Leading From Behind with Saji Madapat - 116
What does real leadership look like in a world obsessed with celebrity, conflict, and short-term wins? In this episode of the Leading Visionaries, host Anjel B. Hartwell sits down with Saji Madapat, a global transformation architect, author, and cultural myth-maker whose work spans Fortune 10 boardrooms, geopolitical strategy rooms, and ancient ritual traditions of Southern India. With more than 30 years of experience across 40+ countries, Saji brings a rare and provocative perspective on what leadership has become and what it must return to if we are to navigate the economic, social, and cultural disruptions of our time.
This episode is an invitation for founders, CEOs, entrepreneurs, and conscious leaders to rethink what they are building, who they are becoming, and how they are leading in the Creative Age.
What You Will Learn:
Why modern leadership has shifted toward celebrity and conflict, and how that shift is eroding trust, stability, and long-term impact.
How the core leadership qualities of charisma, confidence, and character have been diluted in today’s short-term, attention-driven culture.
What it truly means to lead from behind and why this approach is essential in knowledge-based and people-powered organizations.
How short-term “hunter” mindsets undermine organizational resilience during economic and cultural disruption.
Why building sustainable, values-driven organizations requires patience, foresight, and a long-term leadership horizon.
How historical leaders modeled strength without performative leadership or ego-driven authority.
What Eastern leadership philosophies reveal about endurance, diagnostics, and long-term nation and business building.
Why surrounding yourself with people who challenge your thinking is critical for innovation and conscious leadership.
How leaders can prepare their organizations to weather uncertainty, volatility, and systemic change.
Why character-based leadership outlasts charisma when markets shift and crises emerge.
