Today we welcome Hitendra Wadhwa, Professor of Practice at Columbia Business School where he teaches Columbia’s most popular leadership course, the award-winning “Personal Leadership & Success.” Hitendra is also the founder of Mentora Institute, which is at the forefront of creating a new model of leadership that is agile, authentic, and attainable. Hitendra’s research and teaching on personal leadership have been covered by Forbes, Fortune, CNN, Psychology Today, Wall Street Journal and others. He is the author of Inner Mastery, Outer Impact. In this episode, I talk to Hitendra Wadhwa about personal development. Growth is often associated with the mastery of skills. But Hitendra reminds us that inner work is also growth. The internal battles we face lead us to become more attuned to our most authentic selves. In order to unlock our full potential, Hitendra shares with us Five Core Energies and how to activate them. We also touch on the topics of leadership, service, purpose, and transcendence.  Website: www.hitendra.com Twitter: @HitendraWadhwa   Topics 02:31 Hitendra’s background and upbringing  06:16 Personal leadership 09:23 Public leadership 13:44 Ashoka the Great 18:01 Dominion over yourself 21:30 Authenticity and our real selves 27:05 Core Energy: Purpose 29:33 Core Energy: Wisdom 30:48 Core Energy: Growth 32:04 Core Energy: Love 33:33 Core Energy: Self-Realization 37:34 Conceptualizing the Five Core Energies 39:50 Living vs leading  43:41 The mystic in all of us 48:22 From inner dominance to inner surrender See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
