Creative Leadership -- Question the Unquestionable

In the video that follows, Dr. R.A. Mashelkar shares with us three great stories of Creative Leadership for creating ultra low cost products.

He also shares the philosophy of designing and creating such great products.

It starts with a clear Intention.

The next step is to Question the Unquestionable.

And then it is all about combing Innovation + Compassion + Passion.

This appears to be the 3 step magic formula behind all the innovative products that have motivated the house of Tatas - one of the most respected business houses of India.

There is of course a great surprise that comes up towards the end of the video clip. I leave it to you to find it out -- a novel perspective on teamwork and how it motivated the life of Dr. Mashelkar.

Pranav Mistry -- Innovation + Compassion + Passion

Here is a thrilling story of an Indian innovator, Pranav Mistry.

His innovations with sixth sense technology are simply amazing.

Not only the technology he created is amazing but also the way he thought about them and went about creating them.

Surely it would serve as an all time inspiration to Innovators, Architects and Design Thinkers!

But what moved me most was his feelings for the masses.

He is virtually giving away his inventions and technology free through open source codes.

That speaks volumes about his deep spirituality -- that is combining compassion and passion to do good work for the society at large.

That is the new credo of modern living --> Innovation + Compassion + Passion (that is combining Wisdom and innovative Action)

That is what I understand by spiritual living with a purpose.

But my understanding is not important. What is your take on this?
