“Humanising Leadership. Great leaders are not superheroes!” -Ritu G. Mehrish

There are thousands of motivational talks, books, and articles that tell leaders how to be more profitable, how to be more effective, how to be more productive, how to be more successful BUT rarely and barely does anyone talk about the challenges, fears, and dilemmas that leaders experience in their leadership journey. Ritu has given a name to their temporary challenges and dilemmas – she calls it – ‘Leader’s Block’, Through her keynotes, coaching, and masterclasses she shares insights on how to Un:Block!

“Thank you for your great speech and thoughts! For me this was an eye opening new approach to look at how to develop as a leader.” -Aslak de Silva, CEO, Nordics Business Forum

In connection to talking about the Leader’s Block, Ritu gives keynotes on Sustainable Leadership. According to Ritu, when we think of sustainability, we mainly think of consumption and depletion of resources and more recently ESG. What we don’t think of is sustainable leadership!

Sustainable leadership is about building capacity and power to play a long-term game and create a long-term impact. Sustainable Leadership is not a linear line – it’s a wave with ups and down – peaks and valley! Sustainable leaders know that!

“We loved your speech, very relevant for all our leaders!” -Christian Roejkjaer, CEO, IKEA SEA
