Shakeel Bharmal lays out a practical playbook for relevance and performance. Begin with the customer’s customer to escape your own lens and create value that sticks.
Coach as your default leadership stance—“Leadership is 80% about being a coach.”
Make strategy a conversation that welcomes challenge and builds a stronger team, not just a document—“The real opportunity is digging into the genius in the room.”
Use AI to deepen thinking—ask it to interview you—while resisting “cut and paste” shortcuts.
