About Me

I honestly believe that shaking things up is the only way to find effective solutions to challenges. My name is Vineet Nayar and I am passionate about doing just that. I am on a journey to Search for New Leadership that will lead the way to find the solutions for a better tomorrow and I know it is to be found beyond established pinnacles. My bet is that we will find it in the refreshingly new approach of Generation Y.

While I am an entrepreneur at heart, I have spent the better part of my adult life doing a job. The secret to my happiness has been a convergence of the two paths along the way. Having spent the first seven years of my career at HCL , I ventured into setting up HCL Comnet to meet an unfulfilled need for IT infrastructure and services. It was here that I experimented with my theory of inclusive leadership – a philosophy which shifted power away from the office of the CEO and into the hands of employees.

Beyond the corporate sphere, I am working hard to catalyze my leadership theories and business strategies to spread the magic of education through the non-profit organization, SAMPARK . I have no doubt that over time, we can “create a million smiles” through improving the quality, infrastructure and opportunity for education to the underprivileged.

Leadership is not limited to a boardroom, a podium or a battlefield and it is not only the established leaders that people respect and wish to emulate. The world abounds in leadership lessons - in our homes, schools, offices and neighborhoods.

My blog is a place to showcase the real life examples of leadership that we encounter each day. As part of my Search for New Leaders, I would like to invite you to share a story about yourself or any other person who, in your eyes, has really demonstrated leadership in action. This blog is also a place for us to narrate our experiences and views to collectively create a 'leadership commons' that will carve new paths and result in the leadership theories and business strategies of tomorrow.
