Different angles, insights, reflections and reframes - Exploring Leadership through a wider lens.


AI is changing Execution. Are we changing with it?
Most conversations on AI today are centred around capability, what it can do, how quickly it can generate outputs, and how widely it can be applied across functions. While these conversations are useful, they are not where the real shift is happening. What becomes visible very quickly in practice is something more fundamental. Over the last few years, organisations have invested heavily in adopting AI, across support, engineering, content, and operations. These efforts have d

From Assistive AI to Agentic Systems: What really changes for Leaders
Current Landscape – The Assistive Phase Over the last 3–4 years, most organizations have actively adopted Generative AI. We’ve seen it across: chatbots and virtual assistants content and asset creation test case generation and automation support documentation, knowledge access, and internal productivity These have delivered real gains - faster execution, lower effort, and better access to information. But in most cases, the role of AI has remained assistive. You ask a questio

You’re Solving the Wrong Problem
In a landscape that is changing faster than ever, one question matters more than most. How do we know what the customer of the future will want? We now have multiple generations in the same customer base, each with very different expectations and ways of engaging. Technology is evolving rapidly, and it has changed how we think and how we make decisions. And expectations are only going up. Which means we are no longer solving only for today. We are designing for what does not

Logic Keeps You Safe. Not Ahead.
Some of the most important decisions in life don’t look logical when you make them. In fact, they often look a little unreasonable at first. Choosing a path others don’t fully understand. Backing an idea before there is proof. Taking on something that stretches you beyond what feels comfortable. Logic helps us protect what already works. But if every decision we make is perfectly logical, chances are we’re only optimizing the present, not creating the future. Growth, both for

When Leaders Become the Problem
This came up in a recent leadership workshop I was part of. I casually asked the room: “What kind of leader do you deliberately not want to be?” Most answers came fast. “I don’t want to be a micromanager.” “I don’t want to be bureaucratic.” “I don’t want to be political.” All familiar. These are usually the behaviours we notice and dislike most in everyday work. I paused. And that question stayed with me. Later, while talking it through with a friend, something became clea

A Question Worth Asking
What got us here often keeps us comfortable. The skills and habits that once made us valuable don’t disappear but comfort is rarely where growth and impact come from. I’ve seen this pattern play out many times. Leaders don’t lose momentum because they lack capability or experience. They lose it because they keep using the same playbook long after the situation has changed. What once felt sharp becomes familiar. Predictable. Safe. And staying safe doesn’t keep you important fo

The Space We Don’t Allow
Boredom has almost disappeared from our lives and that should worry us. We fill every gap without thinking. A free moment becomes emails, messages, scrolling news or reels, or another meeting. We stay busy. We move fast. We multitask. It looks productive. It feels responsible. But clarity doesn’t show up when everything is moving. The best thinking often comes after stillness, when there’s space to think without pressure, when the mind connects dots it couldn’t while reacting

Why Some GCCs Perform and Others Don’t
Lately I've been thinking why some Global Capability Centers perform well while others struggle despite strong talent and investment. The difference is rarely capability. It shows up much earlier, in how problems are understood and decisions are framed. The stronger GCCs don’t avoid common problems. They solve many standard, repeatable problems extremely well. What they are deliberate about is something else: being clear on which problems should be executed efficiently, and w

One Step a Day
Whatever your dream is, get obsessed with making simple, daily progress. That’s it!! The real magic is in the daily reps. The small actions. The little promises you keep to yourself. That’s how confidence grows. That’s how clarity builds. That’s how progress compounds, one step today, one step tomorrow. #riseWithritu

When Listening Leads the Way
Not every conversation is about being right. Sometimes, it’s just about understanding where the other person is coming from. Over time, I’ve realised - we don’t always need to fix, convince, or correct. What we really need is to pause, listen, and stay curious. Because when we stop judging and start listening, ✅resistance turns into a real conversation, ✅opinions turn into possibilities, ✅and influence begins to happen without the push. It’s not about having all the answers.
