Episode 262: Human Leadership with Vidusha Nathavitharana, Founder of Luminary Learning Solutions, Sri Lanka, Colombo

Disruptive CEO Nation

Vidusha is a distinguished expert in leadership training and coaching, with over 20 years of experience in the field. As the founder of High Five Consultancy and Luminary Learning Solutions, she has made significant strides in HR consulting and leadership development, authoring over 70 books and establishing herself as a thought leader.

Vidusha's perspective on leadership emphasizes that leaders should not see themselves as superhuman, but rather as individuals performing a role, where self-doubt is a healthy trait that can lead to better decision-making. In other words, be human as you lead.

Highlights of our conversation:

- Leaders need to be confident and selfless to grow a strong leadership pipeline.

- Joy, self-awareness, and positive leadership are crucial for fostering a supportive environment for leadership development.

- Self-doubt is important in decision-making to prevent toxic behavior and promote collaboration.

- Understanding one's mortality and focusing on shared success are key for building a legacy of successful leadership.

- Investing in mentoring and coaching future leaders is essential for sustainable leadership excellence.

Vidusha is a valued individual in my personal network and I hope you add him to yours as well.

His work in creating a framework to assess validated ROI after training was one of the first frameworks around linking Leadership Training and ROI, and won him a place on the TedX Colombo stage.

Vidusha has won many recognitions over the years for his pioneering work in the Leadership space, including being the only Sri Lankan to be in the Top 50 Leadership Thought Leaders in Global Gurus, as well as being identified as one of the Top 30 Global Thought Leaders in Management and Leadership by Thinkers
