Leading from the Back: Putting Theory into Practice at DICE !

Leading from the Back: Putting Theory into Practice at DICE !

"Leading from the Back to Achieve the Impossible" isn't just a leadership book, it's a mirror reflecting the approach we've taken at Doon Business School's Incubation Centre for Entrepreneurship (DICE) DICE since co-founding it with my students Shivam Singh Divyant Singh Deora Avinash Bhadauria Shejal Singh Apurva Mishra Archita Srivastava Sudhanshu Ojha Devjyoti Chandra Ishu Kumar Jatin Saini in 2021.

The book beautifully articulates the core principles of leading from behind:

  1. Shifting Gears: The tools that got you here won't necessarily take you to the next level. As a leader, be open to adapting and learning new approaches.
  2. Empowering, not dominating: Leadership isn't about being the "best," it's about elevating your team. Let their strengths shine!
  3. Embracing the "Impossible": Don't shy away from bold ideas. Pursuing audacious improvements fuels innovation.
  4. Building Trust (the Foundation of Everything): People follow those they trust. This trust is built on two pillars: liking and trusting you. Lead with integrity, "walk the talk," and consistently do the right thing.
  5. The Power of Collaboration: The seemingly insurmountable can be tackled through teamwork. Collaboration allows diverse perspectives to come together and solve complex problems.

These principles resonate deeply with our mission at DICE. We foster an environment where students take ownership, make decisions, and learn from their experiences.

I have always been truly grateful to be a part of DICE and more than that being a part of such a amazing and creative team who was efficiently guided and reinforced by our captain Himanshu Chauhan (PhD) Sir. Sir you always made us believe that we should try our best and not be afraid of failure at any cost. “Never tell people how to do things. Tell them what to do and they will surprise you with their creativity”. I have experienced, you had this same belief while working with us.???? Thank you for believing in us and for always being there as a wonderful mentor. ??????
