Forging Sportsmanship & Leadership Culture: A Leader's Perspective | Ashok Chandna | TEDxAshokaRoad

A Leader's Perspective - Responsible leaders need to grow beyond “too much happy talk” and a fear of complaints. So, where are we on this journey toward a robust sports & leadership culture in India? Why does the culture persist? What can we do to transform youth sports into the positive, inspiring, character-building experience it can be? I am very encouraged by some emerging trends. There is increasing awareness of health and fitness in the country. Being a Sports minister I started VILLAGE OLYMPICS at grass root level so that community should start playing again. Indian villagers are good at sportsmanship & leadership at community level from centuries.
