The style of this chapter may appear different from other chapters insofar as I write in the first person. This is because i am sharing professional insights from a non-academic domain, and the insights are personal. My exposure to academic leadership has only been tangential through my membership in the governing boards of a few management institutes over the last 25 years. All of my career has been in the corporate sector. However, some 'Brahma mantras' of leadership apply to all fields, irrespective of the domain. In short, there are universal lessons for future leaders, and the accompanying insights should interest readers. In summary, given rapidly changing technologies, social structures, methods of pedagogy and training, every institution must consider how to become and stay future-ready. Every leader must consider a new tool kit that will make the leader ready for the future. It has been my experience that impactful and appreciated leadership for a long time is characterized by the connection of aha occasions when the leader faces a steep challenge. Prime Minister Indira Gandhi is remembered for her responses when her party was split, Bangladesh happened, four successive droughts ravaged the economy, and so on.
