Which Leader Inspires Me?

One leader who inspires me is Warren Buffett, the chairman and CEO of Berkshire Hathaway. He is not just a brilliant investor but also a leader with strong ethical values, long-term vision, and a disciplined approach to decision-making.

​Despite his immense wealth, Buffett remains humble and values honesty. He has always emphasized that a good reputation takes years to build but can be destroyed in minutes. This principle is especially important in finance, where trust is key.

​In private equity, leadership is just as important as numbers, and Buffett’s approach highlights the value of trusting and empowering talented people.

What kind of a leader do I want to be ?

  • Visionary & Growth-Oriented – I want to be a leader who sees long-term potential, whether in investments, businesses, or people. This means thinking ahead, identifying opportunities, and making smart, forward-looking decisions.

  • Ethical & Trustworthy – Integrity is everything in finance and private equity. I’d want to lead with honesty, transparency, and strong ethical principles, ensuring trust with investors, employees, and business partners.

What Leadership skills do I posses and what do I need to work on ?

  • Openness & Honesty – I lead with transparency, which builds trust and credibility. People respect leaders who are genuine and clear in their communication.

  • Asking Questions When Needed – This reflects intellectual curiosity and a willingness to learn. Great leaders don’t assume they know everything; they seek knowledge.

  • Not Afraid to Speak Up – Confidence in expressing your thoughts, ideas, and concerns is a crucial leadership trait. Whether in discussions, meetings, or high-pressure situations, speaking up ensures your voice is heard and valued.

  • Becoming More Organized – Strong organization helps with time management, decision-making, and leading effectively. I can work on this by setting clear priorities, using planning tools, and structuring your workflow more efficiently.

  • Knowing When Speaking Up is Not Necessary – While confidence is a strength, great leaders also know when to listen. Developing this skill means reading the room, understanding different perspectives, and knowing when my input adds value versus when it’s better to observe and gather insights.
