'Impact of Inner Theater in A Leader’s journey of Leadership' with Lalita Raman.

The impact of unconscious processes is considerable not only in the domains of creativity, love, and friendship, but also has a considerable effect on thought, behavior, and outcomes in organizational life. Each of us in our life - work and personal, has to deal with what can be described as our “inner theater”—the programming that each of us has incorporated from our genetic inheritance and childhood experiences. 

What has our “inner theater” got to do with organizations and leadership ? 

Given the power that executives wield, the influence of our inner theater on the rest of the organization is considerable.
 
Each of us have a specific view of the world. This outlook is influenced by a unique “inner theatre” where thematic scripts shape our interpretation of the world and how we behave in it.
 
Our attitudes and interactions with others are a result of a complex confluence of our ‘inner theatre’, influenced by memories of our relationships with authority figures early in life, significant life experiences, examples set by other executives, and formal leadership training. How can we become more aware of our inner theater and manage in a way that our behaviors and actions have a positive effect on organizations, communities and in other aspect of our lives?

Given the unprecedented changes in our external environment, it has become even more important to increase our self-awareness to learn from multiple perspectives and work in a holistic way.
