The word ‘ oxymoron<\/strong><\/em> ‘ is itself an oxymoron.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

It’s derived from two greek words viz ‘ oxus ‘<\/em><\/strong> (sharp<\/em>) and ‘ moros<\/strong><\/em> ‘(dull<\/em>).<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

But this is not about ‘ oxymorons<\/strong><\/em> ‘. Hope that comes as a relief.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Have you ever experienced the ‘ power of giving away power<\/em><\/span> ‘?<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The myth that floats around is that ‘ if you let go off hierarchy, chaos will reign..or so many leaders believe<\/em><\/strong> ‘.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

But the reality is that when leaders<\/em> find the courage to distribute rather than hoard<\/em> <\/span>power<\/strong><\/em>, creativity multiplies, trust deepens and inclusivity expands<\/em><\/span>..<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

..and a new kind of order begins to emerge. Where one can stand out and fit in. Both at the same time.<\/em><\/span> Try it. And see the magic unfold.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

That’s what is called the Constellation Mindset<\/em><\/span>.. one which (metaphorically put), is about farming than hunting<\/em>, it’s about being bottom up<\/em><\/strong> rather than top down.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Where each of us is a star and also connected to others to form something greater<\/em><\/strong>. As they say, the whole being more than the sum total of its parts.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

That is how Visa<\/strong><\/em> reimagined how we pay for things..<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

..how Wikipedia<\/strong><\/em> beat the richest company in the world ( Microsoft Encarta<\/em><\/strong>) and..<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

..how Barack Obama<\/strong><\/em> and his grassroots team revolutionised<\/em> political campaigning<\/em> during his inaugural US presidential race.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

All these leaders what most leaders dread- they gave away power.<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The Constellation Mindset<\/em><\/span> shines the foremost in some of the most impactful organisations and innovations the world has ever known.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

And it encourages us all to see the power we can create by seeing and recognising the power in others<\/em>.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

And making the leap<\/em>. To lead, TOGETHER<\/em><\/span>!<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n
