A good leadership practice!

Gudi Padva, or the arrival of the new year, was celebrated throughout Maharashtra on the 30th March.
On this day, in each home, the traditional gudi is put up -- a long bamboo stick, to which is attached a new silk cloth, a garland and a dangling neem twig. A silver or a metal pot is inverted onto this arrangement.
The gudi symbolises victory. It also indicates a wish for an individual to prosper materially and spiritually.
Some of the special sweets served on Gudi Padva are Puran Poli and Shrikhand.
and Aambe Dal and Sunth Paak. But the interesting thing is that before you start gorging yourself on the sweets, you are supposed to have a small portion of Neem leaves mixed with sugar and lightly roasted with ghee. The confection has a bitter sweet taste - much like life, which is a mix of bitter and sweet experiences! That also is the idea behind the ritual.

I think business leaders should take a portion of the neem confection everyday - just to remind themselves that their job entails taking pleasant, as well as unpleasant decisions. Something many leaders seem loath to do.
