I am delighted to be with members of Alliance Business School (ABS) at Bangalore. My greetings to all of you. I have been visiting all the states and union territories of the country, many nations and have come across several innovative leaders and organizations. It is remarkable how the initiatives of individuals and there by organizations are touching human lives and contributing to national development. I am sure the education programme at Alliance Business School will also generate many creative leaders for the country who will accelerate the process of India transforming into a developed nation well before the year 2020. The topic I have selected for discussion is “Creative Leadership”. Now I would like to discuss certain traits of leaders.
