Relearn and re-install the ultimate software of the human heart, that their mothers embodied. The matchless ‘navarasa’ of emotional intelligence explored by Bharata’s two-thousand-year-old Natya Shastra, predates Daniel Goleman by several centuries. The New Woman of the past decade has often forsaken her heritage of loving, caring and affirmation for the tough hard bitten so called ‘male boss model.’ Both men and women managers need to put the human being at the centre of all business processes. Substance is winning the battle that style has waged on corporate battle-fields.
Be kind to yourself. Love yourself. Woman managers need to appreciate that it takes heroic energy to rock the cradle and rock the corporate world. First pin a badge for bravery on yourself for attempting it. Then, promise you will not even begin to tread the path that leads to the joyless land of being a super-woman or super-mom. Enlist your men and families as willing accomplices in the challenging task of reconstructing a corporate workplace that lovingly accommodates the needs of humans, for families, for music, poetry and time for just standing and watching the world go by!
