
We need leaders that can stretch beyond their existing paradigms of thinking and not be stopped by limited perspectives.
We need leaders who can expand their internal being and embrace people and bring people along with them to collectively achieve their dreams for this world.
You are being asked to stretch your capabilities and take on new challenges, not only at work but in the world too.
The world around is demanding new ways to do everything and exploitation of our earth is a no no !
Electric Car Emmission: Impossible
As a leader, you have to take on impossible missions which many won’t touch but will make a di�erence to humanity.
And you bring people along even if they are di�erent because they share your vision and will help you achieve your dreams.
Leadership for Today’s World
We are producing excellent managers and entrepreneurs in our world today. Institutions abound that are assisting individuals to be good, perhaps great managers and successful entrepreneurs. However, there is a dearth of real leaders for the times we are in.
So much is changing in our world. On one hand, we have the amazing technological and scienti�c progress that is enabling humanity to connect, learn and unleash its potential globally and on the other hand, we have had the side e�ect of globalization, rising capitalism and con�ict, that has created inequity, destroyed communities, and left many hungry.
We need millions of leaders with the capacity to take on these impossible missions from wherever they are, within an organisation or a government agency, at the helm of their enterprise or a sole citizen of a developing country or a developed one and play their role fully and wholeheartedly in creating the change that is required.
Imagine a world with thousands of powerful, extraordinary leaders looking through a prism of a world of possibilities, and generating newer and newer ways of living, being and co-creating. A world of abundance, a sharing world, a world that appreciates the paradise we already have.
So in a snapshot, this is how we see a leader ~ someone who is;
True to themselves, Totally authentic Knows clearly what they want to doBrilliant enrollers of others into their conversationUnstoppable, powerful in who they arePurposeful beyond themselvesCapable of thinking of in�nite possibilitiesCapable of pausing and respondingConscious of the impact of what they say and doDeriving all that they do from a world view
How do we define today’s leader?
Our de�nition of a leader is a human being who can see in�nite possibilities in the world, chooses one or more, goes after those relentlessly and passionately, enrolling others in this conversation.
Our belief, colored by our own predilections and knowledge, is that a leader typically is humane, sees the world as a whole, and works within that framework, as opposed to someone who might choose to be relentless in the pursuit of ambition, and may be focused only on that goal.
A leader is driven by a purpose much bigger than oneself, and is simply unstoppable.
How would you develop as a leader from this program?
Our belief is that leadership can be “learnt” or gotten, when one discovers one’s own life purpose, is charged by the hugeness of all that is possible, harnesses the key skills of enrolment, of envisioning, and can use work disciplines as a manager or leader to build newer possible creations - organisations, non-organisations, systems.
Our de�nition of a leader is a human being who can see in�nite possibilities in the world, chooses one or more, goes after those relentlessly and passionately, enrolling others in this conversation.
This program will not just enhance your capabilities to get really clear about who you are, but also enable you to expand perspectives, learn the key tenets of collaboration, develop your self awareness as a leader and bring alive the potential you see around you in people and in the world.
LEADING WITH SELFAn understanding of self, the values, motivations,passions, strengths & one’s purpose in life
LEADING IN THE WORLD An understanding of working in the world with an unstoppability that moves beyond barriers and collaboratively achieves the impossible of missions
LEADING WITH OTHERS An understanding of relationships, enrollment, communication, deep listening to connect and engage with others
Every Leader
has to work at many levels simultaneously to manifest their visions in this world
What will happen on this program?No learning journey is identical for any individual and so we have developed intense learning and transformational experiences where each leader is submerged in Immersion Pods at di�erent stages of the leadership program to deepen their learning.There are 5 Immersion Pods that a leader or a group of leaders can choose to dip into over a period of 1 year.
In this pod, the leader focuses on clearing the past so that he/she can create powerfully from ‘now’.
This is an intensely transformational aspect of the leader’s development and allows them to feel free of what has been holding them back.
Clearing Pod
This pod will enable each leader to �nd their life purpose and connect with their ‘Being’ and understand how to work with the core attributes of the Being ~ creative imagination, intuition, self awareness, conscience and connectedness to all beings and the universe.
Purpose Pod
This pod will give leaders the opportunity to play and enhance their true capabilities of enrolling people into their vision, communicating authentically, listening deeply beyond what is said, enhancing partnerships to their potential and beyond con�icts and many more capabilities that unleash the authenticity and power of the leader.
Capabilities Pod
In this pod, the leader works on the ground and be of true service to the community he/she wishes to address with the Mission Impossible Project.The objective is to be in true service and get to understand the real challenges of the community through being in service.
Service Pod
The leader’s visionary project is launched in this pod and the leader applies their new capabilities to make this project happen.
A seemingly impossible mission is envisioned that stretches the leader beyond all their existing constraints and also expands their world and perspectives.
Unstoppable Pod
An organisation can choose a combination of Immersion Pods and a customized program can be designed. The �rst two pods are compulsory and form the foundations for this Leadership program. The last pod is key to moving from theory and realization into practice. Far too often, a transformation occurs, only to revert in part to the older self. Living one’s transformation over a period of time makes it a part of who one is.
The distinction is one of doing a crash diet for 2 weeks, versus transforming one’s way of living by an internal shift along with its use for many months.
What is the format of this program?The Mission Impossible Leadership Program will be run over 1 year and will be a combination of workshops, experiential sessions, monthly Evolve Circles (webinar discussions) and a live 1 year Mission Impossible Project that will totally transform your leadership. Participants have an option to additionally subscribe to periodic Evolve & Grow online learning sessions and 1-1 Coaching.

Mission Impossible Leaders is a collaborative organisation that brings transformational and intensive leadership programs to individuals and organisations globally. Our belief is that leadership can be “learnt” or gotten, when one discovers one’s own life purpose, is charged by the hugeness of all that is possible, harnesses the key skills of enrolment, of envisioning, and can use work disciplines as a manager or leader to build newer possible creations - organisations, non-organisations, systems.
