Presently I am authoring a
book titled, Spiritual Tourism: Tourists First, Tour Operators Second, And
Destinations Third. When I was looking for the content on promotion of
tourism and adventure travel, India’s honorable Prime Minister, Mr. Narendra
Modi’s inspiring epic adventure flashed in my mind. I viewed his Man vs Wild
episode with Bear Grylls, a British adventurer, with great interest and
included in my book.
Leadership Lessons from
Narendra Modi
Narendra Modi maintained cool
composure throughout his adventure travel. He demonstrated that adventure tourism
is for brave-hearted, not fainthearted. There are several leadership lessons
you can learn from him from this episode. Be courageous. Lead by example.
Connect with common people. Inspire other leaders to lead from the front.
I was inspired by his humble
origins and the struggles he underwent in his initial days. He never aspired to
become the Prime Minister of India. His service and commitment to serve people
and destiny made him India’s Prime Minister. He shared several unknown personal
stories during his adventure travel. He unveiled that he had supported his
father in the tea stall, sold tea in the railway platforms and left for the
Himalayas in his younger days.
For Narendra Modi, leadership
is all about service. He did not take a vacation for the last 18 years and it
was the first time he took the vacation it was considered so. However, his epic
adventure cannot be considered a vacation because it is another endeavor to
send a message to the world about the importance of ecology. He took it as an
opportunity to highlight India’s cultural richness and greatness by
highlighting the principle of Sarve Jana Sukhino Bhavantu (let everyone
be happy) and India’s core philosophy of Vasudhaiva Kutumbakam (the
world is one family).
Narendra Modi made an epic adventure
in his lifetime with Bear Grylls. He led by example with courage and inspired everyone
across in the world especially Indians and millennials to care for the
environment and ensure ecology to pass on to their next generations. To
conclude, let us emphasize ecology and enhance tourism.
