Dr. Jitendra’s experience in the education sector

I have been in this education sector since I started taking education, probably from KG standard. The sector is really vast and it is changing every moment. I must say that it is the mother of all the sectors.

All the other sectors are just subsidiary or branches of it. But as you know like a mother at home or trunk of a tree in ground always compromises or is deprived on nutrition besides its greatest contribution, so is the case here also. 

Then also, I find this is the noblest of the sector to work in and as such it has all the spheres of the activities which will give you wealth, health happiness and satisfaction and contribution towards making the world a better place to live. 

Dr. Jitendra’s philosophy of leadership and his leadership style

I don’t have any style of leadership. Rather, I simply follow and believe my instincts before taking any decision. The biggest quality of my personality is the flexibility and openness to the better solution or option available.

I believe that leadership is a comprehensive word which includes many qualities and there couldn’t be the benchmark or SOP for it. The most important aspect of leadership is effective communication.

I think and wish that life should be lived as facing challenges only. Challenges invite you, motivate you, provide a kind of energy and vigour to overcome it.
