EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

The report is based on the leadership style of Shenaz Ladak, who is an entrepreneur and has been self-employed since last 25 years. She started her career as an employee in an accounting firm and today she is a proud owner of a wide hospitality business.

The interview was conducted face to face, moreover, we were able to get few video clips of the interview as well. The interview started with Shenaz's introduction and thereafter, flowed with few questions which were completely related to the topic, leadership and to the course text. The interview was a great experience for us as leadership students, as the answers provided to us were quite outstanding and gave us a good picture of how to apply the theoretical knowledge in the real working environment.

Finally, there were few valuable points added by the leader from her own professional and personal life experiences. According to us, these points can never be studied from any text book, these are the learnings which, one can get only from the real life experiences. There was a point discussed by the leader which was quite influential and is generally ignored by most of the business people; the point was regarding how to maintain work-life balance. And now, we realize the importance the of work-life balance a lot of other topics which were discussed during the interview.
