GRIHALAKSHMI TO GLOBAL CEO

TIMELESS POWER OF FEMININE LEADERSHIP

- DR. SHWETA SHARMA

Leadership today is no longer measured by who sits on a throne or chairs a boardroom. It is increasingly defined by vision, adaptability, and compassion — qualities women have practiced for centuries.

From managing the rhythm of family life in rural India to directing the strategies of global companies, women have consistently proven that leadership is a matter of skill, not gender.

"Leadership belongs to everyone. Whether balancing a household budget or managing a multinational enterprise, women have always demonstrated the ability to merge empathy with strategy," observes Dr. Sharma.

HOME: THE ORIGINAL SCHOOL OF LEADERSHIP

The home as the very first site of leadership training. The grihalakshmi — the woman at the center of the home — has always been more than a caretaker. She is the budget planner, crisis manager, teacher, and mediator of conflicts. These tasks, quietly carried out, prepared women for leadership in the wider world.

"The kitchen table has long been a strategy desk," the skills developed within the home later evolved into competencies that shaped politics, business, and society.
